Help me please

I want to know the name of a game I used to play on either the NES or S-NES. For some reason I have a real urge to play it again and wonder if any of you know what I'm babbling about?

It was viewed from up above and was a guy in black running around in a futuristic city trying to get revenge for something. You could hire goons to follow you and have fights for you and you could ride the underground. (that's all I remember sorry and don't know if it's even accurate)

I trink it was released about 8 or 9 years ago.

Also, does anyone know of anywhere where I could download a version to play on the PC?

Sounds a bit like Syndicate.

not sure about the game, but if you want to play it on your computer just download a nes/snes emulator then just download the roms(the games) and enjoy. all found with a bit og googling also.

There's a lot of PC versions of this type of game here to see if you can spot it, inlcuding Syndicate & Syndicate Wars which you can download.

Edited to add, to play Syndicate on the PC you'll need to run in DOS mode (WinME type)

It wasn't syndicate but it was very similar

I haven't played it for atleast 7 years so my memory is hazy but I think the guy had to download things into his brain maybe and some of the goons you hired were slightly mutant. You had to stop and speak to lots of people and a little dialogue box popped up. You could also be run over by the cars and have gang fights. Hope this helps

Thankyou Rob & Merry Christmas

Now, has time improved my memory of the game or was it actually a load of old crap?

[RobM]

Nope. It was great

Cheers guys, I'd never heard of these emulators before but now I've got one and have

- Mario Kart
- Castlevanhia
- Desert Strike
- Mortal Kombat II
- Super Mario World

all on my PC and am downloading a load more. Gone are the days of office boredom!
