It's a nice version - looks great in HD.
Ended up getting Space Channel 5 Part 2 for £1.69 as well. Thats £1.69 for a 1.66gb install. Pretty close ratio.
Also rebought SOR2 vanilla for £1.69, inexplicably. It's kinda for the cheevz but also in a "I wanna support SEGA" kinda way.
That's *wrong*. If I was on fire, would SEGA arrive via helicopter to put my own personal fire out with a cynical piss?
(don't think so.)

Another one - Generations
Outside the basic premise of Grandparents, parents, kids being three generations of a family it's such a pop-culture empty term that continues to grow in misuse. The current OK Boomer wave simply reflects the level of ignorant use of the term. They're so amazingly poorly defined (I'm pretty much simultaneously Gen X, Gen Y and a Millennial all at the same time), somehow don't really exist pre-Baby Boomer and are essentially something that exists for no other reason than to make negative sweeping generalisations about people in exactly the same way we're otherwise instructed its wrong to do.
For those who regularly rely on those classifications and think Millennial or OK Boomer is a suitable, accurate or clever response to anything - they're not responding to a problem, they're part of it. A little less generational bias, a little more realism.
And the fact that someone responding to this with OK Boomer would be an expected response merely confirms the accuracy of this irk

Also make no F*****G sense whatsoever too, baby boomer generation was post war late 50's early 60's.
Not that any of these halfwit kids would even know what ww2 was anyway.

"I hate the younger generation!"
Anyway, I don't think that's quite true about Boomers. The Boomer generation goes from 1945/6 up till the early 60s I believe. My Mum was born in 1945 and considers herself a Boomer, which I would say is accurate.
I agree generations generally aren't all that helpful and are often misunderstood though. Some of my work concerns financial services businesses, many of whom still seem to think of Millennials as 'young people', when they really aren't - most of us are in our thirties now.

Depends on your perspective but I know a lot of industries are desperate to appeal to Millennials as much as possible, as they're the key 'wealth accumulators' now (Boomers have the most cash but, basically, are going to die a lot sooner and many are already retired so not making a whole lot more money).
