It plays Gamecube games normally, it has a mini dvd drive for those games or what ever the cube discs are.

Backwards compatibility through downloads are for NES, SNES and N64 games.
And possibly for some old Sega games if the rumours are true.

Downloads? Are they going to be free then? It wouldn't make too much sense to have to pay some nominal fee for a game that I already own for N64 or NES.

You'll pay a small fee for whatever game you choose to download. I cant wait to play Goldenbeye & Perfect Dark.

Last games I bought were my 360 games.

I owned it before, but I sold it before it was announced the the 360 would be BC. Got it for $5.

I just won these items on ebay.

Nice.

Colonels Bequest boxed, special stuff indeed. One of the best games ever made over all genres, imo.

In that case... I should see if I can find a bargain for it. It's just that when they reviewed it in Pelit, it got known and the price went up...

I should get Psychonauts too...

And Monkey Islands 1-3... ;(

Shit, i'd give kings quest V to anyone who would friggin take it.

You never answer or check your PM's, boyo.

For 25.51 off eBay.

theres a Directors cut?

Yes.

It's on a DVD (so no multple CDs!) with some extra stuff, and also a Dark Horse comic book.

Fret not, Karmillo. The European DVD version is the Director's Cut edition. They never released the standard version here.

Oh, no comic book, but the extra DVD content is there. Definitely.

Hmm. I've pre-ordered Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords... does that count? ;P

The first game is lots of fun to play around with, and the second game looks like it promises to be even more fun. I could probably spend hours just tinkering around with the ship designer, from the sounds of it, and the diplomatic dialogue looks even more amusing. :9~

Peace & Luv, Liz

I bought an original boxed copy of Scorched Planet today, because Virgin Oxford for some reason has about three of the damn things that it's never managed to sell. Until recently they were still trying to sell a ten year-old game for £34.99, but now they've dropped it to the far more reasonable price of 99p.

Shopping time!

Several days ago I finally bought

and today I returned for

However,

http://img429.imageshack.us/img429/5176/toee18zt.jpg and http://img429.imageshack.us/img429/7322/vampire18uk.jpg

were on sale so I got them as well. :)

Now I'm thinking about buying

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/4312/gregory14ro.jpg,

anyone played it?

Already mentioned it in another thread, but I pre-ordered this:

Not bad. I remember Temple of Elemetal Evil being close to AD&D but buggy as hell. They might have patched it.

Mind you Vampire wasnt the most stable game either.

And they are both Troika games. Hmmmm habit of releasing unfinished buggy but excellent products me thinks.

Ico is just a classic though.

I loved that game! :D
theres some adventure elements to it...it also borrows some elements from resident evil like the healling herbs (but it gives you back your sanity)
Who know being a peeping tom could be so much fun? :P

That's what happens if you have no internal QA and rely on the publishers to provide it :frown:.

Anyway, make sure you get the official and unofficial patches for Vampire. They won't optimise the engine, but they will fix a whole load of the bugs :).

yeah like one that would crash at the very end of a level where you have to run like hell to escape a bomb blast :(

About time, I say.

About time indeed - Now go play KOTOR for sixteen hours straight! :)

Star Wars: Empire At War. I thought it was time for an RTS game, and this looks pretty good. I haven't played a serious RTS since some C&C expansion, and considering this is a Petroglyph game, I though I could hardly go wrong with it. So far I've played through nearly the whole tutorial (my RTS skills be rusty ;)) and I'm looking forward on completing a 'campaign'. The space battles are awesome - order a squadron of X-Wings to attack a cruiser, switch to movie mode and it's like a freakin' SW film :P

I just got this one too. Yeah, the space battles are awesome, but the land battles are a little boring. Anyway, I'm liking this game, I think it's going to keep me away from Rome:TW for a while :)

Yeah too bad about the land battles (also, what's with the small maps?) but the space battles more than make up for it. I really hope the gameplay doesn't become repetitive, but so far it's quite addictive :)

[Waits for the laughter to start]

I paid $8, I think.

You poor bastard.

I used to have Space Harrier on tape for C64, but I lost it. :frown:

'Nuff said.

O right, I forgot this thread... I just bought:

And for the price of the normal version.

Oh yes.
I actually bought this over a week ago...

Is Crashday actually any good? I've read a few reviews which all seem to imply that it's a bit like Trackmania but with too little variety. That said, GAME have it for £11.49 inc. P&P atm...

http://www.nl.bol.com/intershoproot/.../5/1759503.gif

Bought for 40€ at bol.com. So far I'm having a blast :P The graphics are very classy and the rest is definately somewhat reminiscent of the Monkey Island games. No regrets here.

Getting to this thread a little late, but I picked up Scratches on release day, and Fable: The Lost Chapters an hour or so later. I'm quite tempted by Gun, may get that sometime soon.

Gun is fairly mediocre, it can be fun if you go in without high expectations, but it's nothing like the previews, the freedom is fairly limited, the story linear, so just don't expect GTA-style freedom in the wild west ;)

Farenheit UK edition off of ebay...
