    The original Fallout games (1, 2, Tactics) are all free on GOG for the next day or so if anyone's interested!

    I actually downloaded these the last time they were available free on GOG. never actually played them though! :pac:

    MY GOD! The potential for such a game in THREE DEE!

    I played it when it was out in the arcades, back in '89.
    A mere boy I was at 17, the young Ciderman stalked the arcades after college, looking for girls with all their own teeth great games to play.
    In an arcade on Bachelors Walk, near the bridge, they had a full size articulated cab of Galaxy Force II, and it was awesome! :pac:
    I didn't get back to the arcade for a couple weeks, but when I did the cab was gone :(
    I remember looking forward to the Megadrive version but reviews were terrible and I never bothered.
    I must get this one asap!
    Turn Nostalgia up to 11! :cool:

    Anyone else find this hilarious. Everyone was waiting for Snes titles to appear in 3D and Sega have trumped them instead :D

    Will be downloading this the moment it's available. Thank feck it's the arcade version, the Megadrive one is dreadful.

    Nintendo can't even be bothered to give us Super Metroid without burned in German subtitles, let alone in 3D.

    Would look amazing if they used similar techniques that Sega are using.

    Bloody hell,
    I think it would be trouser custard time if they released a 3d Super Metroid.
    A 3d Metroid Prime Trilogy might finish me altogether.

    I grabbed this yesterday. Not put much time into it but the 3D effect is decent.

    Joke's on him, SOR 2 was running full blast in his attic last weekend - much to everyone's enjoyment :D

    Picked up Galaxy Force II and Ecco. They really do look great. It's like Galaxy Force was made for 3D.

    The sooner someone hacks this 3D engine and gets it running with other roms the better! :)

    Theres a CEX opening in Cork very soon for the first time,
    just walked passed and saw them putting up the shelving!

    I know quite a few of you guys have purchased many GETS! in the CeX in Dublin.

    Do you find it reasonably priced?

    Even for other items besides games?

    Well, when I was a mere boy I got to play a bit of Pong on a neighbours Binatone.
    Ah yes, you think the Commodore/Sinclair, Sega/Nintendo, Sony/MS console rivalry is where it's at? Try Binatone Vs Ingersoll!
    And if I look or sound like I'm in my 50s is down to the stress of moderating you shower, maybe a little to do with the day job. ..

    They're a bit of a retro haven in the UK, depending on the operator. The oldest I've seen'em stock here is PS2/GCN. They're grand enough, prices are fair, but when they get a rarity, it's gonna be properly priced.

    It's probably from an episode of art attack. All you need is some card, a scissors and PVA glue!

    Got to wonder what all those little rooms are for and why they need windows.

    Is there a lot of admin work to get through on a Star Destroyer?
