How different, than say, the attitudes of todays RPGs/video games, where at every turn the character gets another super-weapon for killing a skeleton. And Assault on Precinct 13 has the best soundtrack!tomwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260004326268490381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385336331396124855.post-38852960452325341552014-07-24T06:29:24.711-07:002014-07-24T06:29:24.711-07:00Escape from New York definitely. lots of suspensef...Escape from New York definitely. lots of suspenseful bits, Assault on Precinct 13 - really great and has some action going on.
