    Hmm! I'm going to have a think about this! Who to choose? Silver Burst Hawk? Bond? Vic Viper? Or a yellow blob with non-existent collision detection?

    I'll have a think through today and post later.

    Decisions decisions!

    Oh feck it!
    Stick me back on the list, I had thought I wouldn't be able to choose a game up to the standards around here... But then I saw Arkanoid and figured I was selling myself short!

    Playstation?
    CD32?

    ..
    ...
    Atari Jaguar???

    You've just shown your ignorance at being one of those people that have yet to experience earthbound.

    Now now Retr0, lets face facts.
    You knew I was ignorant about videogames long before you knew I hadn't played Earthbound!

    And, yet, despite this obvious disconnect in my gaming prowess and knowledge, I'm still a mod here!?!
    I suppose the recruitment policy hereabouts is a copy of the one Game use for their staff! ;)

    Yes.

    No.

    Anyways, it'd be pointless picking an RPG, as it's only a week and you've all got lives and things. I'll probably pick something arcade-y, maybe with some sort of prize for highest score. Keep on the edge of your seats there, lads.

    Pick whatever you want, it's not a prerequisite to play the game, it's more for discussion of it.

    Sounds a bit like Wrath of Khan to me...
    Although Alpha and Eagle are more reminiscent of Space 1999 tbh, Moonbase Alpha and the ships were known as Eagles.

    Ah, I would have given it one more, 11/10, just to give it's excellence that one little extra push.
