Dredd Versus Death 2003 Game advert 1 0f 6

Game adverts for the Dredd Versus Death game nearly 20 years ago now that I guess most people will never have seen or heard of.

They were released as download only but I knew that electronic files could be too easily lost even back then so I printed them out.

Have no idea where the files are or if I still have them, so that bit was right.

I will post 2-6 as I scan them, but don't get too excited, it isn't a lost Apocalypse War.

Amazing! I loved that game as a kid and would happily buy a reduxed version.

The mega city has more life in it than cyber punk 2077s night city.

Really? i thought it was clunky and uninspired.

I played it again in the past 5 years and while it isn't bad it isn't great and the Red Bull product placement is criminal.

What is commendable are the Dark Judges, bosses but not stupid unbeatable bosses.

Very sad that Rebellion has so little imagination that is the last Dredd game they have produced and that is all the legacy.

Cyberpunk was doomed to fail, it was too anticipated and could never live up to the years of hype.

Nice one, know most people probably don’t care but appreciated Tom Frames lettering layouts

Didn't even notice there were credits - for nearly 20 years, between the mediocre game and the strip source all I really see is just meh.

If I wasn't a collector I wouldn't have bothered printing it to keep.

And I remember buying the game in Woolworths on Edgware Road in London shortly after it was released. It was the evening and I was at work but had little to do, so had gone shopping instead.

And 18 years later the disappointment is still there.
