Apparently Iron Maiden made a video game 7 years ago!
I have no idea how i missed this as i thoroughly enjoy IM (of course it would have been easier had i not been 7 years of age and missed the hype that was i'm sure concocted!) but apparently they did.
Anyone play it? I'm thinking of firin' up the ol' ebay and checking out if i can get a decent price.
Cheers,
Flukey.

On rails shooting, whoop pee doo dah.

This thread however has sparked memories of that Motorhead beat 'em up. Which was good, but didn't work too well on my Amiga 1200. (And then not at all when I upgraded it)

Las Naranjas: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! P.S. Happy Birthday.

I'm pretty sure that if you play that game you'll die.

I've seen at least two copies of this, in Tower Records and HMV, fairly recently.

It doesn't seem to be too hard to find.

You can't even get it on amazon.

I think you just have stores with old crappy games mr limping fish.

Ah my bad it didnt come up, probably cos it's not classed as a game.

It's listed under music. Lol...

And it's in music shops that you will find it. Both Tower and HMV had it under "Iron Maiden" in their Metal sections.

With the rest of the Iron Maiden CDs...

So its music with a free shitty game attached as a bonus, really! Like the Deftones pacman game.

All I have to say is, Put them in the Iron Maiden....fakes air guitar...EXCELLENT.

I remember playing a demo of it years back. And as much as i like maiden, this game has about as much stayingpower as a 13-year old adolescent on speed.

The game is very reminicent of old arcade auto-scroller shoot em up from 1st person perspective. The graphics were outdated 5 years before the game was released and I remember only seeing about 3 different enemies (in the demo, so that could be a limitation).

Only thing good about the game was.. er.. the music of course. But if you like the music just buy the albums, not the game.

Up the irons!
