Cheers but I was thinking more along the lines like design docs, analysis's and the like. I'm doing a 2D shooter for my final year project.

Well, again, the ABA Games titles are, over all, a deconstruction of the bullet hell/Shmup genre.
There are even details of the bullet pattern generating routine in there too, if memory serves.
Well worth paying visit.
Most of his site is in Japanese but there is an English part to it.

Hopefully you have minions to create a lovely vacuum between you and the plebs, if not, I fear what could happen.

Anybody try out that Castle in the Darkness Prologue? It's a taster of the full game due out early next year. From http://castleinthedarkness.mattkap.net/:

CASTLE IN THE DARKNESS is a retro-styled exploration platformer in development by Matt Kap. It is inspired by games like Castlevania, Megaman, Kirby, Metroid, Zelda, I Wanna Be The Guy, Ys and a lot more!

Plays pretty good actually, cool soundtrack. Nice scanlines option too. Apparently not part of the full game.

Unfortunately not. Came so close to kicking a screaming child in the face. Do not have the mental capacity to be dealing with screaming children today!

I never have the wherewithal to deal with screaming children. Thankfully I don't get them in store very often, our customers tend to be women between 25 and 50.
Only have kids with the mummies buying their iPhone and that's enough. Sitting on the counter or the little kid you knows everything about phones! Those be the worse.

Nope, I'm the Clinical Nurse Manager in a 12 bedded unit for males with an intellectual disability and who display what we like to call "challenging behaviour".
Never a dull day there let me tell you....

You know a job is serious sh1t when you need to know restraint & breakaway techniques

I've been putting a lot more retro game covers and such up on my arcade artwork website over the last few days.
It's costing me a damn fortune as I keep coming across games I don't have and really want so end up heading over to eBay every 10 mins and buying up stuff. The PC Engine is the biggest culprit, so many good games on that thing

I use restraint ever day I work in retail.

Ah yes, we call them Non Violent Control Techniques, in my job you are as often using them to avoid self injurious behaviour than assaults of other residents or staff.
But, I am at this line of work for 22 years now, used to it now!

Jaysus, you lads have it tough. The most dangerous thing I have to deal with in work is the slippy, marble type flloor when I walk in on a wet morning.

The toughest thing about my last job was probably having to remove all the daggers from my back every evening.
