I agree. It's even pointless on the GameBoy, SNES, Wonderswan. . .(3 years later). . .and the Nes. What's the point in pressing it to exit a level? You may as well just finish the level or go back to the start or reset the console. It's more comfy on your hands to do that anyway. . .

A lot of people on here are older than me then. I only know that Ant is younger than me and the odd "newbie". I am still not that young though as I am 14 which I know a few people on here are too.

p.s Why did everyone ignore me when I was usin gmy old account. Do people still not show any respect towards Newbies then.

Lol!

I just remembered what my tag line is! No need to be concerned though, thats just a song i really like.

As for the cadbury's causeway stuff, my mate had a whole book of alternative names for things.

Guess what a purple ended womb broom is.

Some of then were hilarious.

Now i've got nothing against homosexuals, but i found this alternative *very* amusing: Heamerrhoid (sp?) Hitman.

Im 19 and to be honest its good to hear what older people have to say, you guys come up with some good topics and posts.

Okay, combining this with your tagline, I am concerned.

Stepping away from birthdays and back toward the serious topic of buttons....

The 'select' button is used in a surprising amount of games (though usually to help you quit the level you're on on platform games). You use it to do fantastically interesting things like do a 'fake fireball' or perform a 'fake roll' on Street Fighter Alpha 3 (ps1).

If its useless buttons you're after, I give you the left shoulder button on the N64 pad!!!!

Did any game use that??? I don't think a single one of my games does, except maybe to turn the map on on Turok 2 (but who uses the map on Turok???)

All the games use Z rather than L, whats the point in that button or that pad or that system!??!!?!?!!

*Tarrant sobs into half full bucket*

... sorry guys, I've still not gotten over it...
