I'm back again!

Where to start? First: I have found an interesting site called "Snake Plissken vs Solid Snake" created by Gayle Boswicz. I found lot's of cool drawings and a fan fiction story called (yes you guessed it) "Snake Plissken vs Solid Snake" etc. It's very nice to see new Snake pages out there so please give it a visit. I emailed her to ask if I could put up her drawings and she said yes so go ahead and have a peak. She also told me that she is working on a comic book about Snake vs Solid Snake. Something to look forward to.  

Second: Derek who created the cool Escape From New York AD-Aware Skin sended me an unseen concept poster picture of Escape From New York. Be sure to check it out here.

Third: I've added two pictures of me as Snake in the introduction page. Some people have said I resemble Kurt Russell, you'll be the judge. It would be fun if more would do it and send pictures to me.

20/05 - 05:
And faster!

I've added my EFLA screenshots! I'm waiting for some more but why wait? I have also written a new introduction if you're interested, I felt it was neccessary after all the changes. It feels very good to finally have everything up. It sure was a lot of work but it was worth it. I hope you feel it too.

17/05 - 05:
Things happens fast!

That's right, most of my EFLA stuff is allready up. I've been working 2 whole days on this and more will follow. For instance the EFLA screens isn't up yet. I'm waiting to recieve some from Stefan Bommelin (author of Assault on Webpage 13) but he has no internet for the moment. Anyway, browse around and enjoy yourself amigos.

13/05 - 05:
I'M BACK!!!

I know it't been a while since I last updated this page but there was some annoying computer problems and I lost interest etc. But now I'm back and I have no plans on leaving you. By the way the design and logo is brand new as you may have noticed. I felt it was too hard to keep optimizing this site for two screen sizes and to keep track of all the htm files so I decided to work on one page that could work in both sizes. I hope you enjoy it and please send me your thoughts about it.    I have also seriously began working on adding EFLA to this page!!! (see logo) There isn't anything yet but you better keep your eyes on this site because things will happen.

Also a guy called Derek emailed me a long time ago about a cool Escape From New York AD-Aware Skin he'd made. Better late then never Derek. Check it out in the "Multimedia - Skins/Sounds" section. There is also a lot of new screenshots, snake art and some new wannabees pics etc.

Swedish EFNY DVD Release. Updated Music/Sounds Page. Pics.



Swedish EFNY DVD:
EFNY comes to DVD here in Sweden 13/10. The sad thing is that it doesn't feature the stuff from the U.S. SE version but unlike the other countries releases it will feature a documantary called "Snake Plissken - Man of Honour". I have no clue what this is but it sure sounds interesting. It will also feature a teaser and a regular trailer. PS: This DVD has already been released in Denmark for those who can't wait.

Updated Music/Sounds Page:
The sad thing about linking to other sites is that many becomes deactivated. But most of them is found again and Brian Bennetts emailed me the new location for his great EFNY track. Another sad thing is that I can't seem to add the Future Mix track. I thought I could do that after having upgraded and everything but noo.

Pics:
I also have a lot of new pics for you. Writing them all down like I use to takes me forever so I just recommend you to browse around in the picture sections and find them yourself. Otherwise you may loose interest in these sections.

14/06 - 04:
Joe Thornton exhibition. Etc.

My friend and contributer Joe Thornton was very kind and sended me more of his Snake drawings. Therefor I have arranged an exhibition in his name. This is the Joe Thornton exhibition:



If someone is wondering about drawing number 13 the answer is: Joe just wanted to see how a female version of Snake would look like.

More new pics:

I've added around ten new screenshots and more info about the EFNY C64 game. Enjoy.

14/05 - 04:
I'm back! And I have a surprise for you!

Always when I reach my space limit in a sits I loose interest in it. This is why I choosed to make an upgrade. That meens paying for your site. In return I get many new cool things such as 65 more mb's, an own domain name and no pop-up's or adds at all! This meens that an EFLA site could appear here in the future sometime. I hope you all enjoy this and does your best to support me.

Ok, so what's more? Well, there are several new pics and changes here and there. I recommend you to go to following pages to seek them out: Items - DVD", here you can find more pics and a newly added interview with the producer of the EFNY SE DVD etc. Also browse around in the
"Multimedia", "Multimedia - Memorabilia/Collectibles" and "Items - Action Figures" sections and discover new things.

Also, my good american friend Joe Thornton who was very kind to send me the EFNY novel also sended me some neat Snake drawings by him. I recieved three but he has done a lot more. Maybe we'll see some more of those in the future. How about it Joe? Anyway, enjoy:

April Foolsday News:

Escape From Earth isn't in pre-production and Patrick Swayze isn't going to be Snake. This was just an April fool joke from Matt and Alize from SnakePlissken.Net and I bought it dead serious. Nothing surprises me when it comes to Hollywood these days but I'm real happy it only was a joke. I'm easily fooled so if you find this amusing I won't mind you laughing your butts off.

05/04 - 04:
Escape From Earth!

While visiting SnakePlissken.Net I found this worrying news:
Producer Debra Hill and Director John Carpenter today announced the third installment to the cult-classic Escape series, Escape from Earth. After the success of the Snake Plissken Chronicles comics and a video game and anime in the pipeline, Debra and John found it to be a perfect time to bring Snake back to the bigscreen. One of the biggest changes to the series will see the leading role of anti-hero Snake Plissken go to film veteran Patrick Swayze.

Swayze was quoted as saying "I haven't actually seen the first two movies so I think I will be able to bring new life to this Snake Plissken character.

Principal photography is rumored to be scheduled to start this Fall.

Developing...

My comment:
First: Why Patrick Swayze? He's only one year younger than Kurt? Second: Where have these news been found? Third: This doesn't sound good at all.

02/03 - 04:
Nothing much but...

the comic book section in the "Items - Comics" area has been updated. The release date for issue 4 is still not confirmed but according to the diamond shipping list it will be out March 3rd.

Some new pics:

Lots of updates.

While browsing around in the great SnakePlissken.Net I found something I've searched a long time for namely The Snake Plissken Timeline
By Sylvia "Swan" Stevens that vanished from the internet some years ago. It's a great timeline compiled from various sources and it has also been updated! You can find the link in the "Press" section. I've also added another text by Sylvia "Swan" Stevens called "Top Ten Snake Myths" on the "Press - Misc" section. And believe me or not there's more from her. She has also written two fan fiction stories with Karen Winter. The first one is called "The Fire Next Time" and the second one: "Threshold". Check them out in the "Press - Fan Fiction" section. I discovered all this in the excellent Message Board at SnakePlissken.Net. Thank you Matt, Alize and Sylvia. You're doing a great job.

And here's some new pics:

EFNY Novel Page, new item page etc.

The EFNY Novel Page have been updated and there is a new page for the French EFNY SE DVD. I added it because it got some interesting stuff and so that you can compare it to the other ones. There's also pictures (some very nice on the set photos) and reviews (in French unfortunately) and other suff on this page so please take the liberty to explore this DVD on English for the very first time! There's also some more info on the other DVD pages.
  And here comes some sad news: I'm almost out of webspace! I hate this! I'll have to go easy on the pics for a while and try to solve this problem somehow. There's also some new screenshoots.

Also:

26/12 - 03:
Misc.

Kim August (author of I Know I'm Human) tells us that EFNY is going to be shown at the
Walter Reade Theater in NYC this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Click here for more info.
  Also, Acclaimed artist Drew Struzan will provide the cover illustration for the collected first four issues of the Snake Plissken comic.

I've also fixed some small annoying errors on the site and some other small things. Don't be afraid to report errors if you find one, I'd love to have them fixed.


25/12 - 03:
The EFNY Novel Page etc.

The EFNY Novel page is up but there's still much to add. My good friend Joe Thornton are keeping me posted and I will comtinue to add info. There's lot of interesting info here, writer Mike McQauy tells us his version of what happened in Leningrad, How Snake lost his eye, What brought so many criminals etc. I still haven't read the book but it sound really interesting, it gives us a little deeper look at the Snake universe. Hope you'll enjoy this new page. Go to the "Press" section to check it out.
  Also, all the text oriented pages have been modified to fit the page better as you may have seen. This took some time so I hope you'll appreciate my effort.

Also - Merry Christmas to you all!

21/12 - 03:
Back again, again.

I've added some new pics and two new pages on the "Multimedia - Memorabilia/Collectibles" section.

Here are the pics:
Japanese EFNY CD
The EFNY Script
Leather Bound Script for Isaac Hayes: 1. 2. 3. 4. (I don't know if this is a common thing to do but this seems is a goodbye present to Isaac Hayes. It's also signed by Larry J. Franco, Debra Hill and John Carpenter.)
An EP with Escape From New York written on. Music by Lick.
Kurt and John On the Set
.

There's also eight new photos on my new "Photos" page located in the "Multimedia - Memorabilia/Collectibles" section. The other new page is called "Script". It feature the Isaac Hays script and a regular one and a signed one.

Also, I have begun working on the Novel Page featuring many interesting facts so come back soon.

21/12 - 03:
Back again.

The official Snake Plissken videogame site is up! But you can only registrate yourself to a forum at the moment, I hope it grows larger in the future. The game is going to be called "Snake Plissken's Escape" and it looks like it's gonna be a real cool game but it will take more than a year until it will be released so don't be in a hurry. I don't mind waiting, just the knowledge of a Snake Plissken videogame coming out is enough.

19/12 - 03:
The second installment of the day.

I couldn't help myself. I've added reviews for the two region 1 EFNY DVDs and the expanded soundtrack. They all have five each and I while doing this I couldn't help stealing a couple of their screenshots. Look them up in the "Multimedia - Screenshots" page.
  Also, check out the EFNY SE DVD page in the "Items - DVD" page to see some new screenshots from the "Return to Escape From New York" featurette on the DVD plus some more. They were found at "Horrordvds.com"
  Also, here's the official website for the DVD.

19/12 - 03:
New Snake Fact Page and a lot of various stuff.

I'm sorry I didn't do anything special on the EFNY release date, I couldn't come up with anything cool and I have working on the page. It has arrived folks, the DVD of the year, millenium is here in a 2 disc Special Edition version it truly deserves. BUY IT NOW!

I also want to say that I have a new Snake Fact page located in the "press" section. I had thought about having one before but somehow it didn't got made. It wasn't until recieved an email from my new friend Joe Thornton from USA I decided to make one. I asked him if he had any suggestions and he told me he liked the site just as it is but would love to see some kind of Snake info page. He also sended me a bunch of interesting facts from the EFNY novel. I'm thinking about using them in some kind of EFNY novel page. We'll see. I hope you'll enjoy theSnake Fact page, it's nothing spectacular but I think it got the most important stuff.

Also, the "press - info" page have been updated, I found a page called EOFFTC (The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Film and Television) with some interesting info. I have also added some more things myself and updated it. But there's more, the whole "press" section has new suitable pictures and the articles from the Official John Carpenter Page on the "article" page has been added much properly. There is also a new fan fiction story called "Escape From Indianapolis" on the "Fan Fiction" page. It's a short one but interesting and it works as a prequal to EFLA. Check it out!

There's also a new interview with William O'Neill on the "News - Snake Plissken Chronicles" section and I've added the cover artists name in the "Items - Comics" page. 

There's also three new screenshots added and here's a miniature building used in EFNY.

Enjoy!

Proud owner of the EFNY SE DVD! Fan Fiction.



It's true! Don't be jealous, you're time will come. I manage to get hold of it through connection with a local DVD store right here in Sweden. It's almost everything you've hoped for, I thought there was some things missing but to finally see the deleted scene is worth the price alone. And I sure wasn't let down, it's everything you've hoped for and even more, a really fantastic scene (along with a newly recorded score and a commentary track). It's soo wonderful to have finally seen it and soon you will too. The rest is gold too and the DVD kase is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, I can't take my eyes of it. I don't want to spoil anything more for you, there is a lot I want to talk about the DVD but I don't want to give away everything and spoil the experience for you. A must own DVD. I am drooling.

Also, I took a look at my old escape archive earlier this day and found two new fan fiction stories.  They're both pretty short but very nice. The first is called "Plissken and Hellman: A Minor Episode" and is written by Kirk Howard Hazen the same great guy who gave us the fantastic "Kansas City, Four Years Ago" The other one is called "Pipeline's most Bitchin' Encounter" and is written by someone called Kyla. I remember downloading them from the old The Films of John Carpenter site (been down for a while) What is going on Patrick Kerr?

The stories can be found in the press section.

Take care.
- Andreas.

Back allready. EFNY SE DVD section!

I have finally added a section for the EFNY SE DVD on the "Items" section. You can get a peak at the special features menu, read all about the DVD and check out some other related pics. Enjoy.

There's aslo five new screenshots in the "Multimedia - Screenshots" section. Can you find them?

09/12 - 03:
Ebay items, pics etc.

I recieved a mail from a guy called The Rai regarding EFNY items on ebay recently. I had seen them allready but I wouldn't dream of buying them cause they're very expensive. He sell two matte paintings done by director James Cameron (Fun fact: James Cameron was the matte artist and special effects director of photography for Escape From New York if you didn't know) Have a look and compare his drawing and the final result:

  Another one can be found in the new section "Matte Paintings" in the "Multimedia" section.

He also sell an acedemy add and a miniature set (used in the movie). Cool stuff but way too expansive.

Also, here's another version of the original EFNY poster. (The yellow rating add is the only thing that is different from the original one).

Also, The Kurt Russell Scrapbook is operating again, this time with a sweet surprise. They have added an Escape section called "Snake Escapades". Some of the sections is still not operational but I get so happy seeing more Snake related sites and stuff growing on the internet. Thank you very much.

Snake Plissken Chronicles, EFNY SE DVD reviews and pics.

Snake Plissken is cousing controversy in issue #3 where he gets to re-enact the Kennedy shootings on the anniversary of his death. Read what Hurricane has to say about this in their latest press release and see some pics from the magazine in The John Carpenter Website.

And some lucky bastards have been fortunate to review the EFNY SE DVD.

Me and my Snake Plissken stand-up. Plus more.



While browsing around Ebay one day I found a stand-up figure of Snake Plissken. I didn't hesitage a second and bought it on the spot, opportunities like this doesn't show up every day. He seems to enjoy it here, he listens to ABBA, drives a Volvo, loves swedish meatballs and enjoys watching Ingmar Bergman films with me.
  Anyway here's me posing with Snake:

Note: The last picture is a Swedish intern joke.

And here's the rest:
I've added two new sections, one in the "Multimedia -
Memoribilia/Collectibles" section called "clothes" and another one is for a new Snake Plissken kit figure on the "Items - Action Figures" section. Check it out.

And here's some pics:

Pics and some more.

First, here's a magazine called Video Store Magazine with an exclusive cover from the upcoming EFNY SE DVD. And here's an add for the upcoming DVD, and here's a tattoo they use to promote the upcoming DVD.

It's very nice to see EFNY beeing treated this way but I guess it's a way to introduce Snake to a new generation.I hope Snake gets the attention he deserves and I hope you'll do your best to support him.

There's also a bunch of pics but I feel a bit lazy today to write them all down so I recommend you to visit the following pages: autographs, tribute pics, lps, magazines, VHS and action figures.

Hi there. I have collected info about the EFNY Boardgame, EFNY Collector's Edition LD, EFNY Director's Cut VHS, EFNY Novel and The Adventures of Snake Plissken comic book. This info can be found on the "multimedia - Collectibles/Memorabilia" section for all you interested.

Hope you'll find it useful. Thank me by signing my guestbook.

24/07 - 03:
Nobody is signing my guestbook!

I've been working over five years with this site so some nice words wouldn't be so bad. I'm not forcing you but I would be very happy.

Also, what do you think about the new Snakepic on the left? It's almost the same as the other one but I wanted to fill out the blanks. Do you think I should keep it?

Also, three new pics:
Snake Tattoos
Japanese EFNY Poster
Glider Vision

19/07 - 03:
And more bigger.

I've added a new section called "Music/Sounds" section on the "Multimedia" section. It got some cool remixes but they're linked to other sites because my free webhost service doesn't support mp3. I've also added one link to "AOW13" EFNY sound page and another to "TheOfficialJohnCarpenter" if you want to have some cool sounds from the movie. I don't want to be a bad boy and steal everyone.

Anyway, enjoy.

18/07 - 03:
The EFNY Page grows a little bigger!

There was some things I always had in mind to add. There is a new section in the "Multimedia" section called "Tribute Pics" It only have four pics but I thought it would be nice to have pics that one way or another was inspired by EFNY. There is also three new sections in the "Press" section called "Info", "Movie Facts/Bloopers" and "Misc Quotes" The info in these are taken mostly from IMDb etc. I personally don't like people that are dissecting a movie to find bloopers but I thought - what the heck.

Here's
a new wallpaper by Elekro.

Enjoy.

16/07 - 03:
EFNY French SE DVD!

No piece and quiet. The New Kurt Russell Page reports a new EFNY SE DVD! Here it is:



Why are they teasing me, shell I get this one or wait for the other or buy both? It features a commentary track by John Carpenter, a documantary, a featurette, an interview with John Carpenter, scene analyses, a photo gallery, story-boards, teasers etc The notorious Train/Bank Robbing scene doesn't seem to include but I am really starting to drool. For more info click here.

Sweet irony.

16/07 - 03:
Finally back.

The computer broke down again and I was so happy. I'll tell ya folks, for a minute or so I was notisfied that all content had been erased. Not a pleasent moment. Fortunately it was a missunderstanding. Anyway, this led to a new harddrive so this wont happen again, I hope.

First I want to send a message to a buddy called Don who sent me a very nice Snake Plissken Timeline (which I lost from my unorganized e-mail account). "Please send it to me again Don".

I discovered a new Snake Plissken site yesterday and I was very thrilled to see it, the more Plissken/EFNY/J.C. sites the better. The site is called "SnakePlissken.Net" and is created by Matt Housten and Alize. The page is not really finished but Matt promise to keep adding stuff so this is a site to keep your eyes on in the future. Check it out!



What about the comic book?
I have finally added a comic book section on the "Items" section. I will constantly follow and add the releases here etc. I have also updated the "News - Snake Plissken Chronicles" section with some more news. Enjoy.

More anime news has showed up so I felt it was time to reorganize these individual pages on the news section. I saw that The John Carpenter Website had done this and I felt it was a good idea. The only real difference between his and mine is that I only focus on facts. All of these sections have been updated with the latest news. Why don't you have a look.
  And now comes some sad news The Un-official Snake Plissken Page is down, creator Brendan Payne says he didn't update it often and didn't wanted to bother with it anymore. Very, very sad, first The Snake Plissken Page and now The Un-official Snake Plissken Page. What's going on? We need more Snake Plissken sites not less.
  And now the pics:

Screenshots: (These great screenshots were lost when the computer broke down for over two weeks, I found them again but it sure wasn't easy so be grateful. All the screens are in remeniscence of the World Trade Center in films, in this case Escape From New York). More WTC movie pics etc can be found here.

I've also found the whole Spanish Lobby Card set including a very interesting one. I have reason to believe that this one is taken from the deleted "Bank robbery/Train" scene. Have a look. You can check out the other ones in the Multimedia - Memoribilia/Collectibles - Lobby Cards section. Enjoy.
  Oh, and here is a signed EFNY Video poster.

But there is more, I've also added a new section for wallpapers. Check out the multimedia section.

EFNY remixes and some pics.



A guy called John T. Chance have done some techno remixes of the EFNY soundtrack. These tracks are named "Snake Plissken Mix" and "Duke Mix", sounds cool huh... it is not. I don't like techno, I love synth but I really dislike techno. But that's me. You may like it. Click on the banner above to find out.

Some pics.

Feels good to be back and have some web space again cause I like to keep adding pictures and stuff. I hope I never will run out of space again.

And the pics:

Italian Lobby Card Set (The whole set)
Starlog Magazine (With a neat cover of Swedish actor Max Von Sydow as Ming in Flash Gordon from 1980. P.S. You can read this article on EFNY on my "Press - Escape From New York" section.

Andreas Johansson's Escape From Freewebs.

Just when things was starting to go my way my ex webhost told me that I could only have 50 files on my site. Isn't this a bummer, having uploaded over 1500 files one by one without beeing notisfied. I've had a similar experience and I wasn't too keen on doing it again, having spend over five years now and then making this site. I deserve to have it online.
  The only negative about my new host is that it contains pop-up banners (why my other webhost is add free is a mystery) but I prefer having pop-up's than having a big banner glued on the site. Otherwise I have no complaints. Finding a good free webhost that suits you is very, very rare - trust me I know.
  But let us all forget about this and move on, hopefully I'll stay here for a while maybe not, this is something I cannot control so stop worry and be grateful for every minute it's online.

Hurricane Entertainment interview and some pics.

It's about time an interview showed up about the upcoming "Snake Plissken Chronicles". I found this  interview at "Fanboy Planet.com" beeing the third part of an interview with Bill O'Neil and Tone Rodrigues.  
  This interview took place in september so it's a bit old but it's interesting to hear their thoughts about the project. Click here to read it.

And the pics:

And finally: Happy New Year!

Snake Plissken "Unreal" and "Alien Versus Predator" Voice.

There seems to be more than skins out there, such as sounds, such as Snake Plissken sounds. This is almost cooler than skins, you become more interacative in som way. I have never played with skins or voices but it seems like fun, especially when you're Snake. So enjoy.
  You can download both these files on the renamed section "Skins/Voices".

A new Snake skin and some pics.

You can now play the excellent game "Half-Life" as Snake Plissken. Nice huh? I downloaded this skin on a site called "Haven o' Frags" if you're interested to visit it. Not only can you be Snake, you also look good too, check it out:

Snake wearing his EFLA outfit.

Check out my "Skins" section for more info.

And finally two new pics:

More stuff.

Another section has been added called "Misc" on the "Multimedia - Memoribilia/Collectibles" section. This section only include two pics but I felt it was needed cause there's a lot of strange things out there. So you want proof, then check this pics out:

EFNY Lighter (Cool but kind of ridiculous)
Snake Plissken Snow Globes (So strange it's hilarious)

So you want new pics with more sense, then check this ones out:

EFNY Embassy Laserdisc
The Adventures of Snake Plissken snipet (From the only Snake Plissken comic book released by Marvel Comics)
Future Life Magazine (Containing an article on EFNY)
Season Hubley, John Carpenter and Kurt Russell rehearsing (On the set)

I've also added the link to the Escape From the Past Petition on the "EFNY/EFLA Link" section . (I know this is old news and that the "Escape" TV series never went of, but I agree with Stefan Bommelin (Author of Assault on Webpage 13 and this petition) and Mohammad Kahn (Author of The "Carpenticized" Side of the Web and this petition) that Snake Plissken Should Not Die with Kurt Russell. (You can read an article called  "Snake Plissken Should Not Die with Kurt Russell" on this petition page or on Mohammads site or in my "Press - Misc" section.
   These dudes suggested Roy Dupuis as Snake Plissken, an actor I first didn't think would fit but later had a second thought. What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions? Send me an e-mail and maybe I'll have my very little own petition, for fun that is.

The site grows bigger.

Hello there. I hope you all is recovered from the DVD news. If not, maybe this will help you a little: There is two new EFNY Desktop Themes to be found in the Desktop Themes section, there is also a new section called "Screensavers" containing a Snake Plissken Screensaver (I haven't checked this out yet so I don't have any comments.), I've also finished the "Snake Skins" section (some of the skins located in this section is not available or more accurate hard to find for me again) and I added the EFNY script on the "Press" section (Unfortunately this isn't the uncut script. If you know where to find this script don't be afraid to send me an
e-mail.

Here is something strange I found. This is a something called "Escape From Quake" It's a Quake mod dedicated to Escape From L.A. But I don't think you'll ever play it, this site was last updated 1997 and there's also a broken link on this site. But there are some cool screenshots for you to view.   

Over and out.

EFNY DVD Delayed! And some new pics.

"Sadly, we've been told by sources that a decision has been made to push back the release of MGM's Escape From New York: Special Edition until December of 2003, rather than January as had been reported by director John Carpenter recently." - Mark Hammon (Digital Bits)
  This really sucks, I was really looking forward to lay my hands around it in January and now I have to wait another 12 months. What a cruel world.

Here's the damn pics:

New Carpenter site and some new pics.

I found an Italian Carpenter site called "JohnCarpenter.it" earlier today and I thought you'd be interested to check it out. It got a great layout but it lacks a bit in contents. See you later.

Also, Two new Snake wannabees can be seen here:
Adam Spragg as Snake Plissken
Yasha Cunningham as "Slug" Plisken (In a one minute movie called: "Escape From Seattle")

Also, three new screenshots:

EFNY C64 and Pinball Game!!!



Is anyone familiar with a Commodore 64 game of EFNY? I had a Commodore 64 when I was younger but I can't recall any EFNY game, this was before seeing the movie though. Anyway, this game is now adapted to suit todays computers but you'll need a Commodore 64 Emulator to play the game. All necessary info and links can be found on my new section "Multimedia - Games"
  The game is pretty bad and silly but hey you're playing Snake, by the way I had some problems finding the control settings, hope it works better for you. Enjoy.
  I also found a home made EFNY pinball game for you. You can't download this game here (my webhost doesn't allow files over 1 MB) but it's linked so don't worry. As mentioned, all necessary info and links can be found on my new section "Multimedia - Games". This game is not a masterpiece, it looks fast made but it's fun to play and it has cool sounds and lines from the movie. Enjoy.

Some new images:
Introduction graphic
Maggie & Cabbie b/w
EFNY insert poster

J.C. Interview & Pictures.

A new interview with John Carpenter about the upcoming Snake items and more can be found on Fangoria's official site here. In the interview he tells us about that he'll be involved in the storyline of "Snake Plissken Chronicles" and more. Maybe we finally are going to be told about The Battles of Cleveland and Leningrad, the experience of New Las Vegas and how Snake lost his eye. I sure hope so.
  Three new pictures are also added:
Snake & Bob Hauk in Station 19
A German LP Cover
A Swedish insert poster!
