Wtf are you on about? The Sonic series stopped @ Knuckles. There were NO more Sonic games after that.0 -

Ive been trying to get my hands on Sonic the Comic for agesYou've gotten so much Brownie points there!
I still have bout a hundred Sonic the Comic comics, only have volume 1 and 3 of the archie ones.that Sat: am was based on (should watch it again it was my favourite)
The odd issue crops up on ebay but there doesnt seem to be any collections or anything The archie ones are piss easy to get (and still going I think)
I do have all the Sat.AM episodes though :pac:
And the really weird Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog too. I know that was supposed to be the one really geared towards kids but looking at it now, its actually bonkers O_o
Never read Zoids. I loved the Marvel UK Transformers though!Sonic the comic was done around the same time British comic writers had free reign with big franchises.
Marvel UK's Transfromers was a brilliant comic book as well... and Zoids was ****ing unreal!0 -
I got about the last 95 issues and I've about 5 random old ones like from the early 90s my mam/sister got in the charity shop, they used to only be 20p. Maybe one of the days I could scan a few for you?

TAoStH I still have on tape, when I was small my dad's moustache went kinda orangey and he'd a beer belly so I used to call him Dr Robotnik lmao.
You're after reminding me of this
Never read Zoids.
if I got up early enough I could watch the Zoids: Chaotic Century before I went to school and at the weekends on Sky1. Another thing I've to watch again :PZoids was ****ing unreal!0 -

Just discovered that there is a Long Version hack of Sonic The Hedgehog 2,
which adds 4 lost levels from the Beta Version which were scrapped during its development.

The remade levels are utter **** though. They were designed from the ground up by fans that have no clue about game design so aren't the best. The originals they are based on are just some really buggy and very incomplete levels from prototype carts or preview pictures.

Anyone ever come across this controller for the NES before?
Or this one for Nintendo made for quadriplegics?
The chair looks mental as your arse is the D-Pad.
Its actually really cool that they made a special controller so quadriplegics could play. It wasn't a one off either as the controller could be purchased by mail order from Nintendo for $179. The chair on the other hand never made it into stores and wasn't an actual Nintendo product.

The issue of people with a disability and games is an interesting one.
Certainly for many the introduction of gesture controls is a good one, and the availabilties of SDKs for Kinect will mean advanced controls for any amount of PC software tailored to an individual's available degrees of movement, which is all pretty cool imho.
I remember various different controllers over the years, used to control software on BBC-b computers as well as Archimedes in my training hospital back in 91, they used various different kinds of switchplate variants to allow people with limited movement, like Cerebral Palsy, and an associated intellectual disability, to activate various "rewards" like colour patterns etc.
The Wii-mote and Kinect represents to first really major leap forward, plus they are very affordable, many peripherals up to this point were purpose built and only available through clinical supply specialists and the costs could be astronomical.
There were also electromechanical devices that tended to be rather homemade looking that game stimuli, spinning lights, bursts of air, to the user when a switch plate was activated, nothing sophisticated but quite useful in their own way. Again I'm going back to the late 80's early 90's for these things.0 -

A friend of mine's uncle is quadriplegic. He had a specially designed keyboard and mouse thing and is well capable of playing any game from FPS to RTS. Also saw someone playing Street Fighter 4 at tournaments with a specially designed Xbox contorller. Was quite the heart warming video and the was a fantastic player to boot.

My wallet can barely contain itself!
Did you order any in the end?
I got a few, might try and jazz up my laptop a bit.
Got a Zelda fairy pool, a big metroid, Samus and a Blooper from Mario. I'd have bought more but it was starting to add up a bit!Anyone ever come across this controller for the NES before?
.
I didn't know there was a NES one. Have seen the Megadrive one on ebay a few times. Last one I saw sold for something like $50. Would have bought it but it was in the states!
