Spectrum, yess.

Well i was lucky there. Anyway apology accepted.

[eLhabib]

spectrum? wow that's way cool. I tried to get my hands on one for quite some time, but I have given up. I do own an old pong game tho.

ahem, sorry, back on topic...

[Concept]

I was always more of a C64 man myself at the time.

System 3. Last Ninja.

Yes, please.

actually i do remember seeing the old pong game in our living room but i never played it so im guessing it wasnt our families seeing as i havent seen it since.

woah - I think I had that game - could you do summersaults and throw shurikens and move through a scrolling 2d level?

C64... hardcore

[Concept]

Last Ninja 1 and 2 were great. The second game featured some of the best use of the SID chip usage ever conceived., and was a fantastic action-adventure title in its own right.

You can find music and information about the games here: http://lastninja.lemon64.com/main.htm

There were plans for a current generation Last Ninja title on the Xbox years ago, but it's gone very quiet now, which probably isn't good news.

I love both the ZX Spectrum and C64... but the latter just had slightly more games that played to my favour,.

Ah - just remember that the game I was thinking of was called Ninja Commando... ah those were the days.

Makes you appreciate what loading times used to be about.

[Concept]

Certainly.

Although one of the benefits of the C64 was that it could play music during the loading. Last Ninja 2 sweetened the wait in particular with the Central Park/Sewer Loader tunes.

And then it promptly crashed.

Those were the days. I can't help but smile a little when I read of people complaining about Pure's loading times a while ago. Ten seconds is nothing.

Well the inland revenue wrote to say I`d been paying too much tax for four years. the amount was slightly more than the price of a new psp and pure - so what else was I to do?

I recommend Pure, and the PSP - both are lovely. I`m not going to say anything else because I think wipers who don`t have it will like it when they get it.... and they will enjoy finding out about it for themselves. :wink:

I bought it here: http://secure.sell247.com/svcdigital...sp?id=15915969

Not the bestest site to order from, but they do respond to email quickly. its a jap unit, value pack, ships from London so no taxes to UK/EU, delivery free in the UK, except a few remote postcodes. They also told me they would replace the unit if I had any dead pixels. However, it doesn`t say this on the site, they only told me in an email, so you should have all this confirmed for yourself if you want to buy from there. I don`t have any dead pixels anyway. For British people I think SVC is a bit more pricey than lik-sang/play-asia with taxes, but if your PSP is broken you don`t have as far to send it back and find out how good their warranty is. 8O

thanks lunar - it's always good to know where the best deals for europeans are as everyone keeps asking me where they should buy one when they see mine (and I don't know where the best deals are as I bought mine last year).
