If you're up for it mate my email is [email protected]
Could go this weekend if I've sorted out a house by then!
-
Tell you what mate, don't know what part of the 'Londish' area you are, but if you're my side we may get a few of us to go to the Meusem Of Computings' Videogames exhibition in Swindon. Looks like it could be a good laugh, and on Saturdays you can play!

But will I need a link up to transfer games over?
I think my girlfriend might be giving me here old iPod anyways, but I'd still like one.
-
Yes, but I think you need the link program to install the Freelauncher file.So I could use a PC to do this (and it does what?), and then just use my Mac from then on in with a card reader?
It think there's a UK company that has the system all set up for you. Maybe I should contact them...
BTW Mayhem I just been reading your site and relised you used to write for Keiths' Retro Gamer fanzine. Are you on CCNUK?

Noticed someone is having trouble with their GP32, which got me thinking to ask a question that I have...
I want one as an MP3 player (instead of an iPod), but I want to hook it up to my iMac. I know that there's a Mac -> GP32 link programme avaliable, but it doesn't yet support Panther (which I run), so can I just use a card reader to transfer files to and from it? And how good is the MP3 play back? And (last question) are any of the emulators working fully yet?
-
Wait a sec... so, if I'm reading this right, the Shadow Man file takes over a VMU, and displays the teddy bear no matter what game is being played???So, the VMU is possessed??? WTF?
Not really. You how when you format your VMU you get to pick a picture? Well this game changes what ever one you choose to a teddy as soon as you save. The only way to get shot of it is to format it. I think this is pretty damn awful personaly...
Anyone ever noticed that you can choose a Cannabis leaf for your VMU? I like the monkey personally.
-
Atmosphere is brilliant, even the voodoo teddy which seems to remain on the VMU is cool.BTW once you play this game the VMU logo is impossible to remove without formatting your VMU and losing all your data. One reason why I'm not too keen on this game.
Oh, one game that always splits people is the Nomad Soul. Love it or hate it? I personaly think it's one redeaming feature is the man, the legend, David Bowie, but otherwise sucks.

I was lucky enough to get Chu Chu Rocket for $4 sealed at EBGames right when they were ridding off all their DC stuff. It's an odd puzzler but can be played by one just enough - We never played it multiplayer if it is...It was sent out free in the UK to DC owners due to the wait on the servers at the time. Nice bonus... thank you Sega Europe.
It was slow on-line, but none the less it still worked and was a great little game even though the amount of people playing wasn't brilliant. Multi-player on it is good, but single is great none the less.
-
Bleem already did it anyways after the Bleemcast incident...
You need to remeber one of the greatest games in the last 5 years, Ico - not only on PS2, but developed and publsihed by Sony. Also Guilty Gear X (and XX), Capcom Vs. SNK 2, Gregory Horror Show, Freak Out, Fantavision, Rez, Hardware... do I need to go on?
If you want to slag anything off then look at the X-Box....
I think it has a real lack of PC ports and FPS games 
Sorry, let's not get in to a fanboy console war.

Soul Reaver is superb but if you found Resi tricky and got lost then you'll have a hell of a time with it. Similar with Shadow Man, but it isn't even as good - mediocore at best. You do always have GameFAQs.com though.
UFC is superb. You can sit on someone and repeatedly punch them in the face till they get knocked out. Extremly violent and good for button-bashing.
Haven't played Virtua On as it wasn't released in the UK. Sorry.

Mayhem, aren't arsebiscuits a refrence to the cartoon Stressed Eric?

I'll trade you shitty sports games as imports for boxed SMS games as exports.
Well, I am looking for a few US only DC games. Namely Seaman, Fatal Fury: Mark of The Wolves and KoF '98. Have plenty of SMS about that I don't want so much.
-
That's ironic, considering all three he just picked for worst are three I would have cited for best!
I'm still impressed by the 2600 Jr's slim design and look. I think the sleek jet black appearance and small profile of the PS2 is great. And the TG-16 is just so different from everything else I can't help but love it. 
Oh, no way.
The Jr is an awful system, it couldn't feel any more cheap. The buttons and switchs don't last five minutes. The TG-16 is simply ugly, especially when you consider all the PC Engine models (except maybe The Shuttle) and PS2 is horrible due to the fact that it has no proper on / off button on it's front, if you have it vertical (which looks better) it's unstable without the base and scratches your disks, those ridges along the front collect dust (the same reason the woodies didn't make my selection) and it isn't symetrical which is an awful aestic design disaster. The PS2 sometimes feels like it was rush released to compete with the DC.
The Saturn's ugly too. And the Master System I and II are nice.

I have over a 100 games (including the rare rare PAL Samba de Amigo boxed set), about 20 imports, two machines (one being see-through green), 2 arcade sticks, fishing rod, 5 or 6VMUs, mouse, keyboard, VGA box etc etc...
I'm just pissed off that to complete my collection I'll have to buy all the shitty sports games...
-
Best:
GP32
Jaguar
Dreamcast
Worst:
TG16
PS2
2600 Jr.

Plus if you get the GBA, you'd want the eCard reader.... then all NES games on card..... then the GC-GBA link cable..... and a second GBA to link to with the link cable (that's extra).... but if you want to play movies or MP3's then that's another $200-300....
Or you could by GP32 and have all the NES, Genesis, PC Engine, NGPC etc etc games you want aswell as playing movies and MP3's straight out of the box. Would that be too easy?

Just to let you know that this article will be published on Gamer-Nation.co.uk in the coming week or so.

I'd say aviod it. Nothing that whoopty-doo for the system, except Mario 64. For the same price as a N64 you can almost buy a second hand Cube nowadays (saw one for £30 ~ $60 with game and mem card the other day) and the system is a lot better.
The only games I can see being worth anything in the future for the N64 is Majoras Mask, Orge Battle and possibly Bangi-O (not sure on the Jap name for this game). Very little third party support has left it a bit unpopular for the hardcore / collector scene. Waste of money I say... but then again, this is coming from the guy that was sure the X-Box was gonna be a faliure and the N-Gage the next big thing
-
It's an excellent article, which really should see it's self in print. I don't think your average Gamespot reader is going to appreciate that much detail. I'm a massive SNK fan and it was far far too much for me.
-
Viewtiful Joe definitely shows that 2D isn't dead!Viewtiful Joe isn't 2D. It maybe 2.5D, due to the fact it's 'on-rails', but that is it. It's visual style definetly encompasses a lot of 3D elements.
I don't think you can really call Capcom Vs. SNK a new 2D game because it's essentially a rehash. Morigan looks awful on it, I'm sure she's straight out the Saturn Darkstalkers. Perhaps the last great 2D game of the none-portable era was Mr Driller or Guilty Gear?
-
Wow. That's.... comprehensive!
-
Sony releases 2d games when they've either got alot of extras, or are budget priced.What about Guilty Gear XX? That was full price and 2D. If you think that the real reason that Metal Slug isn't appearing on PS2 (even after it was announced) is because it's 2D then that's complete bollocks, why would they say that when Sony gave Activision Anthology the go ahead?
I think this is more a problem with M$ handing over a big stack of cash to SNK to get the Otaku scene in and then hope the rest of the west will follow.

You like this game? I'm sure the second time you play it you'll hate it! Have you had to jump up the stairs yet? Or been on that irritating circular platform? Anyways, it gets a bit of 4 player action once in a while, but that's about it really to be honest. Single player it's awful.
Have you got Ooga Booga yet? I got this through the post today (didn't come out over here, so hadn't played it yet) and I have to say that it's superb!
I think you'd probably like the PAL exclusive Toy Racer that was released for charity. I could source one out for you and we could do a trade if you'd like?
