Gameplay
The gameplay of the series is characteristic of run and gun games: large numbers of enemies and a player character with extremely powerful weapons. In most run and guns, contact with an enemy leads to annihilation. In this series, however, contact results in the opportunity to perform a melee attack and the opportunity for the enemy to perform a melee attack of his own if he has one. The player's melee attack is also much stronger than most shots. This leads to the ability for the player to run in and use melee attacks to take down a number of troops, and the ability to quickly defeat enemies that can take plenty of damage like the mummies in Full Metal Jacket 2.

I made a special panel in my profile with the intention of linking it but no matter what I do it doesn't become active (like it automatically does on the board) - do you know how I can remedy this? The link itself is: www.freewebs.com/boxboyslimited/tintinisunwell.htm

Hmm, as far as I'm aware profile html works the same as board html, so I don't know what could be going wrong there. It's certainly possible to make a bit of text into a link, so a href= works. Don't see why it wouldn't for a picture...
