GTA Vice City is a fun time, but fans of the game will remember one particular mission which gave more pain than pleasure.

The game’s “Demolition Man” mission expected players to destroy a building using a remote-control helicopter and was a complete pain in the arse – so we’re puzzled as to why someone assumed it would be a good idea to clone it as a stand-alone game.

Erik Games nonetheless took up that challenge, releasing HeliCity Demolition Man on PS4 as a digital download. Costing just two bucks, it saw you “take control of a powerful demolition helicopter as you navigate through a high-stakes urban environment.” The goal was to “strategically plant explosive charges in a towering construction site, all while facing off against new and unpredictable adversaries.”

We use the past tense here, as Take-Two has obviously taken issue with the title and had it forcibly removed from sale.

Even the trailer has been taken down, as you can see from the screenshots below.
