Digi fans should head over to www.teletext.org.uk where they have a sizable archive of Digi pages

Been some time since I posted on the old RG forums but I've attended (Re)Play every year so far and I have to say that it's become one of the main highlights of the calendar for me (aside from the obvious; birthday, Christmas, annual bath and such) and this year has been no exception. Hopefully I'll...

By spreading out all of the posts over many multiple sections like that it would make the forum seem sparse and empty.

Plus it would also be a bit of a headache to moderate.

I used to watch this from time to time as, despite not being much of a sports fan, it was pretty funny.

The idea of the minimig is that it's open source, meaning that anyone with access to an FPGA dev board can make one...

...the trouble is getting hold of an FPGA dev board as these can be pretty expensive.

I'm very fond of Mines of Terror and would urge people to check it out. A Metroid-esque platformer featuring the underrated sixth doctor.

Transbot on the SMS is quite easy. It's also super repetative, looping over the same 3 or 4 areas until you eventually give up.

My 360 has recently shuffled off this mortal coil and is way out of warranty so I have ordered the new one which should arrive this Friday.

Just purchased a boxed original Game Boy. Rather pleased with it as well

Napalm for the Amiga, great game released in 1998 which was well into the twilight of the system.

Over the drone of thrash metal, That annoys me, the guys behind the counter just play whatever kind of music they like. It doesn't happen in Game and I'm sure that they potentially lose sales because of it. If you're not into that kind of music it can be really off putting whilst browsing. I also d...

Nope doubtful whether any studio would touch a project involving Mr 'Drunken-Angry-Phonecall' Gibson right now. I do like all of the movies even though Joe Pesci gets on my nerves (don't get me wrong, he's a fine actor).

The Sci-Fi (SyFy) channel in the U.S. of the A has been sh*tting out TV movies/mini series for an age. Although some of the recent ones have been quite good (The Lost Room, Alice). Some of my favourite TV movies are Asteroid (1997 starring The Terminator and Aliens' Michael Biehn no less) and Sole S...

As has been mentioned the Dreamcast has a massive selection of emulators and homebrew and they are so simple to get up and running (no console modification required) that mine spent many years under the TV even long after the PS2 had returned to it's box. Also, if you do fancy some console modificat...

It's a nice, and fairly cheap, little system to own. The arcade ports are pretty good (Galaxians, Asteroids etc) and its also backwardly compatible with the 2600 which throws open lots of extra opportunities for game collecting without having to buy 2 systems straight away. The only thing that peopl...
