      I might get the fixed edition, Soukyugurentai Otokuyo, it's not much more expensive.

      That's the one I have I think. White boarders on the artwork?

      Odd thing is, despite having t region locked, they patched the game in it's second iteration so it would work with US Saturns using Action Replay devices, as the original visuals would get corrupted!

      Also, they added a one level preview of Battle Garegga as well, which is nice!

      So I went to record a new unboxing video last night of that Action Replay 4 in 1 cart... and my fecking Saturn won't recognise that it's there!

      To be fair when I got this Saturn it was in bits and wouldn't boot half the time... cleaning up the unit seems to have fixed that but it seems that some of the contact pins in the expansion port have rusted away.

      Anybody got a cheap Saturn they wouldn't mind parting with? Mine is fecking knackard...

      Ah if its only slight corrosion on the pins it should be easily fixable.

      The things needs to be convinced to boot properly half the time, I already have a snipe going on an Ebay auction for a replacement so here's hoping!

      Well we were hoping that you'd have to tell were the enemies were by sound and have only the level visible in the radius of light but learning Game Maker 2 days before the competition was not a good idea on my part :) At least from talking to other game maker devs there I found out how to fix it if I need to do it next time.

      The last two games in the series were kind of crap so don't get your hopes up.

      Well they also made Xenosaga which was ****e.

      Xenoblade so far has been the first game they managed to make that was stellar and was a massive surprise to me considering their past catalogue of games.

      Ever wonder where all those nude raider rumours came from? Well here's an official advert for the first Tomb Raider at release for a greek magazine:

      A tiny but NSFW so only providing a link.

      WTF!

      It was embarrassing enough having the old render of Lara up on the desktop, but seeing the screenshot in the corner was priceless!
      Imagine all the magazines ruined by one hand perusing of that one ad.....

      Amazing! I love the little touches like the Exit sign and sweet dispensers. What an awesome setup.
