Smash TV was awesome, I used to play with my mate every weekend before we went clubbing. I also managed to solo it and get all the keys for the treasure room
loved the Robo Cop reference "I'd buy that for a dollar"
Only had Total Carnage on my Amiga and it was a piss poor port of the arcade version
Played an emulated console version recently and it was crap too.
Soldiers of Fortune was a blatant Total Carnage rip off, but that game fuckin naied it.
Another classic need to pick up the second game now.
One of my fav games Rocking n Racing used to spend so many hours playing absolute classic game.
Bought Lylat Wars and Doom for the N64 this morning from a local bank holiday market.No boxes but £6 for them both ain't bad.
Very excited if this is true, the SNES was the first system I ever put any serious time in to. Hopefully Nintendo can sort themselves out with stock too, had my mini NES classic order cancelled three times and ended up never receiving one

was bored this morning so decided to have a little project. i dug out my old amiga 1200 which had a stunningly large 64MB hdd which died about 20 years back and decided to see if i could get it up and running again.
i pulled out an old dell latitude P II (circa windows 95/98) and found it had an ide hdd installed. i had no idea how big this ancient piece of kit was so i just ripped it out and binned the lappy.
a couple of screws and the drive was in the amiga... now the moment of truth...
power on... NO BLUE SMOKE!
ok now to see if my floppys still worked...
click... grate, grate, grate... poof... workench 3.0 ...
boot...
this looks promising.
i ran the drive prep software... it says 3996MB usable.
i ran the setup and OH! my... 3 partitions of 2.75gig each. the inital software detected the drive at 4 gig but 1s partitioned it allowd me access to the remaining 3-sh. so now i have nearly 7 gigs of hdd space...
7 gigs you say... yeah thats HUGE!...
well yeah for this system its bonkers big... i have a library of just over 3000 disks. and this little drive will allow me to put em all on it and still have room for more...
why am i so chuffed? because the amiga is where i learned to program a second language.
i also had hardware level access to the system devices which means 1s i connect to the web. the world is mine for the taking... and i want 1 million dollars... (and sharks with lasers on the heads)
but seriously.. i basically got my old amiga running and can play some classics as they were originally intended.
happy days...
I bought Perfect Dark and Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the N64 from a second hand shop in York.Both boxed(although a little tatty)and complete with booklets for£25.Perfect Dark is a decent first person perspective shooter and still plays well,mortal Kombat is also good but has only 30 characters due to cartridge copacity compared with the 37 characters available on the PlayStation and Saturn versions etc.It also lacks a few stages and suffers from inferior sound quality, however they are a few cheats to unlock.secret characters and all the fatalities are there.
I received one of those mini entertainment systems as a Christmas present(they look a bit like a mini NES)with 620 classic titles preloaded.Absolutely brilliant fun,I'm currently playing Silkworm which I used to have on the Amstrad CPC 464 with a green screen monitor.So its nice to see it in colour.
One of my fav all the classic games never getting rid of this

And rightfully so! It's still one of the best games ever made, even after all these years. I only completed it for the 1st time last year on my NES Classic. Those later stages are really tough!
