I guess I'll hang my head in shame.  I don't recall that.  I must never have played it.

Kingpin: Life of Crime, developed by Xatrix and published by Interplay for the PC in (I think) 1999.  It used a modified Quake 2 engine and on top of being generally fun and awesome had the most foul language you've ever heard.  It also had the absolutely brilliant writing that made the previously posted exchange possible.

Highly recommended.

I never played Kingpin, but I have heard of it.  Interesting.

I always wanted to play it, but never got around to it. I doubt that I could find it around here anymore. I may have to acquire it.

I remember hearing a lot about this game... I never did get a chance to play it.

Should I have put the word in quotation marks? :)

Actually I may just buy it. It's not that much and I will feel better about it.

And what remains of the once-glorious Interplay needs your help.

Yeah, it's $6.  There is no excuse to steal something that is $6.

Right. But anything over $20 is fair game.
