The Pac-Man refract.

If you want to act like He-Man, grab a sword and stand on the peak of one the mountains in Valua then stick your sword into the sky screaming "I HAVE THE POWER!!".Then get struck by lightning just like He-Man.

I'm pretty sure that you can just edit the title of the first post of the thread.

This is quite true. A lot of video game makers used to be underground. Especially in the era of the c64 and early PC. BBSs rocked. Hell, that's where zzt was first distributed. The majority of them were fresh out of college and had spent their days there feeding tape into mainframes.

Sort of interesting to look up old computer game maker's websites and see how they never really made it past one or two releases.

Jumping Flash was a pretty cool game. As were the Crash Bandicoot games. And the PS had the new Mega Men of course, but they weren't as good as the originals.

I really liked Vagrant Story too (the only PS game I ever actually bought) but then my memory card died and I was like "fuck I'm not going to start all over again."

Almost forgot about Silent Hill! Silent Hill is the shizznit.

Ok, cool. I'll seek out this so called "Soul Seek".

Edit: That was an unintentional "pun"


Edit 2: Ok I have soulseek, username is "Micr0wave". Whenever you have the iso's ripped just post here and I'll seek you out in irc or something.
