I think Pc's are to good to have Platform games on. Stick it on something slightly slower like a Gamecube or whatever!

Oh yeah, I forgot about Jazz Jackrabbit. I too only had the shareware version, though I played on it for weeks. I think I'll take back what i said about platform games on the PC, and I hope that Manhatten Project will be a great platform game. I think I'll also look for Jackrabbit next time in town now I remember how good it was.

I think platform games are great on PC, especially the older ones like Jazz Jack Rabbit (which I never had the full version of :( )

I dunno where you get the idea that the GameCube is slower though. Some people's PC's can't beat the power of the GameCube at the mo!

The Duke platform game 'looks' good, but there hasn't really been that good a history of PC platform games, which is why I tend not to get excited when one is anounced for the PC.

well, a good game is a good game. the graphics are generally just window dressing. if someone makes a good platformer, then bring it out on PC.

Well we are getting Duke Nukem: Manhatten Project which is a platform game. Probaly going to be a crap one at that.
