Re: Warhammer 40K: Boltgun Contains An Awesome Throwback To Games Workshop's Musical Past

Bloody hell! That's brought back some memories. I had that album on cassette and played it to death.

I think my favourite track was the Dark Future set one which started off with a snippet from a DJ on some post-apoc radio station.

Which, weirdly enough, is also what London Calling the The Clash is about.

I may have to go an give it a listen later, see how many of the lyrics I can remember.

"Pulling on my metal boots,
Stepping out with you."

Re: Anniversary: Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Is 20 Today

This is definitely one of my favourite games. It was built with the 3D graphics overlaying an 8-directional movement grid which meant it largely avoided that annoying situation of accidentally jumping at just the wrong angle.
The result was a game that made you feel as though it wanted you to win, wanted you to feel like you were just that good at wall-running and leaping across spike-filled pits.
The time rewinding aspect was great as well, it worked so neatly to reduce the amount of repetition required when you messed up a section.

Re: Insanely Rare Nintendo M6 Demo Unit Goes Up For Auction On eBay

I used to hate getting dragged out shopping with my parents when I was a kid and these sort of units made it just about bearable. I had a ZX Spectrum at home but no console until the SNES so it was a world of difference.
I remember playing a Goonies game on a demo NES in Makro (big trade discount place like Costco) on one particularly long and boring trip.
