# This was an fucking excellent game
and I now want to put my Amiga back together so I can play it again :D

I tried Minter's XBLA offering, wasn't impressed.
With his recent rant about how the sales were really low he kind of missed the point: NO-ONE BOUGHT SPACE GIRAFFE BECAUSE IT WAS PANTS

It's the most faithful remake I've ever seen. Plus it's so much easier to see where Head is flying over when he has a shadow under him :)
