Mine's on order from Play.com (same price), sodding Play still say 'Awaiting Stock'.

Uridium for gooodness sake. Worth the price for that alone. Good Zappin' Turkey!
Impossible Mission! Also worth the price alone. 'Stay a while. Staaaay FOREVER!'
Winter Games was class as well.

A must-buy this one.

Therea a proper PAL version on the way, and apparently it'll have different games on it.

[Mad Gear]

Paradroid and Uridium
I'm in

No Bruce tho, boo.

Cool device for us old feckers to sigh and smile at,




And then chuck in the cupboard to never play again

Mine still works, so I don't need this. 8)

There sems to be a problem with this being in 60hrz. Many of the original games were made in 50hrz and they havent accounted for the speed increase.

This means a 17% increase in speed which messes up the timeing for some of the games, strangley enough this should be sorted for the pal release, how strange a pal game being better becuase of 50hrz lol

I'd love one full of all Codemasters C64 games. DJ Puff, CJ's Elephant Antics, the Dizzy and Seymour games, Vampire, Robin Hood, BMX Simulator...

No Thing On a Spring - I won't be taking part then.

Can anyone confirm this? Since mine hasn't been sent from Play.com I could cancel.

theres a review of it here its been brought up in a few reviews i think

Damn. I've read the Eurogamer article and am still a bit unsure. Uridium is a big draw for me and I'd be annoyed if it didn't make it into the PAL version.
I'm going to let it ride (still not posted by Play.com) and see what it's like.

I can always pick up the PAL version later on.

Provided the (Uridium) enemy waves aren't off kilter it should prove a bit of a challenge at the quicker pace.
