Ever wondered what Borderlands would have been like back in the 16-bit era? No, well Gearbox Software has decided to show us anyway.
Borderlands wasn’t always the slick, handsome bastard of a game it is today! Go old skool and play the 1989 16-bit original to see how it all began. I can’t believe how young I look!” said popular robot Claptrap.
The marketing swirl surrounding Borderlands 2 is getting larger by the day, so long as it’s all as awesome as this, we don’t mind one bit.

Fantastic pre-release strategy from 2K so far.
Also, big welcome to Tarak, who is in the process of getting up to speed and joining the TSA team!

Is it Morbo from Futurama?

Well done to that man/woman. Love Morbo.

These extras are really good, much like the Hitman Sniper Challenge….it’s always nice to get a piece of something early, or a little extra!
Welcome Tarak, thought I saw you write something the other day too! :)

Been playing this during my dinner at work at it works really well. Gets difficult fast though (or maybe I’m just rubbish)

that’s cool.
i got 21,528 on my first go.
is that good or bad.
i probably could have got more but i lost a couple of lives after getting terrible weapons, the machine gun that fires in seemingly random directions and the rail gun that did the same, the rail gun was next to useless given the slow rate of fire and random aiming.
i guess that’s part of the challenge though.
certainly a better way of getting people talking about your game than sending out some screenshots, though quite a bit more work i suspect.

Just beat me – I got 21,117. Nice little game!

How can this be more fun than most games I’ve played in the past 6 months?
