EVIL BETTY APPROVED.

Ken shot the food.

Sounds like you get it, exactly.

I was on holiday.

...Tommy Chong.

EVIL BETTY APPROVED.

They did patch the bugs in the end, you know...

I gotta agree with oyn... Zarch/Virus was fantastic, and Frontier/FFE were flawed masterpieces which improved so much on the original Elite, but were really let down by it's adherence to Newtonian physics during space combat (and there was FFE's buggy first release, but it *was* fixed).

Are you Ian Bell?

EVE wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Elite and it's sequels. Know your gaming history.

The Yashichi always gets all the glory. What about Capcom's other power-ups/bonuses that appeared in their games throughout the 80's and 90's, such as the poor old forgotten Capcom Cow?

In the UK we had Star Fleet (X-Bomber) for our giant-combining mecha fix.

Mmmmm.... Extraneous voice commands!

For future reference, Owen: If you're looking for a British term for jail, you can't go far wrong with "in the clink"

I guess to the young-uns of today 16 bit machines are considered early, but in my opinion it feels a bit of a cop-out to use SNES/Mega Drive games as examples when both machines had dedicated hardware for sampled sounds, and speech in games had become somewhat commonplace by that point.

It certainly is. At least in all versions of SoR2 and the Japanese version of 3, and stated in the manual as such.

So you should. Streets of Rage 2 is possibly one of the greatest games ever made.

GRAND UPPAH!

As somebody who went to this years Eurogamer, this is basically went down for Eurogamer to make this decision: Virgin Gaming had very scantily clad girls parading around the floor with QR codes on the back of their hotpants.

And yet somehow it STILL looks more like Yoda than that awful puppet in the original release of The Phantom Menace.
