    Still can get a few deals though. Last year I got megaman x2, terranigma and mario party 3 for peanuts in comparison to what they can go for.

    Terranigma is one of the games I'm looking for. The worst thing is I had it in my hands a while ago and gave it to my friend in the US for helping me out when I was over there last year. Oh well.

    Worth a look

    Very cool. Tape counter never moved that fast when loading though.

    Just so you should know, Shadow Warrior is currently available on Steam for free, so why don't you go and check that out, eh?

    It only moved slower when you were looking at it. Going to make a cup of tea exponentially improved loading speeds.

    Taking magic mushrooms to look at the coloured load lines on the other hand was not recommended.

    I got that from an Aussie seller. It pops up on eBay.com a few times as well and can go for a bit lower than normal.
    I know a user on here got a boxed copy for a sub €100 price, which is ggood.
    I only played it for a hour or so and never really got into it.

    Could you not of giving that person Rise of Robots or summit?

    The guys who made the excellent Critter Crunch and Sword & Sorcery EP have a neat looking 2D shooter coming out based on 'ghosts' and replays, actually:

    It's been done before on a smaller scale (that Winterbottom game from a few years back among others), but this one will hopefully dial it up to 11!

    Managed to sneak home yesterday evening and rescue about 3 bags worth of games.

    Mostly PS2 and Gamecube era.

    Oh I'm just not terribly welcome at home, so I don't have much access to the bulk of my old collection.

    You could always make something like that Xbox 360 Gaming Pod?

    I just watched the first two episodes of this. I've gotta say, I'm quite entertained.

    I don't remember this one from back in the day at all. I remember The Den used to play a the other Sonic cartoon... the strange one with the chicken and the drill dude. I don't remember seeing this one here though, but it's quite cool.

    That show was always about the theme songs. Actually don't really remember anything else about it.

    I do and not much older than you, can't remember what channel it was for sure but I remember it changed into Trouble and was heartbroken because that day was meant to be a continued episode, was bawling my eyes out.
    (checking wiki it might have been TCC I'm thinking of)

    Awww, yeah, that was dickish of them to actually change over to having Trouble air all the time, replacing TCC. Heh. I even remember when it was still called The Children's Channel.

    Speaking of TCC, anyone else remember Oscar's Orchestra? And the Earthworm Jim cartoon?

    My heart actually broke, they did it with Fox Kids as well I think it was just after it turned into Jetix? (not sure too lazy to look). It had the Donkey Kong cartoon and .. Metabots?

    Most people would remember EWJ, my cousin's house had it on all the time so I was delighted. Haven't thought about OO in ages, wasn't mad about it but remember it

    Definitely remember earthworm Jim. Always watched it. I mainly watched nickelodeon as a kid though.
