    Haha. Searching Adverts for SNES is going to produce a lot of results for one thing and one thing only.

    I take it the answer isn't "More Snes"?

    Pat was right as well. They'd actually completed over 50% of the game.

    I'm getting it for €20 anyway so I'd assume its worth it

    That's a computer, not a console. Absolutely brilliant price though.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Ah the C64c.

    €20 is a good price.

    Heard it's not bad just disgustingly mediocre and does nothing to stand out. I find those kinds of games worse than straight up bad ones.

    Indeed, poor elegant EU snes being desecrated by a brash, US cart.

    It's like painting a cowboy hat on the Mona Lisa.

    So to get an idea what games people are into here, what are your top 10 games of all time, new and old. Rise of the robots must not be included!

    1 or 2?

    I prefer Asssetto Corsa to Pcars 1, much better physics and feel, the force feedback is a mess in Project cars but Jack spades ffb settings can help you out with it:

    http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?22938-Jack-Spade-FFB-Tweaker-Files

    Only briefly tried Project Cars 2 but you also need to use Jack Spades FFB settings.

    Assetto Corsa works perfect out of the box.

    The only drawback with Assetto Corsa is theres no weather conditions, night time races but the detail of the laser scanned tracks is the best.

    If youre not using a wheel with force feedback youre probably wasting your time playing a racing sim though!

    Nope, just PS4 controller, ill give it ago since I got it for €20.

    Metal gear is on that list, love that myself, blew me away when it came out with MGS3 being the best in the series over all.

    Think I had Platoon in a games pack on the C64 but can't remember it.

    Horizon looks fantastic and will get it.

    No, not as far as I know.
    But Pang was pretty great nevertheless.

    Maybe I'm thinking of Rainbow Islands as well. I agree with Wipeout 2097, had the prodigy on there as well I think, never played any after that.

    No Resident Evil/Tomb Raider on these lists!
