    No one 'lives' in limerick. They survive. Kinda like a Hobesian State of Nature.

    True, I think it's only fair to balance out the limerick jokes, with Cork jokes!

    I have no pride in Cork, as it's merely my birthplace so don't be afraid folks!

    Tired!
    Had a party for 9 year olds here in the house as the boy had a birthday.
    Where did they end up after being partied out on the giant inflatable slide?
    My games room!
    Play Mario Kart DD and SSBB, Mario Tennis on the VB, Rockaroids on the Vectrex!
    Also, they were taking pictures with the GB Camera, playing Loco Roco on the PSP and some SMB on the GBC.....
    I'll be getting some irate parents who are pissed off with their kids demands for retro consoles from Santa come Jebus Day!

    That sounds fantastic man!

    Did they lap up the Retro Games?

    You'd be worried that the outdated graphics would put them off, but they seem to have enjoyed it from what you said.

    Lads,

    apologies for all the questions this weekend,
    but i might just sneak this one in before midnight to wrap things up! ;)


    Is there any must have revisions of Mega Drive or Master System games?

    Or, do you know of any online reference for a list or database of such games?

    I'm thinking along the lines of Revenge of Shinobi and all the changes made due to copyright infringements.

    I'm trying to fit the SMS and Mega Drive games onto one single 2GB card, by deleting all the unnecessary game revisions + regions.

    I might do the same for the SNES also.

    I'm guessing:

    the later the revision = the more bugs fixed

    as a general rule?

    Thanks in advance.

    Probably old news but Zelda: Majoras Mask HD looks awesome, and it's coming on the WiiU.
    NOw, I think it's a good reason why I'll be buying this machine at Christmas, but couldn't they have released it for the 3DS, given they have the 3D engine running just fine wit OoT.
    Anywho, few people of the gaming gen have played MM, given both it's presence at the end of the N64's lifespan, if not past it's popularity stakes, few gamers will have still had the hardware.
    The new visuals will add a sense of occasion as well, fell less like a rehash and more like a new game.
    Of course, this will be MM no.3 for me, as I already have it for the N64 and the GC as part of the Zelda promo pack.
