    None of this 360 lark going on around here mind*.




    Wanted a white Saturn for a while now and took the plunge the other night after a few beers...

    *Although we do also own a 360

    Thats part of the reason for getting a Jap (or multi region) Saturn. We had a few good games released for the Saturn but they had a flood of them.

    Ah the good old CD32. There was a really good tetris / bloxeed (?) style game for that where you had to switch between different coloured lasers (rotate the 'ship'?) to shoot them out.

    ...Google...

    Ah "Vital Light". Check it out if you haven't seen it. Quite good. Ooh and that Marvin game - "Marvins Marvelous Adventure" (sort of a mix between Mario and Alex Kidd IIRC). Ooh and Brian The Lion (ROAR...! I think the CD32 version had better music and possibly a bit more parallax than the AGA version)... And Roadkill... That was good too (so is the AGA version - CD32 had nothing special added)
