Thinking about it, even Road Rash was ported to the PS1. Does anybody know if there is much difference between it and the 3DO original? I want to play it again but don't want to buy another 3DO!

The game is also available on the Sega Saturn.

You think masks do nothing to protect us? Why? I don't trust the government's U-turn on them. At the beginning of the pandemic, the official position was that face masks were of no benefit to the general public and we went through the peak of infection (when 900 people were dying a day) under no ob...

Dust and smoke feck me up really bad, did have a thing when the first lockdown started where breathing was a major issue, if I did anything other than focus on breathing I couldn't

Sounds like you should be exempt from wearing a face mask. Your asthma seems to be more severe than mine.

As to Mask Prin you may be exempt, people with stuff or with a history of stuff that can be aggrivated like asthma etc can get an exemption and all you need to wear is a lanyard with a card when you go in a shop so staff know not to stop you for it. I also have asthma. I take medication for it but ...

... and that sounds like conspiracy theory of the worst kind

No, just a few independent thoughts on what's happening (and not happening) right in front of us.

People that dont believe it exists should be made to sign a waiver denying all treatment when they do get ill, This "Believer-Non-Believer" dynamic is one of the most worrying things about the pandemic. It effectively turns the virus into a religion which the authorities are using for coercive cont...

I don't think we'll get anywhere until we learn how to predict who will get life-threatening Covid and who won't. If we can figure out the genetic pattern that makes a 25 year old with no pre-existing conditions get full-blown pneumonia and die and a 65 year old with type 2 diabetes, asthma, obesity...

This morning I ran into someone who put his hand out and I was forced into an awkward choice between committing a social faux pas or doing something that puts me at needless risk of catching CV. I went with the latter option because I'm not in the habit of refusing handshakes and washed my hands tho...

Loved the original Football Manager back in the day, funny looking back at it as its soooo slow the way it did the results or league table. Me and my dad got addicted to it, even took the Speccy on a holiday to Cornwall to play it some of the evenings. Great times The BBC Micro version runs a lot f...

Currently playing Premier Manager 2 on the Amiga. I don't like the game interface in PM3 and PM2 has a tougher game engine compared to the first game so this one is my pick of the bunch. This isn't a fashionable opinion but I think at this stage PM offers a more realistic experience than the Champio...

I love Q-Bert and the Gameboy version is awesome - I find its a real "flow" game. Once you get it, it feels great - but doesn't until you do. I find it takes me a few games now to get back into the flow - but then all is good! The Amiga has a very good shareware port called Q-Bic: https://www.youtu...

Lemmings on anything bar the Amiga. The hardware mouse cursor controller made it flow real nice on the A500. PC version was pants. Strongly disagree with that. I was very happy with the Mega Drive version while growing up. People make a fuss about not being able to play Lemmings on any system witho...

It's a relatively complex game that you can't just pick up and play. Reading the manual is necessary if you want to know how play the game, in particular little things like how to get out of a pit are explained within, as well as what you have to do actually complete it. Once you know how to play i...

On the other hand, the Champsionship Manager series - which later morphed into the modern Football Manager - is impressive for the sheer depth even if it plays a bit like a spreadsheet at times. Actual clubs used its database for scouting purposes and I'm pretty sure that at least one real world ma...
