    I played through it again recently enough and enjoyed it lots. I think if you're constantly comparing every game to the top games on a system you're going to be disappointed. I have most of the best run n gun games for the MD but also enjoy playing the games that aren't quite as good as them. Variety being the spice of life and all that ;)

    Are you playing it on an emu or do you have a physical copy on a CRT? It's a very nice looking game on a CRT.

    Actually, I'm getting completely off topic here. I will continue this on Friday! :pac:

    I just gave RvT a quick go there. I've a lot to say to you on friday :P I've too many games that are amazing to play to waste my time on average games like RvT (notice it;s been upgraded from scutter to average).

    I think 7pm is a good time to kick this off.

    I'll be there. Would be good if we can get a list of people who can confirm?

    If I can get some batteries (and possibly a mini nuclear reactor) I'll bring the Nomad along & an extra controller.

    Unfortunately Robocop Versus the Terminator won't work on it due to region lock out. Sorry Retr0 :(

    A mod can change the thread title to show the date and location and also add a public poll to list attendance.

    Right I'm sure I'll be there too :)

    What's the handheld of choice btw? DS with a stocked up flash cart (of games you already own of course)?

    Feck all you lot with your modern handhelds, I'll be Nomad-ing. :P

    Went to the shop earlier to get some batteries for it. €5.17 for four. WTF?! and I needed six. For probably about 4 hours worth of play time in total.

    Dude, £/€/€2 shop or whatever the f*ck they're called is where to get them. Just buy several packs of 12/24 or whatever.

    Two euro batteries in a Nomad? Are ye mad? It won't even boot up :D

    Or if it does, it'd probably last less than 5 minutes.

    Maybe I can bring along a PSU and slyly plug it in somewhere. The lights in the pub might start flickering though. :pac:

    Haha, they surprisingly work fine in my GameGear, but apparantly the nomad is a power hungry monster. Yeah try smuggle along a PSU anyway :) Ima bring my DS along anyways.

    I was thinking of bringing something from the physics labs here to help power up the nomad tomorrow but the guys say that a stable fusion reactor has yet to be invented.

    Actually maybe a list of DS games to bring would be good? My flashcart is predictably filled with the weird and japanese.

    My vote would be for Quendan 2 and Elite Beat Agents.

    The Merlin takes 6 AA batteries as well and that's just to light up a few bulbs.

    This Merlin thing interests me. Can't for the life of me figure out what it does.

    Pity I have not retro handhelds. The oldest I have is my GBA and my Brick was robbed years ago in the gaelteacht (my gaelige has gone to ****).

    Yes a list of games would be great. Preferably some multiplayer ones, like Mario Kart, Pokémon (of course!), Jump Superstars could be fun too and Bleach for some fighters.
