Hi Dark, Yeah, I didn't get to play DK 64 much either. I only remember really playing it once, and then it was more or less a trial run at that. However, as you say it was sort of a best of Donkey Kong all in one game. As for the Amizons I take your point, but still I felt that calling them Amazons just didn't fit with the Golden Ax story too much even though they probibly meant Amazon in the generic sense. As you pointed out Tyris seams more like a Valkyrie seeing as she had a sword as well as fire magic. In my encarnation of the game currently my female warrior character, Adreana, uses a staff and I'm still working on her special magic attack.I'd hate to use fire as that is too close to the original. I am thinking of some kind of elemental magic like wind or perhaps ice blast. I'm working on a munk type character, Gabriel, who caries ashort sword and has the fire magic as his special attack. Still working on him as well.
