I doubt it would stand up well against modern classics though; I usually end up disappointed when I try to revisit 8-bit games with an emulator. Some of them work OK when updated though, eg the PC version of Repton 2, but that would be fairly useless without the save game feature. Their Ravenskull looks quite good too, but I've only played the demo. Apparently they're working on Stryker's Run. I hope they do Codename Droid one day. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
