- Finally....someone else who liked the Manhunter series! No, the graphics
- were lousy (I think .info gave it one star), and the sounds were beeps
- and boops, but the game itself, the story, was excellent. I enjoyed
- "tracking" movements of those you were investigating using the little
- computer all Manhunter's carried (can't think of the name of it).
- Didn't care much for the arcade elements, although in the San Fran.
- one, the levels of difficulty for arcade elements was selectable.
- The ending of San Francisco practically mentioned a third installment...
- anyone ever hear anything more of Manhunter: Part III? (obviously for
- MS-DOS only).
- Too bad I sold my originals...anyone have one or both they'd like to
- get rid of?
