Commodore Apocalypse

Backwards compatibilty is not going to happen

Thats a real shame. It really adds to the appeal of a console to me.

Nevermind.

Hmmm... I may be swayed by Nintendo, but, I haven't really given the existing console much of a chance to be honest with you folks. Partially due to friends not being inspired by the games and thus, we don't play them as a group. I tried with Mario Kart and they just sat there and said the graphics ...

Which one based upon your current affections will you be looking towards?

Or will you wait to see which one gets hacked first?

Or the one that has the most power !

Myself, based on sheer usage, I look forward to the next Xbox (of the chipped variety).

I posted the US list the other day, strangely. This was the one I meant to post. Probably of no interest, but here ya go :wink: >(1) You know the profound meaning of 'Wax On, Wax Off' >(2) You know that another name for a keyboard is a synthesizer. >(3) You believed that 'by the power of Greyskull, ...

Have a glance at these (nicked from a website) very strange memories! 1. your fondest childhood memory is when Skippy got his head stuck in the banister 2. you relax by putting on your legwarmers and dancing to the "Footloose" soundtrack 3. you think the Two Coreys are "totally awesom...

Grabbed' by Rare is really impressive for what it is - a simple arcade style bash'em up. The graphics and touches are lovely ... ahhhhhhhh. Like a highly polished and high-res N64 game. I love the references to the old ZX Spectrum games throughout. Very nice. It reminds of their attempt at a Luigi's...

tHaNk - yOu

Thank-you sir James of drum'n'bass land

Hmmm.... sounds odd. Hard to verify whether it is the witterings of the insane or indeed an odd phenomenon. "Extraterrestrial visitor in Russian province" - check that story out! Why is it that when they find an ET, invariably the photographic evidence tends to feature a shot using the che...

lol not giving you my email address after the last incident

You still think that was me don't you

Somebody in recent times has hijacked my .beardfreak.co.uk suffix and has been using it as an address to mass mail people .. grrrrrrrr

Could you mail me your home addy please James?

beardo69@blueyonder.co.uk - use this address - tar !

has been around for sometime now with PlusNet and Tiscali

Ah - but you have to be a BT customer you see

Yes, the limiting is a tad unfair IMO. I assume it is to put off file sharing. I can see why, but in effect, that will probably put off people from joining in the first place. Being as most people like to pluck free stuff out of the digital ether and use it. Like... music, games, videos. The Blueyon...

Are you offering

Still using dial-up, so, hmmmm .... interesting, glad I held out. Looks like the flood gates are opening at last.

... it works

It was some kind of topical news show, like a slot on BBC News 24 ... I thought, blimey, it's Mike's site ...

That site and the forums has really caught on man.

I suppose in a way, although they are con-men, they are also the "partial" product of global Imperialism and it's effect upon human materialistic desires. (IE. want, want, want). In a way, "if they do" come from that country, I can't blame them too much for their activity. I'd lo...

Excellent

I'm sure your website was mentioned on the TV the other day you know!

My friend - it is the price of the Jolly Roger

A decent emu to try is the latest GBA one. Superb infact. I have been happily playing "Warioland 4" for a couple of hours. You do need to tweak the options for most games, but once sorted, I can't believe how good it is. Full screen (if you like) - filtering options - savestates - control ...

Tell ya what - I'll swap ya for a US GC ?

Erm... hehe... thought not.

Arrrr - Bub & Bob - always nice to see :cry: sniff + like the general colour scheme. I'd just keep it simple and focus on content. Like stuff for sale and the forums. Interesting to see how the site fares, in light of the HUGE amount of retro stuff out there already. Time will tell & all the...

Anybody know how to pop a form into a site that signs a person up to a mailing list. I haven't got a clue at the moment ?

hmmmm......

Halo 2 on emule

Has to be fake or leaked early code. Last I read, it has been delayed for a few months.
