:lol: :awe:

:(

:cry:

But... but... I would've been about 12 or 13 the last time I played it - I absolutely loved it and spent far too much of my pocket money playing it. Right enough it was always unoccupied and I'd never have to wait for a go :think:

I completed it in the end - needless to say quite a crowd gathered to celebrate.
no one even noticed :(

'Shoot down 10 enemies' and 'fire, fire, fire, fire...' shall forever be etched on my mind.

*sigh* I miss you G-LOC, old friend
