lol nice one. Alot of my favourite games companies were axed or merged into bigger ones though
I remember when i was small i used to get a gaming magazine and they posted aload of contact details for major games companies i remember writing to Lucas Arts cause i was stuck at a particular part of an indiana jones game (internet wasnt as widely used then) and they sent me a full walkthrough manual for free it was crazy oO
I remember contacting monte cristo games as i was intersted in loads of their titles and basically to praise them, i got sent a pack with all limeted edition monte cristo stuff and a pack with info posters etc about upcoming games and a writted response
It pays to be inquisitive
(Although try it today and i bet all the big gaming companies will wipe their arse on your letter lol)
