So is the Snes!!!


When I was younger and not yet able to get my hands on stuff I shouldn't I used to go round to my mate Tom's house and play Zelda till my eye's bled.


For me my gaming days were at their Zenith during the 4th generation (16bit) era and a about a year on the Playstation 1 after which I lost interest in gaming.


In all honesty if you gave me the option of taking the latest gaming technology or a Snes and my dad's knacked old P.C with Lands of Lore I'd take the latter any day.

Same here Keef. Me and my brothers had a Megadrive whilst my mate Tom had the Snes. I though they were both equally as good as each other but if memory serves me correctly Nintendo did tend to release more titles compared to Sega or were more willing to let outside software developers make games for their platform.

Sorry - I have not seen this.... also have been ill with Gastro Enteritis for 5 days! :(

It's great fun in a quick fix sort of way. I noticed last night in the pub, that though I was talking to my friends j was actually calculating rifle grenade trajectories over the maudsley.


I probably need help, plus floating onion is better at it than me, grrrrr

Spend a little time on the tutorial until you're happy. Also play about with the different plane control configurations and I find the external view on plane and tank much easier.


And I meant the game se?or onion, I'm well aware that it's time rather than skill that's pit me ahead.

Trials HD on XBox arcade. Marvellous, simple premise but controls beautifully. Bargain for a tenner too. It will bring a tear to the eye of anyone who remembers Eddie Kidd's Jump Start.


Was it Boneyard playing Dead Space? Got it in the bargain section the other day also for a tenner, quite enjoying it even if I have been there before in a Half Life meets resident evil via bioshock.

Trials HD is great - and the leaderboards are adddictive too


But it does lead to a LOT of swearing. Still oving the ragdoll animation when a head lands on a platform, but not the whole bike


I have only done the - ahem - trial version so far but will probably succumb and buy the whole thing

I meant more in the leaderboard way, so Geometry Wars, Trials and yes Battlefield, but will happily tack on to a game if I see you, though even if you party up you cam end up on opposing teams.


Battlefield is definitely aimed at the casual gamer Sean, very true to the arcade environment in which it sits. It is also a lot of fun.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
