Genuine question, I've never heard the term before.

You really do -not- want to know. Seriously. It'll scar you for life just having someone describe it.

Careful of the Asus Aspire One though. It has the absolute WORST WAY to upgrade RAM in the history of anything ever. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: (I took 45mins to do mine and still almost fucked it.) You sir... are a lucky goit if yours is still working. My attempt to upgrade the RAM ended w...

Ugh, why is Mobile Light Force 1 actually Gunbird and Mobile Light Force 2 is actually Shikigami no Shiro. That makes no sense. Because for some bizarre reason (selling the games to a western audience, anyone?), XS Games, which published them both over here, saw fit to retitle the game, tear out al...

Perfect Dark (XBLA)
Taito Legends (PS2)
aaaaaaaaand... Micro Machines V3 (PC) - though both Win7 and XP don't like it.

I swear all of Gamestation Peterlee's decent staff buggered off to that Grainger store, because the GS store rapidly worsened as soon as it opened. <_<

Also wish the main campaign had been a bit longer, if you just stick to the main missions then it's over before it starts :( I made that same mistake too, so trying to 100% everything became more of a grind than anything. And then I found the solo that summons a burning Zeppelin. That really would ...

It's a toss-up between Tempest and S.T.U.N. Runner for me.

...

Actually, I'll go for S.T.U.N. Runner, considering I actually got to play the cab, as opposed to Tempest, which I've only played in Atari compilations.

1985, again from wikipedia, not that I trust it: Notable releases Brøderbund releases Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? , the first game of the prolific Carmen Sandiego series Nintendo releases Super Mario Bros. on September 13, 1985. Before the year was over Super Mario Bros. became the highes...

Rush Rush Rally Racing. Finishing this with just the 3 credits it gives me is going to take more a few tries. And that's just on Easy.

About the Cybernator PAL boxart: That red angular explosion thingy isn't actually part of the box. It looks like just a sticker that's been slapped on it (note how it's obscuring the blurb on the side) or something that's been added with an image editor for reasons unknown. Without knowing the image...

Psybadek for the PS1.

Had I went further north than Sunderland, I probably would have done better.

Opa-Opa made one of these didn't he. Sure I saw a pic of it on here a few weeks/months ago. He did, you're right, he posted it very recently, I think in one of the threads about recycling console cases for PCs etc. Or maybe it was in a home build stick thread, I forget exactly. http://retrogamer.ne...

how much would you pay? I'd say £10 at the most, and even then that's pushing the seller's luck as far as I'm concerned. Neat idea, but I have to agree that the photos make it look pretty grotty if it isn't already so. And the button layout... uh. :? [EDIT] And it needs more suitable hands. The one...

It's a latin word that means "thus", "so", "as such", or "in such a manner", but is often used today to highlight a probable spelling or grammar error. Of sorts yes... it's to point out that an inaccurate word/phrase was published as shown by an external source when being quoted, instead of making ...
