Has anyone got any information about this old console?

A link or just general knowledge would be great. I just wanted to remember the old console because I haven't used one in ages.

Anyone?

Cheers.

ahhh!... well, if it was posted within, say, the last year, year and a half, then I can pretty much guarantee that its not me – either a cheesy co-incidence or some monkey faced ex-SR forum member with no imagination :)

- Did the guy say anything interesting?

I've seen Armitage on another games related forum.

I havnt used my old Armatige Shanks name anywhere for a year or so now...

There are a couple of sites with old posts from me using Armatige Shanks (e.g. Ciao!) but otherwise I've completly rejected the monika - it was pretty naff anyway :)

Hugo, are you still using your old SR name in another forums somewhere?

Shame about Turrican 3D though huh? :(

'From an interview with Manfred Trenz)
13) Ever have any disagreements with anyone through computer related activities?

Not really. The one and only big disagreements happended last year while developing Turrican3D.
The guys which did the 3D-Stuff wanted to make big money and did not really care about the
quality of the product. A typical syndrom in these days. End of the song:
T3D got stopped and will never be realased. Note to anybody out there:

Don't ask for details!'

bu-ZING!

Ever had Star Glider? That literally took 30 minutes to load. My longest loading Speccy game. It was even in polygonic wireframe 3D!

:D

The colours in the games were brilliant though! :-)

15 minutes in ...
