Superb. Thanks for making us aware of this project and working hard on it! Hokuto no Ken is one of my favourite titles, just thinking about how cool it is makes my spine tingle.

This project offered to cross various people around the world, ask questions to John Romero, interview an expert in Dim Mak, discuss with other project leaders...

See the HTML help menu provided in the fan game for all details or add me on your MSN to discuss longer about.

Unfortunaly in the US, UK and AUS, the fan game is a flop.
I may suppose that as this was not popular on TV, this is not popular 25 years later too.

Note that I hope to met Hara-san one day :)
