If you come on here telling us the game got a bad rap, & that it's not as bad as people make out...I swear
It's a very misunderstood game and the people that slag it off have never played it before. Also it's much better in it's original NTSC form since the frame rate of 10 FPS is far more playable than the PAL versions. Also people fail to realise the social commentary in the game. The manual states that the green mist in the game is a product of Lex Luther and is 'Kryptonite Gas' but this is really a ruse and is in fact a direct commentary on the poor draw distance in most N64 games and the poor implimentation of anti aliasing.

The few episodes I glimpsed at on Dave or whatever channel it was, must have been from that era so.
I think i remember catching a glimpse of an older episode that looked better.
It was set back in Victorian times-ish, and while he's having a conversation with a woman on the street,
there's a piano tha'ts held up by some rope/hoist in the background, and the rope is starting to tether.
A mother pushing a pram walks towards the piano, and he ends up throwing something that helps snap the rope so the piano falls before they walk under it and saved the day.
If that rings any bells, or mallets in this case.

Got project zero on the xbox in the post this morning.
You on the gargle already? Suppose it's almost lunchtime now.
Well don't be making Pyongyang-esque purchases! :P0 -

This little fellow arrived this morning, Canabalt for the C64, forgot I had ordered it. Pretty sure my C64 has long since disappeared though so will need to source another.
It was the brilliant music that convinced me of the purchase:

Not those hot pockets Adultappleflavouredbeveragemale, the ones you open, put in your pockets and they keep your hands warm.
My bad...
They are/were super tasty and the food of choice, along with Jolt cola, of gamers EVERYWHERE.
(well, when I say gamers everywhere I mean American gamers between the years of 92 and 2003 or so, sorry I can't be more specific)
The better half bought one of those little chemical marvels, for the heating properties of course but also so when you pass their stand in the Pavilion in Swords you can honestly tell them "No thanks, have one" without lowering you head in shame and ignoring them like usual!0 -

Nice! That hopefully means I should have my one today too.
And I'd also completely forgotten I ordered that :pac:0 -

Hate to bring it up but it's a really poor port of the game done by Tose. It's no where near as bad as the PS1 port but they really ****ed up the music in the game which is one of the best things about it.

SNES although the carts are expensive. You could also try emulation. For FF5 you can find a fan translation but it's much better translated than the official square enix translation (that at one point is so bad it tells you to go in one direction while actually meaning the opposite direction). Also there's two versions of FF4, the US version and the japanese version. Japanese version with a fan translation is again the way to go because 1. it's better than the swill that passes for english in the US version and 2. they cut down the difficulty and most of the class abilities in the US version.
For FFIII/6 the GBA port actually isn't too bad and the music is a hell of a lot better but still not as good as the SNES games. However there's some bizarre censorship in the GBA port. Luckily there's no point messing with fan translations because both are translated really well.

If it was FFIV I'd have a bigger problem with the ATB guage, since the US version has a glitch.

That's the version I have and I'd noticed it myself before looking it up. No issues with FFVI though, really like the GBA port 0 -
