This thread has been linked to the game 'Body Harvest'.
I just re-bought it for £7. You should all do the exact same, unless you were clever enough not to sell it in the first place:
"Some tasks are pure genius: a harvesting wave attacks an elementary school in America 1966. Your goal is to lead the children to the nearby church, but they're not getting on the school bus you hop into. Hop into an ice cream truck named Mr. Lolly, and watch the children follow. Mr. Lolly's "weapon" is a hilarious ice cream jingle. Imagine slowly driving an ice cream truck down the street, jingling a happy tune, aliens are beaming down and attacking all around you, and you have about 20 children following after you that you need to lead to the church. It's moments like this that make you realize the brilliance of Body Harvest's gameplay."

I never got that far in the game, think I'm gonna have to buy it some time soon and also get a memory card then complete it.
I'd hate to see the graphics now though. They looked bad back in the day, but now I'm better they'd damage my eyes.

You don't need a memory card it's on car save.

I got to the java level before my hydrofoil drifted off somewhere and I was stuck on an island, unable to escape, because spacemen suits can't go in water.
I got stuck on an island too.
I was just flying around in my plane exploring and then I crashed on some island and killed my plane.
Of course the island had no new planes or boats on it, so I had no escape.

I got to about the 4th world I think, got stuck on this bit with a load of lava and never played it again.
Think I'm gonna invest in this once I've finished Tooie, Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini for about the 50th time.

Surely the best game no one ever completed?
I got to the boss just after the bit where you help defend that massive fortress, right at the end of the American world I beleive.
Unfortunatly you had to fly there, and I crashed my plane quite a way south in some mountains and couldn't get out. Last save was miles away and I never bothered again.
Did anyone ever collect all those pieces to make that secret weapon? The only one I ever managed to find was the dagger thingy.

You're lucky to still have Tooie. It sells for about £45 these days, as doe CBFD. I really should have bought those 2 games, but they were £60 each and I had just bought a Dreamcast when CBFD came out. My neighbours have Tooie I think I might steal it off of them and then maybe sell it. After completion of course.
Yeah I have a vague recollection of those peices. I think I had about 3 but then I got stuck.
I don't think anyone could fly the planes, you know. I think when we play it again we'll find the exact same thing.

The planes were great fun, but they also seem to be the main reason why no-one could actually finish the game.
