Month: December 2009

29th December, 2009: Obviously my plan to own my own dog’s nadgers arcade room thingy has to begin somewhere. Today

So to recap, it’s just after Christmas 2004 and there I was with a piece of smashed up wood in my front room and all I could do was play the Space Ace laserdisc on a separate player.

November, 2004… eBay should be switched off. Well that’s my opinion anyway because it’s solely responsible for a new disease sweeping the world; the “press the button, go on, BIN it, you know you want it, it’s there, just press the button” disease. It’s the ultimate car boot sale. There I was one day, minding my own business, when all of a sudden the urge hit me, but eBay, for once, couldn’t help me. So off to the rest of the interweb I went and posted a couple of messages on a couple of discussion boards thus, “Space Ace wanted”.

Ikaruga, a hard game by anyone’s standard, and one that requires an accurate input device, which unfortunately the Dreamcast (DC) pad isn’t.
