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."

It's okay, it was well worth the £8 you spent.
Although I got it for a tenner 5 months after it came out...
It's been a gradual price drop since.

Oh wait I remember fighting some huge boss at the end of the Java level. maybe I did make it to the US then.
Just bought a copy off Ebay for £2.99.
I liked it when your command ship turned into a hovercraft to fight the first end of world boss.
Yes, Java was class, doing bombing runs down the straight at the giant alien.
Must get round to setting it up tommorow, hope I can find the leads.

I remeber Body Harvest. Twas very great. Shooting evil alien monsters and things was well good.
I love this game - if it was slightly more refined, it could have been outstanding, but it's roughness was all part of the charm.
The amount of times I got stuck on some obscure hill with no hope of escape..........damn infuriating yet fun.
I got to the USA, but it got so hard it was unreal. Still got a save there I think, so I'll probably pop back.
The last level of Java was brilliant, because, despite having to get there (notoriously poor aero-boat thingies etc), you got to take off in like 4 different planes, one being a giant bomber. Which was fun.
Great stuff.

That's just being greedy. £1,300 is far too much for a laptop.
YOu should never need one costing more than £1,250
