An unnamed publisher has shown interest in the game so there's still a chance Attack Squadron will hit PC screens in the future.

    GO Review: Panty Raider - Jimmy Clydesdale
  • A trio of aliens force you to snap pictures of beautiful women in their undies. Does that sound like a winner or what? Here's a little blurb from our review of Panty Raider which scored one of the lowest ratings ever here at GO:

    "You're given various tools for attracting and picking out your "prey." First, you get the "booty call," giving you a good number of overused and particularly lame pickup lines, ranging from "I lost my number, can I have yours?" to the time honored "Hey babe what's your sign?" After you've attracted a "babe," you need to find out if she's wearing the goods or not, so they've given you a superman-rivaling x-ray vision device for checking out the ladies. HOO BOY! AIN'T THAT ORIGINAL?"

    GO Review: Flying Heroes - Jimmy Clydesdale
  • Flying Heroes is a real-time first person aerial combat title that makes the mistake of showing off all its goodies before the first song and dance is even over. Here's a little blurb from our review:

    "Problem is, the more I played Flying Heroes the less interested I became with it. For the sake of a better metaphor, think of Flying Heroes as a stripper at a peeler who makes the mistake of removing all her clothes in the first minute of the first song. Why is this a bad thing you ask? That's simple, the show's only begun and you've already shown me all your goodies. I don't care if there's still another song or two left in your routine, get off the stage and bring on the next lady? err, game!"

    Be sure to check out the rest of our Flying Heroes review including a power-up full of screenshots. Enjoy!

    GO Review: ER Firefighters - Jimmy Clydesdale
  • Ever wonder what it would be like to take on one of nature's deadliest weapons, fire? Keep dreaming then cause this title goes nowhere fast. Here's a little blurb from our review:

    "Many a time, my firefighters would enter a blaze only to be engulfed in flames. You'd think that once lit aflame, the men would stop, drop and roll or perhaps another comrade would come to the rescue, but not here. The only thing missing from this game is the disco soundtrack, 'Burn Baby Burn'."
