As you all know very well I've recently purchased Body Harvest for the n64 in a spontaneous moment of reminiscing. It should arrive soon, and it's given me a taste for reliving the greatest video-games era of all time - that of the N64.
Last night I was up until 1:30AM reading my very first copy of N64 magazine (Issue 18 for me), which had previews of Body Harvest, Silicon Valley and Zelda (where they thought the Kokiri forest was called the Maze Woods, and that the Deku tree was the central hub for all the dungeons). There was also a review of Banjo Kazooie which made me remember what an amazing game it was. Does anyone remember Click Clock wood and how you had to change the seasons to make that plant grow, and how you had to become a bee as well. What an amazing, amazing level.

Well anyway this has all given me a retro fetish, and I've just bought 3 Dreamcast controllers for £3 each so that I can play Sydney 2000 and Powerstone multiplayer. I am also going to re-buy Banjo Kazooie (it was my first N64 game), and maybe ISS 98 which is only £3, even though I'd never play it. Along with Second Sight, Fifa 2004 and Madden 2004, this month will have cost me roughly £98. Oh dear oh dear, I hope it's just a phase.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
