    Sonic Xtreme demo has been released for PC. It's mostly an engine test but it's a source port so very faithful.

    I was in GameStop Balbriggan this afternoon, the staff there seem a real decent bunch and know their games, new, retro and otherwise.
    Had a good chat there with them on all things Zelda and Nintendo in general.
    Worth a visit if only because it reminds me of what working in Gameworld used to be like, when people knew more than just how to push game insurance and loyalty cards.

    There's something really frustrating about seeing any Sonic game after Sonic 3.

    Sonic & Knuckles doesn't float your boat?
    Or is that really Sonic 3.5?

    I actually had it in my head that S&K came first for some reason! But sure it really is just the second half of Sonic 3 ;)

    Anti static bags seem to be good.
    Styrofoam causes static so bubble wrap is best.

    Believe it or not, I once received a SF2CE(thankfully a bootleg) wrapped in brown paper with a stamp on it, it actually survived prety well, the postman gave out about the sharp bits(siolder side) sticking into the other letters and hurting his hands lol.

    I also received a WRC in a pizza box with the remains of a pizza still in there

    That was a delivery of legend.
    Plus, who knew Dominos did Jamma boards with a selection of dips and complimentary garlic bread.

    I was so confused by the whole thing. After 3 attempts of eating it I finally realised it was actually my ebay purchase and not the pizza I hadn't ordered:o

    Hello, Dominos?
    This kick harness is very tough, just broke a crown on the connector board as well!
    The Bubble Bobble was otherwise delicious!
