I've got to give Star Wars: Episode 1 The phantom meanace a mension as not only is it the solely decent Star-wars game ever to grace the playstation, but it got me gripped, and got me hooked. I know it was all just cartoon-y and shoddy graphics, but the use of a lightsaber was free-flowing and it made me really feel like i was really in charge of the game, and the only other game to make me feel that is the Outstanding Vice-city.

I Actually rented it from my local video-rental "Vidbiz", but i forgot to take the manual back and remebered the name. I recently purchased a second-hand copy from "Game" in my local high-street, but it did not work and i have never played the game since. I have seen it in a few stored, but i think £12 is a bit steep. If i ever have some spare change lying around, 'Twil be a purchase!

Cheers man!

I think the problem is because Ive used degrees rather than radians, so the jump it a little large... Something for the future I reckon.

btw, it should be fixed to work with thje tsandard Micrsoft VM now...yaya! :)

Tropico is a damn good game- Making people heretics was never so much fun. There is so much to do in the game- kill rivals, build up the economy, keep the people happy- Rarely has a game so complete been made. Unfortunately the gameplay isn't perfect, but very few games have the variety.

I've not had a chance to test it on Microsofts JVM, so I just hope it works! :)

Syndicate on the PS2.

This was a coming of age game for Bullfrog, a company which many of you young uns will have never heard of, but hey, it's good for us old 20+ old timers to be nostalgic about the good old days of the early 90s :D
