Slasher Hawk, who appears in Ghost Babel, is an Australian with aboriginal roots, who wields a boomerang-type weapon and is accompanied by a pet hawk named Bunjil, a name taken from Australian folklore. This even led to the introduction of a new character. The game has enjoyed worldwide appeal, but nowhere more so than in Australia. Initially released on the MSX2, Nintendo Entertainment System and Commodore 64, sequels soon appeared for Super Nintendo PlayStation and X-box, and it has become one of the most enduring action adventure franchises of them all. The stealth video game was a pioneer of the genre, and became an instant hit. 36 years have gone by since Metal Gear was released on an unsuspecting world.
