Wow, so many kinds of nostalgia…
Old Hob created Mutant Town – much against the will of its residents. Separated its citizens from their families, possibly for the rest of their lives, and policed all who fell beneath his purview, and after a rally turn riot, the old feline fascist has finally been taken down. The question now is: what next?…
