Anyway, if someone can offer their help in the sense of creating a game, know what it takes to create a game and you know what Steam program is, feel free to contact me: minimister [at] gmail [dot] com.

Antaeus may raise again. ;)

The background story and cut-scenes are nicely put together and with a narration cast like Paul Darrow, Glynis Barber and Tom Baker you can’t go wrong.

What puts the icing on the cake for me is the personality of the characters and the banter between them. Listening to Patton say “Son, this is not a gun” if you dare to equip him with any weapon smaller than the statue of liberty still makes me smile.

Personally I always tried to allocate the characters the same vehicles, Ransom was my main chopper pilot, Borden flew my Pegasus, Koralev was my healing scarab, Patton had a Rhino etc. What about the rest of you?

I’ve started playing it again and I’m surprised how much I am still enjoying it. So often when you come back to old games you loved they never quite live up to how great you remembered them, however I’m loving Hostile Waters this time as much as I did the first.

It is such a shame to hear that the multiplayer code was never released. To be honest though I would have preferred a plain skirmish mode where the game creates a randomised island based on some user defined settings e.g. island size, difficulty setting etc.

Right, I’m off to perform a ritual sacrifice and bargain my soul in return for the development of Hostile Waters 2.
