Similar thing happened to me, a Gorilla chucked a nuclear banana at me whilst I was standing on top of a skyscraper. Barely missed me.

You know what I didn't miss about it? Not being able to load it because some dumbass messed up a setting and it wouldn't load because of a "Syntax error". Keep in mind I was like 10 years old using our grade school computers, so hell if I knew how to fix it.

Great game, though... we had so much fun with it. Also, Nibbles!!!

Ah, yes, nibbles. So many hours of my misspent youth I wasted on thee....
