    Never played it Phil, and honestly I can't recall it ever being 
discussed here or any of the sister alt.'s for Unreal. You've got my 
curiousity up though. Is this game available in the USA? I've not seen it at 
the store. How old is it? Thanks!

Ah well it was worth a shot, looks like I'm flying up to the walkway. The  
annoying thing is I know I've got past this point in the past, but can't  
rememember if I had to cheat or not.

Well it's spelled Honor rather then Honour so I'm sure it was released  
there too.

Probably in the bargin bins, it got mediocre reviews from most of the  
mainstream reviewers and didn't sell well, which would go some way to  
explaining the remarkable lack of walkthroughs or hints.

Ancient, well '98 I think. Sadly Microprose got flushed down the toilet  
before the UE started getting patched, it's about one step up from the  
basic Unreal that supported Software Rendering, 3DFX, and PowerVR. In  
other words with the only patch it's got alpha D3D support and OpenGL. For  
all that it's stil quite fun in a brainless sort of way (reminds me of  
Blood2 minus the excess gore) and I've not had any major crashes; and  
that's running it on XP!
