Ps I guess catch knows it and was making a silly silly joke. Brave Fencer Musashi was the game.

Never heard of it before today!

Would you like to talk about it a bit? What made it cool?

Here's one I used to play:

If you hadn't heard of it before yesterday, how on earth did you know it?

Anyway, what made it so highly anticipated by me was the fact that it was the prequel to Tir Na Nog, and I played Tir Na Nog to death.

I have no clue but it reminds me of old Sid Meier's Pirates:

I loved Sid Meier's Pirates, I literally spend years playing it on my Amiga 500. It was updated recently, but I haven't played it, so i don't know if it is a faithful conversion just with better graphics, or if it was totally ruined somehow

obs: google search for "iridi argot pita" brought it up quite quickly

Ok, here's a hint. it's an apple iie game. does that help? i had no idea none of you folks played the same games as me!

a friend of mine works for firaxis, the company that sid owns. he made a bunch of the movies in civ 4 and i believe he did work on pirates (the new version).

Google obviously likes you more than me.

huh? ok this is my search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ir ... gle+Search
(i changed the order of the terms, actually, but even "iridi argot pita" comes up with hits)
of course, if you're image-searching you won't get hits... maybe that's the difference.
