- Not to worry, I found a copy on Tybalt a few days ago and tried it out! :-)
- It's not -the- most impressive game software I've seen on a GS, yet I'll
- admit it comes pretty close! Actually some of the scrolling effects look as
- if they were borrowed from FTA's own Space Harrier demo (ie- mountains).
- The game itself is far from being finished, but it wouldn't take too much for
- someone to build on it and complete it! Hmmm, it also reminds me of the old
- motorcycle racing arcade game "Hang-on" from Sega. Maybe it wouldn't be such
- a bad idea to create a Super-Hang-on clone out of it...
