Aw, I love that stick. It was the 1st decent joystick I owned for my Amiga - the only other two I'd had before that were a horrible leaf-switch monstrosity with no travel, and an equally horrible and the horrible unresponsive stick bundled with the Sinclair Spectrum +2A. So the Atari stick was a masterpiece of…

Or they could have done this.

The very fact that they had to put a notch in the top of the controller in order to allow players to place the cord there means Sega were tacitly admitting they had the cord in the wrong place anyway. If they were absolutely hell bent on the cord coming out the bottom, they wouldn't have bothered with the notch. It's…

Actually, the Mega Drive/Genesis had a Sega-branded modem that attached to the back of the console long before X-band. And the Famicom could be used as an internet banking terminal. So.... no.

Meh. It wasn't that brilliant. There were some great ideas and Sega shovelled peripherals at it like crazy, but I honestly don't remember it being so amazingly awesome as to be better than the PlayStation 2. I think because the Dreamcast showed so much potential in such a short lifespan, that fans can get a little…

Or, they could have had the cord come out the top of the controller in the 1st place, like every other controller.

Toy Commander was awesome. I'd buy a Dreamcast just to play that again.

It's a bit complicated, but as I understand it, it goes like this. Sega were making a lot of noise about their CD add-on for the Genesis and how it would change gaming. Nintendo decided they should get in on that action. So, they partnered with Sony, who they somewhat fortuitously already had a license with (Sony…

Centigrade. Uses the freezing and boiling points of water to define its scale. And it makes sense, unlike that silly Fahrenheit system. Try it - go on, I dare you. You'll never look back.

I'm not sure that people who thought a massive X moulded onto the lid of a console that was as big as an early 90s VCR, with that horrible green jewel thing in the centre, combined with the monstrosity that was the original Xbox controller with it's naff oval buttons are necessarily the people best equipped to…

Skype was on the PSP before & after they were bought by Microsoft. Skype is also on the PS Vita. So I don't think that's an issue.

IMHO his best performance was as the leader of the cannibals in The Last of Us.

Thor: God of Thunder on the DS was good.

Meh. It'll do.

Adopt me?

This. Claiming the Vita has no games is a lazy way of saying "There are no games I'm interested in". That doesn't mean there are no games, and certainly doesn't mean there are no good games. It's had a slow start, but that's unsurprising when Sony are going to be committing a lot of resources internally to the PS4. A…

Bullshit opinion dressed up as fact. Plunkett, you've sunk to a new low. Fuck you. You don't speak for everyone.

Not dissimilar to the electric submersible kayaks the Royal Navy had during WWII - they replaced the two-man Chariot's. You'd paddle in across the surface, dive down as you got nearer your target (typically a ship in port), using the electric motor for power; cut through any submarine nets (the pilot wore breathing…

And Good Old Games carries a large number of Mac titles. And then there's a huge array of emulators for everything from Super Nintendo, Sega Mega Drive, NES, Master System, etc, etc, SCUMM VM, Dos Box... there's a huge wealth of options for Mac gamers now.

Good luck with that when we move over to 4K HDTV.
