    I remember following this one when it was first announced. Quite hideous eight years after the fact, but I'm sort of curious to hear if anyone ever played it.

    Why always the pretty ones.

    I wouldn't think Virgin would be too strict on their betas/alphas it may be possible to find a cart. Biggest impedment is chances are they burnt each bridge behind them until it ended in a mess.

    That's a surprise for me, I had never heard about FreakBoy! :eek:h:

    It looks like this game would have been a sleeper hit, but as always small companies can't hold things on their own... That's too bad. I'd also like to hear more about this game... any info?

    Hey Johnny, could you post the pictures please?
     
  6. I remember Freak Boy. It always intriqued me. Makes me angry when games I always wanted aren't released.

    I never even knew this games was in development, but I have that issue of EGM. I must have glossed over it, as I had little interest in N64 back then. Sounds like an interesting concept and it looked good judging by the screens, to bad we'll never know how it would have panned out. Although I think it would have been far from a hit.

    I remember this game and saw a couple of screens. I am kinda glad this piece of crap never was released.
