Sounds stupid doesn't it, but how about without a console, this is what Sega are doing. Pace Micro Tech make those cool sky digital boxes, you know the ones, you've probably all got one by now. And they have joined with Sega to produce sega games in the set top boxes, whether us Sky Digital customers will have to pay extra I don't know but it is quite exciting that's for sure.
The reason I bought it up was because I think that playing games through your sky box is rather fun, I have been playing beehive Bedlam all year and it is soooo fun. As you may know I am not one for puzzle games but I can see how addictive and even FUN...they can be!
I think that we are bound to see some great sega classics on our set top boxes, I hope we at least see sonic 1 or maybe Sonic 3D...but whatever happenes it will be fun. There are loads of games on Sky now about 10 in all, I think...all of them are basic 2D puzzle and adventure type things but fun nonetheless!
I can't wait for this Sega thing to get going, I just want to be able to play Sonic 1 again without having to sandblast the dust of my MegaDrive, which took 2nd place to my N64 about 4 years ago!

And for the Reptillian Fruit Cakes amongst you I will go over this one more time, Sega!, (COMPUTER GAMES MANUFACTURER!) are going to be producing (COMPUTER GAMES...THE ONES YOU KNOW AND LOVE) on PACE set-top boxes.
This is all about playing computer games, nothing to do with Animal Planet 1+ or anyother over-raed sky TV channel, and plus Sky TV is cool, Mr. 'I don't get to watch Premier League Matches!'
No Hard Feeling?
:o)

I haven't got one. (A sky digital box)
Don't want one either.
I don't need 200 channels of rubbish, when i've got my trusty games console.
Failing that, I have books!
I only watch a couple of programs on TV, then it's just the odd film or football match.
