Hi

For the few people who emailed us about this , easier to reply here - we had no choice but to cancel the launch of the phone game Office Massacre the day it was going to go live , massive press reaction and pressure forced us to take this action.

Full details with links to articles on most major game press sites can be found via our forum area here -

Wusses.

If you'd actually launched the thing you'd have probably made a mint. This is exactly the sort of press that GTA had generated for it and look where that went...

If you dont mind covering us for the potential million dollar + law suits like which are pending now for the GTA people we will change our minds :rolleyes: !!

All is not lost anyway....

Hmm... April 1st?

(although I realise some of those articles are from the day before)

What a load of bollox!

So, a game of what looks like Westbank with blood is canned due to some hypocritical twats! :angry:

Maybe you should re-model the characters and make them cowboys - and re-name the game to Wild West Masacre :lol:

That whole story just stinks :angry: :angry:

Hope you can find a solution..

I was thinking it looked more Operation Wolf than anything else. Doesn't even need a rewrite tbh, just a name change. Amend the story so that instead of colleagues its evil scumbags/aliens/paedos that you're shooting and all is well.

Yeah - I see the op wolf looks, but its in a bank - and it looks like the guys come out of doors...........


Westbank :P

I have a plan , a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a fox Baldrick !

More to follow as they say...!

Well not that cunning really - but announced here !

I think you are being very offensive to Zombies :angry:

Should a zombie enter someones office from now on, a gun totting hero will pounce and shoot the poor bugger :(


Zombies should be given the same right to life - err life after death as the rest of us :blink:


You should withdraw this disgusting attack on zombie folk with immediate effect.

If you fail to do this, I will report you to the R.S.P.C.Z..........

You have been warned...........
















:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice one !! :o)

Shooting zombies isn't much fun though. Will there be a hidden unlock code to access the proper red blood and graphics etc, like with Carmageddon?

Its gained you some press, but the immediate climb down on release and name change will confuse things. The increase in sales you'd have got will be diminished by the name change and zombie killing won't have the same illicit lure to it. The game has gained and lost a reputation within a matter of days.

Office Massacre would have been better. It just needed some story tweaks to redefine the who's and why's.

Incidentally, you needn't pay too much heed to me - I wouldn't have bought it anyway...

Well it does seem to have turned up a hornets nest!!
How can you tell what a third persons thoughts
perceptions are?no I dont know either.I do know
that there is a lot of death,murder,begetting in the
Bible!!(no offence intended).Influential/obscene etc,
Now the A team,that was offensive,one episode
they all let loose with automatic weapons,no windows
broken,nobody dies no wounds what impression does
that give?hmm funny old world.cheers peter.

You're evidently an 8-bit owner, probably a Spectrum or C64 one.

West Bank is an 8-bit knock off, programmed with intent to be an official licence but not quite getting there...

The real thing is Bank Panic by Sega. I have the PCB B)

OK then........



Bank Panic then :rolleyes:


(Still looks like westbank) :P

((and bank panic)) :huh:

and maybe a little like Op wolf......

But mainly WESTBANK :D :D :D :D :D
