fantastic resurgence aided by the activity of our sister company Mollin
Video who are releasing the series on DVD and video in the UK. Interest is
enormous and response from the lifestyle and entertainment press has been
extremely positive. It is certainly one of the best retro licences around
and I am really looking forward to seeing Headfirst turn it into a great
game.
