I plan on getting to SILPHEED as well, eventually. Right now, making my way through MANHUNTER: NEW YORK... and now remembering how much I hated the sewer maze....
I remember playing MH:NY when it came out... And enjoying it. I still enjoy it, but man - there's SO MANY things in this game that are SET to make you fail. Like going inside the museum and using the cards. The sewers. The guys in the alley next to the club. Central Park and the bombs.
