Re: Halo On-Line? NO. Not On Crash-Box



Um... did you know that CTRL-Enter submits your post in Outlook Express?

Anyway, here's that link to the snapshots:
http://lee.flashref.com/

It's very incomplete.  Since then, I've gotten:

Aliens
Arctic Fox
Captain Goodnight (Yippee!)
Choplifter / David's Midnight Magic Double Pack
Earth Orbit Stations (EOS)
Flight Simulator II
Ghostbusters
Music Construction Set
Ogre

I'm planning on building a decent site with snapshots (better than the
current ones), screenshots, history, etc.  Anyway, hope that made ya' a
little more nostalgic. :)  Almost as cool as the games are the old
catalogues inside the boxes.  I love the old Lode Runner ads... and the
one-sheet Night Mission ad that comes with FS II.

Have a great week...
