Because the ones I liked were perfect and they would only ruin them. I can imagine Mysterious Cities of Gold or Ulysses 31 being any good if they made more of them. Look at the shit job they do when they bring back transformers and TMNT

set in American-occupied Afghanistan. Be interesting to see how they adapt the proliferation of bawdy sex farce jokes for a Muslim country.

When they speak in french accents they can't be understood by the british airmen, and when they speak in british accents they can't be understood by the french.
So why can the germans and the french understand each other when they speak in german and french accents?

Do not give them leftovers off your plate. For most people, this would result in their dog becoming overweight. In your case it'd involve a vet bill and a visit from the RSPCA.

I think the "glue grenade" is a bit ridiculous, but they needed to include something that froze pipes and they couldn't shoehorn in Mr Freeze.
It's a good balance of difficulty (for me) and it's not too hard to find all the datapacks and stuff.

The origin story could have been better. But it was a good introduction to the Joker (not strictly canon mind, but a good nod to "The Man Who Laughed" in one part)

Dear Persons at that great magazine called AMIGA
POWER,
Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap. crap. crap. crap. crap,
crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap (Snip! - Ed), crap. crap.
CRAP! Is this the only naughty word you're allowed to
print (apart from •@!fl' which I don't understand)? Your
reader poll discovered that 79% of your readers are 15 and
over - 1 think we can handle a few more rudies.
As the great Ben Elton once said, "TV is built on the
superstition that only a three-year old with a sponge for a
brain is watching." I sometimes wonder If this magazine is
like that, frightened to print a word like (We can't print this
word. - Ed) just in case a three-year old will read it and
copy you.
The frequency of the word "crap" is phenomenal. For
example, in the Downers section of issue 19s Pool review,
Stuart says, "maybe it's just me being crap." This could
have been replaced with "maybe it's just me being crap
(We can't print this word. - Ed)"\o much better effect. If
the word (We can't print this word. - Ed) upsets that
miserable (We can't print this word. - Ed) Editor of yours,
you could edit key letters like the T in (We can't print this
word. - Ed). You could refer to the controls of Kick Off as
"The controls are an absolute (We can t print this word. -
Ed), but they're a piece of (We can't print this word. - Ed)
when you get used to them."
For that very nice letter, can I please have a copy of
Civilization for my Amiga?
Yours (We can't print this word. - Edjingly,
Dale Bird, Cannock
(We can't print this word. — Ed) off. But seriously. Daks,
it's a tunny old world. You can put Die Hard on the telly, no
problem, with hundreds and hundreds of people being
horribly killed, shot in the knees and oozing blood
everywhere, but every time Bruce Willis says "(We can't
print this word. — Ed)", it has to get dubbed out so he
looks like a goldfish, or replaced with "Flip", or something
equally ridiculous. Of course, swearing for its own sake
isn t big or hard or clever. But, personally, I don t think
there's any such thing as bad' language (except in the
sense of having a crap command of English), only
language with different levels of expressiveness. How can
a word ever possibly be offensive in its own right? It's a
word, tor God's sake! (Actually, better be careful, the G
word's a bit borderline as well). That said, the Moral'
Majority (in fact a very small minority with ears in high
places) exert a powerful hold on this country, to the extent
that a magazine can be removed from shelves for printing
the most ridiculously wet of phrases - our erstwhile sister
magazine Your Sinclair was once stopped from using a
covermounted door hanger bearing the words "Bog Off''
(oh no. we're in trouble now!), on the grounds that WH
Smith, purveyors of the printed word to a nation, refused
to stock the magazine if it went ahead with it. We ourselves
can't even use the word sod' (taking our careers in our
hands here), because, seemingly, it's actually short for (It
is, and we cant print this word. - Ed). It's a sick and
disgusting state of affairs, but there's not really much we
can do about it. If it'll make you feel better, though, feel
free to ring us up every month and we II tell you down the
phone which words we really wanted to say every time we
actually used crap'. Okay?

I am Adam, prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets of Castle Greyskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, “By the power of Greyskull! I have the power!“
Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat, and I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe!
Only three others share this secret — our friends, the Sorceress, Man-at-Arms, and Orko. Together we defend Castle Greyskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
