    Hmm, unless I missed it nobody's yet mentioned the sheer brilliance of Cannon Fodder and Sensible World Of Soccer on the good ol' Amiga.... me and my one-time neighbour used to waste away days at a time on Sensi......... classs :hip:

    Also that Geoff Crammond Stuntcar game thing and Grand Prix 1 World Circuit............ and Sim City :p

    ah, Braindead 13...great looking game, but I was never keen on those 'press a button at just the right time' games - same with Space Ace and Dragons Lair, they looked bloody brilliant for the time, but IMO the game-play sucked!

    Dragon's Lair! That's the name, it escaped me recently, I love those games. I suck terrible horses at them, but enjoy them quite a bit.

    *glances at Sega machine*

    I'd agree with you, but I'm terrified to use my Sega anymore.

    I was playing Sonic 2 all giddy and happy, I was on act 1-2, and I wanted to go out, so I went to turn it off, I pushed the power button. Nothing. I pushed it again. Nothing. I pushed it down as hard as I could and left it there for a moment. Nothing still. I hit my reset button. Nothing. I repeat teh same process withteh power and reset buttons several times, attempting different combinations of button presses. Nothing. The game remained on and playable. Finally I get fed up with it and pulled the cartridge out of the system. It stayed on and playable. I beat all teh way up to act 3-1 before I decided I would destroy the evil at it's source. I went out to the fuse box. Yanked out the fuse. Went down to my room. EVERYTHIGN was off. I left, put the fuse back in, came back to my room to still find everythign off.

    It hasn't been touched since. That was probably a year or two ago now.

    Oh my word...how could I forget?!:

    Speedball 2!!!! Bitmap brothers triumphed again, with Xenon 2 being another brilliant game of theirs.

    Now, why has no one mentioned....

    SYNDICATE!!!! The original...SUPERB game. Released at the same time as cannon fodder on the PC, and a much better game indeed. LOVED that game!

    hehe, I was seriously considering getting a cheap, second hand GBA and getting one of those flash-linkers...I'd never need to buy any games - just d/l them :nono:

    As if i'd do that though - I wouldn't dream of using pirate software/games...
