Heroes at Large.
By Rodentia mainly PaulEMoz mind
As summer draws to a close, we’re thankful that we’ll always have the memories of our summer holidays. But we ordinary folk aren’t the only ones that need to get away. Games characters get sick of all the abuse they take from you lot, and are happy to use the opportunity of a break, too. We met up with them at the pub recently, and as you would expect, the holiday snaps were passed around over a few pints.
Yup, you guessed it, it’s competition time again. This time, we have up for grabs a copy of Sid Meier’s rather lovely Pirates on Xbox or PC. Anyone being cheeky and asking for the C64 version will be taken outside and shot.
Can you tell which character is in which snap? Entry details on the left.

Oi! You’ll never get a tan hidden under there.

”Come to meeeeee”

14.

There used to be sharks in that bay.
15.

Brother, can you spare a dime?
16.

What are moaning about pal, just get on and ride!
17.

Even we don’t understand this one. It’s probably very clever.
And our tie break question...
Who would you go on holiday with, and why?
Answers on a postcard please to the usual address. Editors decision is final and the prize may be swapped for something of equivalent value, if we can be arsed. Yada yada yada.
