    After about 10 years in a friends attic this has been returned to me !
    It was all in the carry case so hasn't even got dust on it.
    I just need to plug it in and make sure it works now !

    Well done.
    I just hope you are not too broken hearted when you play PD and Goldeneye again, they haven't aged well at all.
    On a brighter note Body Harvest looked awful at the time, so nothings changed!

    And Blastcorp is still very very cool!

    Well they haven't.
    I still enjoy Goldeneye, not recently mind you.
    Perfect Dark on the other hand, despite innovating at the time, just doesn't look good at all.
    And even the HD remake really got left, I paid for it, couldn't wait to play, then got bored with the thing after 30 minutes and have yet to go back.
    Sad but true.

    Once again, Blastcorp is one of my favourite games on the system and one of those rare Rare titles that doesn't stick googly eyes to something to make it cute!

    Well it's working, but the few games I had a quick try of didn't look great on a 42" plasma !

    I'll hook it up to my Old 14" CRT and continue playing from there when I get a chance

    My mind control tactics are starting to show some results.

    Must give Body Harvest another go. Seemed like a proto EDF more than anything. As for Blast Corp, it's the finest thing Rare has done on the N64.

    Mind control?
    What mind contr....

    I am having love for the Streets of Rage, it is so choice as is Goldenaxe.
    I think Edge mag is pants and no nothing about how great Treasure games are.
    I think Balbriggan is the greatest town on nnfoinitj2tngvq2ngvln

    WTF!

    I don't know what happened there!
    I was just typing about mind control when I got a sudden headache and awoke slumped over the keyboard.

    I reckon the last attempt at implanting ridiculous and untrue nonsense finally sent me into some sort of arrest before I came to, a kind of "turn it off, turn it on again" for the mind.

    Back off Retr0, with your Tom Cruise witching powers!

    Nope, nopedy nope.
    No EDF is Body Harvest.
    Plays far far too slow.
    It seems to be a game with massive potential, just it was unfortunate to be developed for the wrong console, at the wrong time.
    On the PS2 or Xbox, as a part of the Xcom franchise, it could have really worked.
    As it is, it's badly animated and drawn and has more fog than you know what to do with and I'm not sure what effective resolution it's running in behind all that anti-aliasing but I'm reckoning my Pokemon Mini could give it a run for it's money!
