Quick Q: Do I have to have bought the AA product, or can I review a game based on a ROM download or prior (Hozer) purchase?

Making it more obvious that you can leave reviews might be a good start. I just posted my Cat Trax, Funky Fish, Pleiades Bundle review. It would be handy to know what "NOTE: HTML is not translated!" means. Does that mean we can or can't use HTML markup? I'll see what else I can write a review for...

Excuse me?

Trick Shot

I think it's a PAL cart and you're all just using the default North America setting...

Centipede (And I've already said Asteroids...)

Difficulty 3 picture from a day or so ago...

It looks like there's a problem with the pallette gif. It's been scaled by my guess. There are over 200 colours in the image. It's mostly recoverable, but the two left hand colours on the top row are both coming up as black and the red is dithered into three colours and I don't know which one to use. Also, I'm being told by PP2C that the splash.pp I've made is not supported.

Another HES multipak, Frogger and Megamania, all boxed - A$5. Not a lot else. Passed on a grubby box of C64 stuff...

Don't know about that one, but if you've got a good PSX joystick, this adapter might be interesting: http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...oducts_id=3462&

I just picked up a HES multipak (Super Action), Tomcat and Doge 'em (picture label). Oh, and a spare Sega Master System Converter.

It would probably have to be rewired as when I turned on Thrust+DC with a 6-button gamepad connected it started the game automatically and the ship thrust off the top of the planet, firing all the way. Not that this is a problem or a bug. (Hi Thomas )

No, I'm just fed up with Flash ads, so I have the tags disabled and I don't have the plug-in installed.

Level 3 is hard. Meanwhile, I think I might have found a bug. If you drain a fuel tank a bit then shoot it (I was getting a bit close in reverse gravity) the next fuel tank doesn't contain the full amount. Is this known/likely?

Asteroids

Jeez Thomas, you search the forums for "Thrust" every day or something?

I've seen reference to these popping up on Fark but since they're Flash I haven't bothered. What's the deal?

Must... resist... inbreading... joke... about... Tasmanians...

Same problem with Thrust+ DC edition. They obviously look like paddles to a game that cares. I had to dig out a 7800 stick (which I actually like) to work on the new Thrust+ competition.

Nah, it's just awkward posing for the camera.

Joust

O-M-G. 45 minutes, maybe an hour? Wasn't watching the clock, sorry. Seriously? Cheating? I only blew up levels 4 and 5 three times and maybe level 3 twice. I really should read the manual again...

So. Damn. Close. Inverse Gravity, invisible terrain, level where you can't destroy the powerstation. Just coming out the top passage and I got overloaded trying to thrust and shield so I could see how close I was. Went a bit high - bamph.

Heh. If you look closely at the pic of me holding the cart you can see that I am, in fact, Nightcrawler.

Okay, lets get the easy bit done, and lets bump that hi-score up a little...
