Other game that I’m interesting in pics and info is the Street Fighter game from Jasco.
Thanks for the coverage!
I need to get the Gen Con……
Seen your Salute and UK Games Expo coverage the year. I expected more of Gencon,but not much of interest there it seems. Might be different if you’re there, but from a distance looks a bit disappointing.
HAPPY SUNDAY !!!!! (Sorry .. force of habbit)
Thanks team for the coverage it has made my weekend.
cheers and safe travels
Been enjoying the coverage, cheers guys!
If only I had limitless time and money… Amazing stuff!
You just got to love Poots. Kingdom Death is so great; I wish I could have made it there.
Always very interested in anything that has to do with Flying Frog Productions, Adam Poots and CMON!
