Both Hidden Harbors are done now for you now, you can judge for yourself just how racist this book is, and then burn it seeing as its 2020. Get it from here and here
A note on the remake. We never really got a version of Hidden Harbor in the UK, I guess its due to violence and themes. I previously attributed it in House on the Cliff to a prescription drug smuggling theme that wouldn't translate whilst overlooking the sheer amount of guns involved and shoot out at the end.
Hidden Harbor has similar themes, whilst the "racism" of the original would preclude it from being a substitute as The original Melted Coins was used, thanks to the new versions summer camp plot.
The Hardys being demolition experts in the remake and blowing up a submerged tree with dynamite, would bar it from sale here, especially as the whole IRA were in full terrorist mode in the UK at the time.
So like House on the Cliff, I've decided to anglicize it as if Armada were bringing it here back in the day. It's not the full American text, I guess its about 99% the same with a few bits and pieces changed here and there for period descriptions. It's not much an Amphibian plane is changed to sea plane, and extra l's and u's are added to words.
New Scan stuff.
Thanks to redecorating, I now have a whole bunch of stuff to scan. A few booklets and loose stuff are done and I've found some Frosties cards from a Gameboy promotion. The art is something, and it's not the whole set but I'm slowly scanning these in.
Favourites are
Hair metal Simon Belmont looking like Wolf from Gladiators.
Retarded Paperboy.
And a whole clusterfuck of bad Gauntlet 2 art.
