Yessssssss!

They've re-released one of my all time favourite Commodore 64 games for the PC as a freeware download....

http://www.ovine.net/game-cholo.php

Cholo, set in a apocalyptic post-war era, it's an adventure game/sandbox in a similar vein to Mercenary. It's a bit confsusing at first, but the new graphics etc make the game all the more engaging

Give it a go, you might like it

I'm tempted to take a look. I loved Mercenary. Although to be honest I played mostly to piss off the Paylar commander's brother in law by stealing all his furniture.

LOL Didn't we all

It's still very good, though it's amazing how, when you play a game that's years old, how much is waved right in front of your face in modern games, it's a real puzzler.

The only down side is searching all the buildings for information etc, it's kinda hard to remember where you looked and where you didn't, and like merc, you keep running across stuff that has no apparent purpose, in a way, it's great fun, since you not only have to figure out the solution, you have to figure out the puzzle too

I'm liking old cosole games you can now play on your mobile. Very good for when your sitting on the toilet.

Well, it's pretty good for you actually - Any health-type person will tell you to spend sometime on the toilet, try not to strain, etc..

LoL. Isn't there something un-hygenic about that? RoFLs,

HealthSector. LoLs. Might as well make SectorGame cover all the bases, health, lifestyle, fashion, brewing, pub reviews, brewing, pub reviews, brewing, pub reviews, brewing...
Well, you get the idea.

What do you mean exactly by "how much stuff is waved right in front of your face" Flip?

@ aldo:

I am sure his has electrical outlets in the bathroom for hair dryer and electric shaver As for a place to put the kettle, the sink counter will do

@ Grug:

Sounds like we're heading towards the right direction to start some serious business
