...recall the most seductive parts of the disco decade, but it does offer a great laugh or two. With the gas crisis still raging, bands of vigilantes (who look suspiciously like the waiting line at Studio 54) are blasting their way around the Southwest. Your mission: to join the pack and stop a rival gang of terrorists. All good fun, but why load up PCs, those most '90s of devices, with this tribute to the '70s? "The future," explains developer Zack Norman, "is boring." Maybe, but we can at least hope it doesn't include neon-orange corduroy vests...

Much to the chagrin of Mr. Dole and Clinton-bashers everywhere, This Town ridicules the famous "-gates" of newspaper headlines and Letterman monologues (Travelgate, Filegate, even Nanny-gate).
