Re: What game turned you to PC?
Somewhere along the way for many of us, there was a defining game that made you sit up and take notice that the PC was a superior gaming platform. What the he** are you talking about? Superior? Have you played Miner 2049er? ;) Honestly, I really do like the old games better and it isn't just the no...

Do you have any opinions on the XGP in comparrison to the GP2X? I don't know that much about the XGP. I've never seen one in person so all I know is what I've read on the web. I understand it's similar to the GP2X but it isn't open which was the big appeal of the GP2X. Within days of getting mine I...

I've got a DS Lite which doesn't see much use. I like the hardware and the games I have (New Super Mario Bros., Tetris DS and Swing Away Golf) are very good. The problem is that the DS hurts my hands if I play for more than 15 minutes. I find the left and right buttons on the top very difficult to u...

6502dude, you're the second person to invite me to a meeting I think I might have been the first person. I'm sorry to hear about a conflict with your work schedule. Hopefully you'll be able to attend at some point and if not, there's always Schema's summer BBQ which, along with the World of Commodo...

It has been a long time so my recollection is a little fuzzy but I'm fairly sure the bug was only present in early 1541s as it was fixed once it was identified and it did not appear in later drives. As for JiffyDOS, I'm quite sure it does not have the bug. In fact, I remember an advert for JiffyDOS ...

Ah yes, the dreaded save with replace bug. It's strange how some people never encounter it and it is the bane of other people's existence. I ran into it a couple of times without knowing what had happened until I read about it in a magazine. Once you know about it, it's easy to avoid (or you could g...

The 500th user right at the end of the year. I love the symmetry of it all. As for the number of users that are actually participating, I suspect a lot of those users join when they're having a bout of nostalgia and then move on when interest wanes or join to ask a question and when their problem is...

How I'd love to have a copy of this for my Vic! No problem. See the Robotic Liberation page for interesting information about the demo as well as links to the music in mp3 format, the lyrics, videos of the demo (in case you're not near a VIC or VIC emulator, shame on you) and the demo itself. Hope ...

Mark me down as another fan of the WICO joysticks although for some games I preferred the Bat model whereas for others, I found the 'Ball' was easier to use. I started with a WICO Bat and then bought a 3-in-1 which allowed you to change the red plastic part to suit your mood or the game you were pla...

This is only somewhat on-topic but I had to share. Check out this auction . Colour me impressed. That's just about every console I can think of and they look to be in near to perfect condition. While 3000 Euros is a lot of money, it doesn't seem unreasonable for a minimum bid. I can't wait to see ho...
