h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Aaah so Menza was right about your promotion then
So whose bodies are you offering and do they know?

Not mine I hope, I need it.

I'm sure you'd get it back afterwards because otherwise I think it's probably quite a bad way to get votes...It's nice to know he's finally owning up to only giving away free ISP CD's though, although quite what that has to do with bouncy castles I'm not sure

I could give away a CD of Fifa 99, because I've never been sure what to do with it. (Football games aren't my thing)

I have an unopened Euro96 game, you could give that away to your second voter

Football games are strange... they put millions into making them but nobody seems to ever play them. And so they're forced to give them away free with graphics cards, sound cards, packets of crisps, etc...

Sports games were always the most boring ones I ever had on my spectrum... And frankly, they haven't changed at all since.

Hmmm I can't even remember the Commodore 64 having any sports games...I'd say it was too advanced but I think we'd all know I was lying

Anyway, I have to defend racing games because they're fun, 'Grand Tiramisu' has to be one of the most fun games to play ever...well maybe it's only fun at about 3am when there's about 20 people trying to play it on two controllers but still it has it's attraction

Actually now you come to mention it the Euro96 game was a free gift...maybe you have a point, perhaps if we'd paid for them we'd take more interest or at least pretend t

Racing games - yes, car games are fun - I remember a great one I had on my spectrum which I can't remember the name of now, but your car was equipped with machine guns, smoke screens, oil slicks rockets - yes, very Goldfinger-like - and I'm sure it had "Spy" in the title somewhere...
Racing against someone is fun. But hockey/football/basketball/cricket/baseball games are all identical and I find them dull. Sorry, but I do.
I have Euro 92, I bought it, and nope, I've never played it. (Okay, so it only cost me £2).

I've never been that fond of the sports games, except Speedball2. But then that was just a combat game with a ball.

Apparently there's a new Speedball game coming out

There is usually a 2nd sequal to most games. I bet it won't be as good as the original.

Altogether now "Nothing ever is"

Hmmm the Spectrum game it wasn't anything like Spy V's Spy was it? I used to love that on the Commodore it was so much fun and there were so many sequels to that too but they were all great...

Mind you I have found a thing which is much fun (depending on how sad/bored you are) all the old arcade games and Commodore/spectrum games are available to download from the internet...it's amazing after 10 years I can now play Bubble Bobble and Paper Boy to my hearts content...admittedly this was about five minutes before I got bored but still it's the principle of the thing

Some of my favourite games are now about 7 years old, but then again anything released in the last 18 months my computer can't handle cos its too old.

It wasn't Spy v Spy, no.
And my PC is a mega drive - much to the amusement of my housemates who all have modern PCs. Mine never has crashed or stopped working, though!

Shame I liked that game...wonder if it's still in the loft, hmmmm

For those of us more technically inept (ie me)when you say Megadrive I assume you don't mean something which will only play Sonic the Hedgehog at a very slow speed?

No, it's a genuine Mega PC - half PC, half mega drive, so you can fit in any old mega drive games cartridge in and play with standard mega drive gamepads. The only thing the megadrive can do that my PC can't is be hooked up to a Mega CD.

Well, I've got a digital watch. So there

My PC is a megadrive, but only cos I got an emulator on it.

The Mega-PC... I'd forgotten all about that! Wasn't it a 386?

Wow! You can surf with it?!?
