Retro Gamer forum

Happy birthday ToxieDogg. Hope you have a good one.

That's soooo funny! I haven't been reading the forum for long but I remember reading some of the quotes, Top work Monkey Puzzle!

just finished Devil May Cry 4, Human Mode, this afternoon. Enjoyable and stylish if a little repetitive.

Gears of War. I played it a few times, got as far as the third act and then got distracted by a different game. Painting the garage door. :wink: I went back to it, after about 12 months and finished it off but I really don't get it. My opinion won't be helped by the fact that I was truly awful at th...

When i was at uni i also had a weekend job so as well as getting a grant i had my own money,and i lived at home rather than in halls of residence or renting. I was lucky really....but i did drink a lot. :D :D :D I did the same thing - kept my p/t job and stayed at more parents during term time. Whe...

I played on my cousin's Playstation quite a few times, didn't have one myself, and have great memories of Psygnosis' Destruction Derby.

Same here! Most of the covers I voted for didn't make it through Sonic and Speccy's rubber love made it to the final though!

Ah well, my vote's in.... NiGHTS

I picked up Defender for the Gamecube yesterday. A price of £2.99, in Gamestation, was enough to tempt me to try it.

It's best played whilst trying hard to forget it's lineage.

Shame its too late for you to go to the retro show in Stoke, coming up this weekend, should be great. I was reading about this event on the forum somewhere. It sounds like it'll be a lot of fun! I live in Fife though so it's a bit too far away for me. 'Discovered' the PC Engine through emulation, s...

Not a great retro "find" but I downloaded R-Type Dimensions. I tried to resist it (1200 MS Points!) but I crumbled.

Hello, I'm Matt. I joined the forum yesterday. First I have to say that I'm impressed with what I've read so far. The only hitch is that I feel like I'll need to take a week or two off work to read everything else! It's great to see lot's of gaming knowledge and a friendly feel on the boards. Hopefu...

I remember the GX4000 version of Burning Rubber. I still have it. It's in the box along with the console on a very high shelf probably feeling very unloved and dusty. I haven't played it for a long time but I might have to give it a whirl again soon after reading this thread. Btw, I agree with the c...

I'm playing Fallout 3. While it's a fascinating game to play I'm finding it quite laborious. So, into the mix go Robotron 2084, Bomberman & I purchased R-Type Dimensions at the weekend. I'm also into Onslaught on the Wii at the moment. It's a lot of fun and 4 player friend matches are a riot! Ovine'...

Has anyone else read Mr Biffo's Confessions of a Chatroom Freak? It's utterly bizarre and hugely funny. It's well worth checking out.

I wouldn't recommend reading it in public unless you're used to getting strange looks.
