I myself have found that the increase in gaming technology over the past few years has been incrediable.

Lets take a look at the past, there was once a game called 'Pong' which amazed millions, then there was Space Invaders which millions were adicted to in pubs and arcades around the world. Now to me these games in the time we are in now are very poor and would not even think of playing a game of it.

Although it seems that these games along with the old machines that ran them or in great demand and a lot (A LOT) of money is being spend to get them. Now this may surprise a few of you as well as myself but it seems people who were around my age (15) when they were around are desperate to own them once again as it holds a special place in their heart.

The only problem is there are very few around these days such as Amiga which went Bankrupt a while back (I think). I think an amiga was sold for $2000 in America along with games a while back. So hold on to your old Sega Mega Drives and Sonic games because they may be worth a small fortune in the near future, unless it is yourselfs who will be playing them in the future.

Thanks for reading SHEEPY

No, there's not enough gun action in it.
I got bored of it straight away.

Final Fantasy 9, 10, 11...you get the picture.....

Also: Driver 3, Colin McCrae 3.0, Suikoden III, Ridge Racer VI.

Strange, I can't seem to think of any original games, only sequels, I suppose that means I like the product and stick with what I know.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
