Yeah but Frac was awful. The collision detection was startling - you could be about a centimetre (on screen) away from anything and you'd still get hit by something nowhere near you.
Also, Ikari Warriors on thr NES was rubbish - you got to the end of a game and there was a bug in it preventing you from completing it.
I looked at my complete games collection last night and almost had a heart attack when I saw how many GC games I had. Surely I didn't buy that many? But, yes. I did.
Madness.

Whoops, I've actually had 19 games overall. Add Skies of Arcadia: Legends to the list of sold games.
I loved it, but really needed the cash, so I sold it to a mate. I'll buy it back some day and complete it again, just because it is brilliance.
