Well, I'm off to ebay. That looks like Star Raiders on steroids.
I haven't bought the cart yet but I've read through the manual and played it once or twice on an emulator. So basically, you have to rescue people on different planets in different star systems. At the same time though, there's an enemy that is also trying to take control of various bases etc. If they capture one of your planets (if you don't defend it in time rather, or die trying) then when trying to recap that planet your controls are reversed and there's ambient explosion sounds. Their spaces are marked with red on the map screen. It's honestly really cool.

It's fun trying to explain to my friend on facebook how to get a better picture quality out of her N64 so that Goldeneye doesn't look so crappy on her TV :lol:



Sort of impossible, I know, but every little bit helps.

Really tired of seeing Top X lists. I hope people are behaving in them or other mods are reading them because I'm not. :?

Occasionally I'll go into the What made you smile/what ticked you off thread to talk about something good, but I'll find that the most recent message has some kind of news that, whatever it might be, is bad enough to make me feel guilty about posting something good.

So I don't post.

Maybe that's weird of me, but its true. Anybody else ever do that?

Thank the deity someone started another one! Maybe General Gaming will be nothing but top lists by the end of this month.

The list thing was fun for a while but I prefer discussions. Even though half of what I say around here is usually ignored.
