The latter suggests, to me, a smaller bit of optional content, not an entirely new story.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155410179950267253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-17745082456832303802016-08-28T21:58:41.202+10:002016-08-28T21:58:41.202+10:00Ah, Antheads.

I remember it to be quite similar to the original, with the story being different ( but not THAT different ). I believe all the action elements are the same as ( with an added twist to one of them ).<br /><br />In my opinion, calling it an addon or datadisk is more correct than referring to it as a separate game. If it were released today, it would probably be called DLC. <br /><br />I'm guessing 51Torchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929817555431987717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-69106837004681918252016-08-27T23:54:08.110+10:002016-08-27T23:54:08.110+10:005252Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-6315555626883070412016-08-27T05:13:11.715+10:002016-08-27T05:13:11.715+10:00No higher than 50 surely, how many sequels are bet...No higher than 50 surely, how many sequels are better than the originals?Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-84958966576804164482016-08-27T04:05:25.136+10:002016-08-27T04:05:25.136+10:00I chalk that up to score and it was the most "...I chalk that up to score and it was the most "modern" game we had played as a Classic.
