        They're actually good games. I remember liking Unreal Tournament on the DC. Alien Front is a gem that doesn't get much recognition. HotD2 is great with the gun.

          Yeah Alien Front is ace arcade fun, only shame is there's not much too it.

            Yeah, that's the bad point. It could have been a really satisfying game with more substantial content.

                Agreed - had a lot of fun with it over the years. Did you ever try it online with the mic?

                  I never did, I think at the time my mic didn't work, Seaman never did anything I said, or maybe the game was just like that

                    You weren’t trying to play the Japanese version by speaking Engrish, were you?

                      After weeks & more weeks of waiting Arkanoid finally turned up, seems london to leeds is further than i thought lol. Played for a few hours so far it's pretty fun although the artstyle not as charming as the original but playing using a paddle controller makes it a lot more enjoyable managed to get to round 35 before i stopped for the afternoon.

                        Yeah, using a paddle really elevates Arkanoid. Makes me feel like playing Arkanoid 2 on the Famicom.

                          Arkanoid 2 Revenge of Doh I think was the very first game I played on a 16 bit machine, a friend's Atari ST... it was controlled by the mouse which made it tricky if I recall, however getting the shoot em up power up was great...ended up getting it for the Amiga.

                            Heh no I had the American one but nothing ever happened was most frustrating, I reckon the mic was dud.

                              I always had you down as a batty boy, did you play it on the speccy? I always thought it was better than arkanoid.

                                Batty was great! Got it free with YS I seem to recall.
