You have exquisite taste my friend. That game always reminded me of a top-down SW, and I loved it. Everything about it was just right

It's name in other countries and on other systems is Super/Mega SWIV. It is meant to sort of be a spiritual successor as 'SilkWorm 4'.

Feel free to vote on a few of my ideas, or offer some of your holiday multi traditions.

Thanks! :mrgreen:
Pacman VS
Bring a Gamecube, Three Controllers, GB Player, and a GBA. Great game that even casual gamers can easily get into. Wired controllers add to the fun of tangled wires "Hurry up give me that GBA" :lol:

I think Mario Kart is the most pick-up-n-play-even-if-yr-drunk friendly of all the choices.

Super Mario Kart
TMNT:Arcade
Timesplitter 2 or FP-*If they can hang with this it would be my top pick!
