These aren't made by you, right?

Re: The anti-what grinds your gears thread.
I love all that stuff! For some reason (probably because I haven't gone back to them for 20 years, unlike games, movies), few things take me back like old game shows. My favourites are Family Fortunes and Catchphrase on Challenge. There's not enough though, and I'm living abroad, so I don't have tha...

Must this happen in every thread? It's just a bit of banter ffs.

Re: Blots on the gaming landscape.
As for the Micro, I do like it, it's just that I often feel like I'm doing the games a disservice by playing them on such a small screen (even if it is nice and bright/vivid). It's like watching an Oscar-winning movie on your phone. They're meant to be on a small screen, but not THAT small. I find i...

Re: Blots on the gaming landscape.
Woah, don't dismiss ALL the 3D stuff. Monkey Ball is great, for a start. Although having said that, if you're playing them on a tv, yeah, there's not much reason to play the GBA versions of Monkey Ball, Duke Nukem, V Rally etc. I can't abide the Game Boy Player though because it ruins the whole expe...

Re: Blots on the gaming landscape.
I'm sure there are worse systems, like the 32X or Jaguar or whatever, but not having played them, I think I'll say the GBA SP. What a horrible redesign. It was the first step Nintendo took down the long slippery slope of form over function. They mindlessly ripped the clamshell design from popular ph...

Re: Does anybody actually sit and play all the way through R
I tend not to finish many games. I buy/have bought far too many anyway. I get opportunity paralysis or I get distracted by something else. The games I finish are usually my old favourites (Zeldas, Resident Evil, Broken Sword, Super Metroid, Lylat Wars etc), which I've completed over and over again. ...

Re: Game Gear
Fantastic machine. Great fun to collect for. One of the very few handheld systems that it's actually comfortable to use (as an adult) thanks to it's beautiful chunky design. Very nice ageless black finish and lovely curved ages too. Just great design all round. The battery problem is no longer a pro...

Re: The Best Game You've Bought For a Pound or Less
Oh, and worst buy was without a shadow of a doubt, Hidden and Dangerous on PS1. Absolute unadulterated pap.

Re: The Best Game You've Bought For a Pound or Less
I went through a phase a while back where, inspired by a few blog posts, I was trying to see how many times I could get five games for only five pounds (and this was inclusive of postage on ebay too). Best buys were Kururin and GTA on GBA, Ghost Hunter on PS2, Chu Chu Rocket on DC, and Tomb Raider 2...

Re: From the forum issue 132 - Favourite first-person shoote
Goldeneye is the obvious choice for me. Just as playable today as it was 15 years ago, I don't care what they say! Less popular choice would be Doom 64. Great lighting effects and atmosphere, and too many levels and secrets for its own good.

Re: What system do you regularly play on?
Right now it would be my GBA or my PS1, which I keep in my desk at work with the screen attachment.

Re: Are the PS1, Saturn classic's or have they aged Badly?
I'll not hear a bad word said against crappy early 3D. That's what gives the era its charm!
