That\u2019s understandable – the game released all the way back in 1998, when some of you weren\u2019t born, and another good chunk of you were too young to remember.<\/p>\n

Crime is rife, and treasure is the goal for those left behind. While you\u2019re a bad guy in the Microsoft version, on Nintendo, you play as Earth\u2019s last defense, and your mission is simple: kill everyone who is trying to take treasure.
