Hi Phil
Personally i'm afraid i disagree. Monkey killing in context of games is a
tradition that goes back to donkey kong on the nes.
Mega man 2 had robotic monkies, Micky Mouse' castle of illusion on the Mega
drive had evil monkies, general evilness of monkies is pretty well
established in games.
Actually in Tarzan junior the sfx used for the monkies I thought were
particularly nasty, sinse they didn't sound cute, but as if they were about
to kill you, ---- which they would do in a most unpleasant manner if you
didn't get rid of them first.
I'm afraid to people who object to thing x happening in a game, my reply
is, ---- it's just a game!
while politically I'm pretty opposed to war generally speaking, stick me
behind the controls of a tank or a gun in a game like judgement day or Tank
commander and I'll gladly turn into a psycho killing machine, mowing down as
many enemies as I can!
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Philip,
Many people would object to the killing of monkeys in a game.
That is unless they could attack and harm you.
The same would apply to dogs and cats.
That is why in Monkey business, you can only net them and in Shades of
doom the dogs are mutant and will attack you.
If you want monkeys in the game you could say they were carrying a disease
like rabies.Phil
