The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Right here is my attempt at a little story, nowhere near the usual forum standards no doubt but give it a read and let me know what you think. Go on, go on go on go on.
Ant sat on the bottom stair eagerly awaiting the arrival of the post and without a doubt one of the greatest games ever to grace the planet, Metal Gear Solid 4. The year was 2012, Ant was a happily married man but still had a part of his life devoted to games. His Playstation 5 was like a third child and had a special place under the television.
The letterbox opened and a few letters and then a parcel dropped onto the floor, within an instant he had managed to rip open the parcel and pull out a box, to his surprise there was no game, just a piece of paper. Rage filled his head as he read the small note.
Special Reserve is no more! Ha ha ha ha ha
He immediately got on the phone to customer services to complain and get his copy of the game, the answer phone kicked in "We have taken control, phone 01111 555 444" Ant dialled the number and was surprised to hear a woman's voice "Welcome to DirtyGamePlay how may I help?"
Ant hung up the phone and then called his good friend Rasta, "Rasta, something awful is going on at Special Reserve."
Rasta had also called to complain and discovered the weird phone messages, he checked the web to reveal blank pages except for one page he managed to find.
"Help!
Special Reserve has been taken over by masked men armed with guns, I haven't got long before they find me and lock me away with the others. Members send help now, our future depends on it"
You see Special reserve were one of three companies worldwide that sold games and consoles, they weren't available anywhere else. DirtyGamePlay and BuyFromUs where the other two but BuyFromUS sold many other products too, they found it hard to compete with special reserves low low prices and enough was enough and they decided to take action and try shut them down for good.
Ant was a computer programmer by trade, he knew everything there was to know, Rasta was kind of the opposite, joined the armed police before setting up his own bodyguard company, himself and Stryke were the two bodyguards who worked for many famous celebrities including the high chief Tony. The managed to get in contact with a few of the other forum regulars they had become good friends with and hatched a plan to rescue and save special reserve. Wookie and Goaty arrived first in Goatys A-Team style van, Rasta and Stryke were next and lastly Sheepy who had a major hangover.
"Out last night then Sheepy?" asked Ant.
"Last night? I've been in the pub since 6.30 this morning" replied Sheepy. Goaty and Ant being the brains of the bunch hatched the plan, Ant could get them in and would try hack into the DirtyGamePlay mainframe to find a weakness in the company.
They pilled in the van and Goaty sped of towards Special Reserve HQ, he popped the tape in the cassette player.
"This is my band, ohh yeah we ROCK!!" said Goaty.
Wookie and Rasta played air guitar in the back as Stryke played on his GameBoy Maga Advance. Ant went on-line on his laptop and showed the true potential of his abilities, within minutes he was into the DirtyGamePlay system and had found some interesting facts, he also checked through the special reserve computer system to try find more clues as to what to expect when they got there. Sheepy sat up,
"I don't feel to good" said Sheepy.
" I pitty the fool who is sick in my van" screamed Goaty. Sheepy let out one huge burp before lying back in his chair.
It wasn't too long before they arrived close to Special Reserve HQ.
"Ok we are here, wonder if the woman with big hair and smile was working today?"
Ant worked on the door entry and security system while Rasta, Sheepy and Stryke and a quick kickabout with a football round the corner.
"Right guys I am in"
Rasta appeared round the corner first, he pulled out a gun from his jacket.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ant shouted.
"Just a little protection." Rasta replied
"Has anyone else got protection?" asked Ant.
Stryke and wookie both pulled out guns and Goaty pulled out a large stick.
"Bash em wiv stick time me thinks" said Goaty.
Sheepy then walked over.
"Protection? Er yeah I do"
Sheepy handed Ant a condom he had in his wallet, the rest laughed as Ant threw it back at Sheepy.
"Not that kind of protection, gah"
They entered the building and split up to find Tony and the other staff members and also try stop the hostages, they knew that by phoning the police they would have put Tony and co in danger and that was a risk none of them wanted to take. Ant, Sheepy and Wookie went up to the top floor and Rasta, Stryke and Goaty went to the basement to work their way up.
Both found nothing until they met on the 14th floor, Sheepy and Goaty went to the toilet while the others waited outside the boardroom where they could here voices.
On the toilet wall Goaty noticed the words "Snuggly eat my shirt"
"I've heard about that Snuggly thing" Sheepy said.
"Yeah me too, Apparently it is huge, bigger than wookie. A huge beast. But if you believe that then you are a fool, even more than a newbie"
As they walked back to meet the others Sheepy felt a little sick and rushed back to the loo.
The others entered the room to find all the staff members tied up, they untied them all but before they could move a team of armed men stormed into the room and it looked over for them all. The armed men where getting ready to execute them all when suddenly a huge roar was heard down the hall, load footsteps getting closer to them could be heard. Then a huge blue coloured beast smashed through the door. The guards opened fire but caused no harm to it at all. The beast then started throwing the armed men around the room, after he was finished there was a pile of bad guys at one end of her room.
"Snuggly you saved me" shouted Tony. Sheepy then walked in to the room "Whats going on? Don't suppose anyone seen a huge blue thing, I kind of opened a door and it kind of got away, ohh there it is."
The DirtyGamePlay chairman forced me to sign a contract offering him 90% control of Special Reserve, we have to catch him before this goes public. They all got into Goaty's van, everyone apart from Tony and Snuggly. Tony got his chaffeur to drive him and Snuggly wasn't allowed to leave as he had to stay behind and keep guard.
Ant, Goaty and Tony decided that they would be the best to negotiate with the evil DirtyGamePlay chairman. As they entered his office he gave out an evil laugh.
"If it isn't my new slave and his chums. What do you want"
"Give him back his company and stay out of his business or we tell the world your secrets." Shouted Ant.
"Secrets! I have none you little liar."
"Maybe this will jog your memory. Mmmm let me think, you were born a woman, you still live with your mum, your third nipple. Need I go on" said Ant who had discovered this while hacking into their mainframe.
"Ok enough, you can have it back, just don't tell anyone ok?"
With these words Special Reserve was once again saved. Tony rewarded Ant and the others by giving them exclusive discounts when buying from Special Reserve, they also got a lot of free stuff too. Snuggly became the official mascot of special reserve and soon Snuggly merchandise became the biggest selling toys and teddy's at Christmas.
Everyone lived happily ever after. The End………
Hope you enjoyed it!

Good to see you are working hard at uni then! LOL
Very good once again!

Everyone lived happily ever after. The End......
Or so they all thought. A few weeks later Ant and Rasta were enjoying a nice walk around the park, Rasta took out his GBA3 and began to show Ant just how good it was.
"Nah Rasta, it's nintendo. They will always suck!"
As they were arguing Rasta noticed a strange looking bloke lying on a bench.
"Hey Ant do you think that guy is hurt? Better go check."
As they wandered up to him he pulled out a gun and then two others apperared from behind some trees. It was a trap, and a good one at that.
"Eh Rasta I think this could be a trap?"
"Well Duhhh!"
The three men took Rasta and Ant in a van to a small run down shop on the edge of town. It was dark and dusty and smelled like rotten cheese.
"Mmm cheese." said Rasta as he was thrown on the floor in front of this bald middleaged man.
Ant didn't go quietly, he kicked his feet and was screaming about how his lawyer would make sure you guys get 20 years for this. They threw him down on the ground too.
"Aww that hurt you big oaf."
The bald headed man spoke.
"So you are the two who took part in ruining my plans? How dare you. I have been told you are notables, well take note, help me or die. I have plans and the only was to fufil them is to destroy special reserve.But as you both know the one they call Snuggly is very aggressive and can only be controlled by Tony or by the most respected Notables. So who is the most respected notable?"
Rasta stood up, "Err well em, Nobody knows, we all are."
Ant stood up "Emm thats not totally true Rasta, you see em well there is this one notable.."
"shut up Ant!" yelled Rasta.
As these word left his mouth the bald headed man pulled out a gun and shot them both. The both fell to the ground and lay at the feet of the bald headed man.
********************
Rasta and Ant both woke up back in the park slumped against a bench. An old lady was prodding Ant with a stick.
"Sonny you ok?"
"Hey that bloomin well hurts, quit it."
There was a letter in Rasta's pocket, he opened it to reveal a note.
Dear Not-Ables we have your family and unless you co-operate with us then you will lose them. We want you to go in and take Snuggly away so that tomorrow we can strike, any probles or trouble and you will never see your family again.
Rasa imediately gathered the rest of the folk that had previously helped, they met at Goaty's house. Sheepy sat on the big comfy chair strumming on a guitar, Ant stood up and spoke.
"Ok we all know the problem, how can it be fixed?"
Everyone had a puzzled face, nobody was really sure. Goaty then walked over to the television and put in a DVD, "Time for some insperation"
"What? Have you got the erotic whitch project?" said Sheepy who was then given a nasty stare by Ant.
"No you fool, I pitty the fool. It is the A-Team" said Goaty.
Ideas started flowing as they all thought long and hard about what to do, Rasta and Ant used Ants expert computing knowledge to try work out how long they were in the van for and where this old run down building could be. Wookie worked on how to get snuggly to stay in the building but to fool them into believing he had left. Sheepy sat in the comfy chair and drank a whole bottle of JAck Daniels before falling to the floor. About 20 minutes later he woke up and realised he was wearing womens clothes "Hey what the? Ok where am I and what did I do"
The others laughed and then thought of how to get this plan to work.
Sheepy staggered to his feet "I have got it, I've got it. We can dress wookie up in a furry blue costume and pretend he is Snuggly, then he can go with Rasta and Ant in goaty's van to the run down shop and take out the guards there and rescue there family and then we can all wait back at SR headquarters with Snuggly to surprise the attackers."
Everyone looked shocked as Sheepy once again colapsed to the floor, "What a great plan, did somebody write all that down, I don't think he will remeber all that when he wakes up" said Goaty.
The next day they did as planned, Ant and Rasta had discovered the loaction of the run down shop and had taken a dressed up Wookie in the van there, The bald headed man and some of his hench men had waited outside SR headquarters for this to happen before breaking in. The rest stayed in the basement with Snuggly waiting on Ant and Rasta to inform them when they had got there family back.
Wookie, Rasta and Ant stepped out the van and wookie took a shotgun out from under the seat.
"We are going to do this properly, in and out, no fooling around."
Rasta and Ant armed themselves with some rocks, they kicked in the door to find two guards playing dominoes. "Dominoes nooooo," Shouted Ant as he threw two rocks in quick succesion at the guards knocking them both out cold. Wookie got on the Radio to tell the others that they has got the families out safe.
*******************
Back as SR the others made there way to the boardroom to once again find Tony and the other Staff tied up. They barged in and showed the bald man todays paper. He was surprised to see himself on the front page. The headline read, "Crappy Business is actualy a woman with three nipples!"
He fell to his knees, "Guards kill them" As the armed men raised their guns Snuggly broke through one of the walls, small puddles appeared at the feet of the armed men as they dropped their guns. Tony who had been untied by Sheepy stood up, "Put an end to this once and for all Snuggly." With these words Snuggly picked up the bald man and ate him.
Now it really is the END!
