Probably just a Zelda. I think Tears of the Kingdom was £60. I remember splashing out for a couple of obscure imports etc in the GameCube era but I doubt any of them cost more than that

I think I donated over £100 to the Shenmue III kickstarter in a moment of excitement. I've still never played it.

Although I'm considering spending £600 or whatever a PS5 costs to play GTA VI when that comes out next year. Even though that would obviously be an insane thing to do.

I paid for two months of Microsoft Ultimate Game Pass and only played Silksong during that time, and then decided I wasn't getting my money's worth so I cancelled Microsoft Ultimate Game Pass but I hadn't finished Silksong yet so I had to buy it

And now it's too difficult so I've given up

Mine was £20 for Defender of the Crown on t'Amiga.

Was it worth it? Yeah, definitely!

That's Mario 64 (on the 3D All-Stars game for the Switch) finished for the umpteenth (third, probably) time. I got all 120 stars and I think I only had to look up five, which isn't too bad. In three cases the answer turned out to be 'keep trying what you were trying before, but do it better, you idiot'. Also I managed to defeat Bowser on the first try in all three fights, which is definitely a first for me.

In relation to the earlier talk about large sums being spent on Kickstarters and games and all that: I splashed out on the final last ever forever ZX Spectrum Next Kickstarter several months ago in a moment of madness. But it was actually quite a good pruchase from the looks of things (not correcting that typo). It's actually coming along quite nicely, lots of frequent updates and honest talk about the complications from FUCKING TARIFFS. I think I may finally get it around April, and then I will have a tinker around with it and then never ever use it ever again

I would quite like a Mega65

I would quite like an Australian Commodore 64:

ChinnyVision - Ep 576 - 1 Hour Of Amiga Games

Me: Ooh, I'll watch that!

"Includes AGA (A1200 / CD32) games, and all footage is recorded from a 28MHZ A1200"

Me: I REQUIRE A500 1MEG PURITY! *sulks*

Post by **endar** » Thu Mar 12, 2026 9:16 pm

that's a 68030 running at that speed probably

A1200s and CD32s came with a 14mhz 68020 as standard, so that is cheating a bit

Play a slightly tarted up Stunt Car Racer in yer browser!

I used the cursor keys to control the car rather than the game's default control keys.

Oh, and the shift key for the turbo!

Oh no, I bought a new monster hunter game

Post by **dng** » Thu Apr 16, 2026 11:30 am

Well it's probably an old monster hunter game but it's new to me

Post by **dng** » Thu Apr 16, 2026 11:31 am

It's exactly the same as all the other monster hunter games

Post by **dng** » Thu Apr 16, 2026 11:31 am

10/10

To be fair, it’s hardly going to be much different. 1. There are monsters. 2. You hunt them.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Thu Apr 16, 2026 12:35 pm

You could be a hunter who is also a monster, I suppose.

I have never played any of these, are they good?

Post by **vom** » Thu Apr 16, 2026 2:06 pm

they could do one where you're just looking through corner shops for an elusive energy drink

They're really good, assuming you like hunting monsters (for several hundred hours a game)

Post by **dng** » Thu Apr 16, 2026 6:46 pm

And also like quite a lot of tedious not actually fighting monsters at all bollocks that capcom insist on including in every bloody game

Post by **endar** » Fri May 01, 2026 5:56 pm

this looks even more lovely than the previous game

However I won't be truly impressed until they port Chubby Gristle to the 2600

Too many people have died trying to port Chubby Gristle to the 2600, Daren. :'(

That's crap, is that.

I hope pirates somehow download those games and flog 'em off on discs.
