Well, they also said that months before the Dreamcast release came out, and prior to revision 1.1 of the neo geo cartridge release. The tackiness of the intro seems very intentional, I never thought of it as simple grammar mistakes.

Life is choices...

Feed the kids,... or buy games.

Hmm...

I kid, I kid... :P

For me personally it's no car, no kids, and no wife. Saves a lot of cash... ;)

Well, spooning with a Dreamcast just isn't the same thing.

Although 2 warm nekit sphynx kitties come pretty close... :P

But, don't go trade your wife just yet I'd say...

Not a silly question.

I don't think so. I've got my principles. And I tend to live by them most of the time.

But you never know. Never say never...

Sturmwind on the other hand. It's going to happen one of these days. I can feel it...

I want that toy ship... lol

lol exactly!! I've already pre-ordered mine but they are having but loads of problems with manufacturing, still I guess its to be expected, it must be hard to get it all arranged together and if one bit goes wrong it probably all goes tumbling down

so this Gunlord, I just saw a vid of Turrican and it does look pretty similar, was it their intention to be like Turrican, happy coincidence or is it deliberate as an Homage for example?

Production is as strong as its weakest link I guess...

It's widely accepted as a Turrican clone. So yeah, most probably an homage...

fair enough, so you haven't heard or read anything from NG-Dev mentioning Turrican or the similarities? I was just interested to know if it had been brought to their attention or if, again, they did it on purpose, I might see what I can dig up if theres an interview or something
