Hi Dark, Oh, definitely agree. I've actually been doing some thinking and I think what would be cool is a modern remake or clone of Tarzan Junior since presumably Philip still holds the rights and it would be easy to get permission to rewrite TJ. Reason being it could be designed to use similar elements of Q9 but have a much more indepth and better side-scroller of Tarzan Junior. A lot of the elements that made Q9 as good as it was could be carried over to the new side-scroller and Brian Fartgen would have nothing to say about it.
