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."

Damn them.
I never even FINISHED the USA, it was hard. But that was years ago.
I'll restart on Hero then, just to make the game a little bit trickier.
I'd like HH - is it really that dull?
Banjo-Kazooie is winging it's way to me right.......after Sunday. So very, very soon I shall be playing it properly (all the way through and not just on the beach/first levels).........for the very first time. Be jealous of me.
Shadowman will be good I suspect.......just gotta get into it.

No I mean, after you complete America, the game just ends. You try it!
Mmmm Shadowman looked amazing back in the day.
Do you know what is one of the dullest games ever? Hybrid Heaven. Was I the only person who bought it? It was hyped up SO much!
I want Banjo Kazooie

No.
I got to USA on Zero. It didn't stop working.
I started a new game on Zero (*prays my lovely N64 doesn't fail when-I-get-to-USA*), second level of Greece.
Tell you what, this is one of the few games ever where you actually fear the enemies. Not in Greece, but later on certainly. I love the Greek town names too. 'Trumpyton' or some such legend......
Actually, you fear the whole game because it's so damn clunky and easy to die on a spit of land, unable to swim and surrounded by badly animated people who are useless. And yet, it's absoloutely, utterly, fantastic. DMA are good, Rockstar are bad. Shame........
Also got Shadowman, which looks far worse than I was expecting - christ, BH I'm used to, but SM is ugly. Still, funny, clever, if a bit dull at the moment, but I played it for only a few minutes before the my lovely N64 wanted some Rush and BH. Kinda like ED for the N64, I reckon.

Oh and everyone, don't play Body Harvest on the Zero level, as you can only get to America before the game abruptly stops. Oh. I found out the hard way.
B**tard.
You undeeserving menace to my health.
Bah.
You undeeserving menace to my health.
Bah.
I know, the seller didn't list it in the auction but then I went to play Perfect Dark and it said Expansion pack found, I nearly pooed myself with joy. Guess the guy didn't know it was in there.
Exp pack. You slimy bas**d.
*menacing, gruding hate filled stare*
As far as I can tell, thats £15 minimum alone.

I got an N64 for £6 with 2 controllers, memory card and an official expansion pack.
Think I'm gonna go play some Body harvest now, I'm on the 2nd stage of Java.
