Crikey! Nick Marentes is at it again! Earlier this year he released Gun Stah, and followed that up with Rally-SG, you'd think he'd be busy counting all his money and watching his Swiss bank accounts, but no, he's at it again with yet another new game for the Coco and we'll see the world premier of his current project in progress! That along with all the other usual boring stuff, Games, News, old guys, blah, blah, blah.
