Instead of the crappy Freddie Prince Junior movie you could just ignore it and think of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyTsGx1q1EQ as the first real movie (since it kind of was and you got to play in it).<br /><br />Some of the books weren't too bad either.<br /><br />Origin was legendary...it was sad to see them go.Donovonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424057052403603934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475641081843887035.post-24586201651226744412011-03-18T17:15:35.223-07:002011-03-18T17:15:35.223-07:00not only were the graphics and the controls ahead ...not only were the graphics and the controls ahead of their time, but the level of interactivity was unheard of!

Those were the days.Spencer Beardnoreply@blogger.com
