Yeah, it was that shooter made by [old] Atari. Isn't Midway re-making it or something?

It wasn't that good. It used video for the enemy's and others. The difference between the characters and backgrounds were to big to really enjoy the game. Nothing special really.

Midway is also making an Area 51 game, it does look quit good, don't know how it plays. It's a FPS.

John Romero and Tom Hall (i think it is his name) are working on the team that is remaking the game

Atari is stupid for hiring John Romero to do that... or any company that has/had anything to do with John Romero. I wouldnt touch that guy with a ten foot pole in fear that everything I would touch would turn into crap.

one bad game does not make a bad game designer.

...one game? I'd say every game he's designed since that "one bad game" came out. Just look at his N-Gage titles :P

...so, you're asking if we've ever heard of one of the most popular arcade games in the late 90's? I think its safe to assume that we all have, and all played it to death :D

which Point Blank? Point Blank has to be my favorite shooter series, ever. Beats Time Crisis in my opinion.

Our Arcade used to have Point Blank 2 but they got rid of it before I even got to play it. :cry: so really just the original it's awesome
