Does anyone know anything about CivNet? This came free with a PC my mum bought way back but I was too young to appreciate the finer points of strategy games and never installed it. It doesn't seem to be listed on the Civ Fanatic site.

Not sure if this is widely known, but:

The samples in the ST version of IK+ sound like they were ripped from Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon.

I plumped for Space Crusade. I loved the original board game, and the video game version made it more accessable. It was quite atmospheric too. I did like playing Monopoly on the ST, though. Not having to work out the money side of things makes it a different experience. The Pac-Man board game was g...

Never, i repeat NEVER cheat! It's soul sucking, and will destroy your games! You are only cheating yourself, ripping yourself off, shortening your game's life-span and going to hell.

I should clarify that www.gamefaqs.com is most definitely NOT in my bookmarks... definitely.

Zero : This magazine was hilarious! Or at least it was back then, I'll have to re-read one to see if still has the same charm. Anyone remember Giles' Jolly Jumpers? ST Format : Without doubt the best ST magazine, covered all facets of a versatile machine. Edge : It's nice to be treated with a bit a...

Hehe, body chocolate. It's funny how great multiplayer games always throw up their own idioms. In our games Siberian Special Forces was known as Siberian Special Bastard because he would blend in to the background on some levels. Licence to Kill was 'License to Kev' after a friend of ours who pionee...

IK+ on the Atari ST I loved the sound you make when you receive a flying kick to the bonce at the end of a bout! Used to make me crease, even when it meant game over! I may be wrong on this, but the sound effects sound very familiar. Sampled from Enter The Dragon? OH-W-OH-W-OH! Lemmings Slightly sa...

Yup. I had similar thoughts when I discovered N64 Goldeneye. It may have been impressive for a console game, but it paled in comparison to many PC games. I hope your talking about technical achievement and not gameplay here, sonnyjim!! Goldeneye was an awesome game. I hated third-person shooters un...

Bubble Bobble This music was just a repeat of about 8 bars of music and went from initially cool, then totally head-doing, then so far ingrained in your brain that if you turned it off you would still hear it... but, somehow... I actually like it. Also: International Karate The Last V8 These were i...

Can your system play Shufflepuck Cafe? It's supposed to be great on the Mac. I had it on Atari ST and it was something really different at the time. The pong style gameplay is really timeless too. It was featured recently in a RG, I believe. Sorry if this information is all totally irrelevant, I hav...

I love a good shooter too... But I also suck :cry: Ikaruga rocks my world, but when the screen starts to fill with bullets of both colours my brain hurts and just gives up the ghost. I sweat, freeze and die... repeatedly. I'm better off sticking to the real old-skool shooters were hardware limitatio...

I can't get SFIII: 2nd strike to work on my version of MAME, so I'll have to stick with good old Street Fighter II: Turbo

Cyborg Justice This game was so cool! Ripping off arms and sticking them to yourself, stunning robots then sawing them up. Ha ha! I played it recently and was a little disappointed (rose tinted spectacles and all that) but nothing can take away the memories. I would recommend: Gunstar Heroes ; the ...
