I'm saying this ONLY because I'm dying to see the reaction. Suppose it kinda enlightens those that haven't a clue what this topic is about.

Rainbird and Firebird software was created and run by the owner of Special Reserve, Mr T. Rainbird, also known as "Tony", "The Tony", "The Loony", "Run for your Lives!", and "ARGGGHHH!!!".

What a coincidence, I tells you... :0)

Waht are you two on??? I jsut wondered if any of these modern gamers rember any "classic" games, in these days of ps2 and such makes me wonder if anyone rembers where the industry began, plus i also hear Elite is comming out on the GBA so i wondered if anyone knew if Starglider might ever do the same?
