[QUOTE="Cherno, post: 6324464, member: 6704531"] So, I have been thinking "why the hell is there no decent He-Man and the MOTUS videogame? You know, classic 80s cartoon show, hundreds of cool action figures and vehicles, a giant franchise that is as cheesy as it is awesome. So, following my Motto "if you want something done, do it yourself" I started thinking about creating a fan-tribute game. I say fan-tribute because I don't want to get a nasty C&D letter from Mattel or whoever owns the IP currently ;) Not that this will save me, of course.
