"Special Reserve Idea"

I really love all the new stuff thats been done on the Special Reserve site especially the Top Posters Page.

However I was thinking it may also be useful to have a Top Ten claimed games list, or claimed DVD list for gameaday and filmaday respectively.

I think it would be a good idea and it may also help customers with their buying decisions.

What does everyone think.

Interesting - who is selling it a £9.99?

Sell Soul Calibur for less and actually sell virtua tennis.

Whilst on the subjest of winners lists, and tables etc, I have a question.

Why do you record the number of words that a member of ukchatforums has posted?

Also do you record characters, and is there any chance of showing the poster with the highset number of characters as well as posts and words.

That wouldn't lead to many people ending posts like this.

Thanks for reading

They do this in the Special Reserve mag so why not do it on the website aswell.

Tony, is is possible for Special Reserve to sell (and buy) 2nd games? Of course, they would have to be in good condition with all the manuals, packaging, etc.

Goldeneye is a great game mind, I have an unboxed version though which I got off my friend Ian when he sold me the N64.

Yes, but the tendency would be for more complex tables, bigger graphics and more pictures.

Actually one of the good reasons to install Netscape is that it will connect with an extremely poor resolution to the internet.

This came in handly when my Display drivers mucked up and I had to download new drivers...without Netscape I would have been ruined.

800x600 is considered the minimum resolution 'used' ...

(the people still using a 640x480 res are also the people not on the net... Its hard to run Win95+ in a 640x480 environment)

So to capture the optimum range of people 800x600 res is used...

Exactly. One of the first rule of webdesign: Lowest common denominator, and that very common denominator happens to be 800x600.
