Huzzah, two insanely long games I'll probably never have the time to complete :pac:
Have to say kudos to Amazon. My brother ordered a copy of Bravely Default as my Christmas present but it never arrived. He phoned up about it on Tuesday and a new copy was UPSed to the door this afternoon
They might be a faceless corporation driving many small companies out of business with their aggressive tactics, but they're one consumer friendly company :pac: 0 -

I've found Amazon customer service to be probably the best I've ever seen, from any online faceless retailer. They're really, really good to deal with in the event of a problem0 -

Yeah I order from them dozens of times every year and this is the first time there's a problem. Was super impressed at how quickly they handled it - we put in our phone number on their help page and they literally called back within seconds.
Ethically I do have concerns with them (and I've started ordering from different retailers when it is reasonable to do so, especially for DVD and BluRay), but for the end customer they offer a truly fantastic service at the right price. Shame the steps did need to be taken to get that right price

Ah, I couldn't see form the pic. Where can these be got for reasonable money actually? 0 -

If you can't pick a new one up, how about using some of that Suguru stuff and giving it a quick lick of colour matching paint and finish it off with a gloss sealant to match the finish of the stick?
Those sticks were awesome. I could only dream of owning one when I was a young pup. I did have this awesome bug thing though, I think called the Cheetah Bug? I had another one too called the Cruiser joystick. If I recall rightly it was microswitched. Not that I knew or cared at the time, all I cared about was the Cruiser stick helped me complete Hudson Hawk on the C64.
TOP GAME THAT! 0 -

I think more people probably played the game than saw the film!
Amen. I've actually never seen the film. No idea why I bought it... at FULL PRICE TOO back then!
The C64 version is just utterly brilliant. That last level, in The Vatican, when you run down the corridor and see the great room open up with the final item to rob is just epic!
It's a seriously satisfying game, and a tough one to beat too, at least for me it was, which is why I always remember when I cleared the game straight through.
If you have access to a C64 or an emulator, give it a try, it's a great game.
As an aside, I wonder if Hudson Hawk is on Netflix? Might have to watch that this weekend...0 -

In the collection! :cool:

This stuff arrived today. Took long enough!
Front Line (Famicom)
You'd probably class this as 'kusoge'. Personally I like it's utter simplicity, even if the game does undeniably suck balls. The box art is nice though!
Image Fight (Famicom)
Here's some trivia you may not know about Image Fight. See that blue bloke on the front cover? He's actually a commissioned portrait of Jason Donovan. Game folklore states that Jason was a big fan of Irem and that shortly before passing the baton of Jason in Jason & The Technicolour Dreamcoat to Phillip Schofield, Andrew Lloyd-Webber actually stumped up the cash to have the portrait done as a gift by renknowned in-house artist at Irem, Floella Benjamin.
Top game. Image Fight and Image Fight II, like the Darius series, is quickly taking over my life...
Family Tennis Advance (Game Boy Advance)
I've got a bug for tennis games recently, after the delights of World Court on the PC Engine. Time to take tennis on the move!
Final Match Tennis (PC Engine)
After playing the wonderful World Court on the PC Engine, I set about finding more tennis games for the mighty NEC champion console. Final Match Tennis is reportedly THE tennis game to get, even outclassing some better known 16bit titles that would follow in years to come. Excited to play this tonight...!
