    The game that wouldn't die

    RE: Game that wouldn't die As a member of the F4 community I read this story with great interest and the author does have SOME of the story right- but not all. To give Hasbro credit, they did support F4 alot longer than many games out there. It went through 7 different patches before Hasbro...
