I believe Brett is expressing his love and admiration for the Space Quest series of games. Retro style.

I did vicariously - my neighbours went, while my daughter babysat their kids - they thought it was brilliant as well.

Are you a fan Rusty? Because if you have a computer that has a 3.5 and 5.25 drives or something to rip them from the original format i have quite a few original sierra games in the original boxes, some of which would be classed as close to mint and the rest as VG condition. all the maps,instructions,booklets discs in both formats etc.

Project Iceman, Conquests of Camelot, Larry 1/2/3 combined, Police Quest 1/2, Space Quest 1/2/3, Kings Quest 1/2 and a few others. Remember Silpheed? or Thexder? Awesome games.

i loved these games as a kid. If you are a fan and dangle the right carrot/s i may consider parting with them. I'll post pics if you want.

lol...

I am indeed expressing the amazing experience that was Wilco's recent tour. I managed to catch 3 shows again this time around ( flew to Brisbane for the friday show and twice in Sydney over the w/end ).

I've been hooked on them since the Mermaid Ave album and was just yesterday talking to a friend about seeing them at The Metro back in 2003. The following day the band held an in-store at Red Eye in the city and there were only EIGHT of us fans there!! Things are quite different now.

Since we're all into records and sounds......has anyone had a good listen to Wilco ( The Album ) and if so what are your thoughts? Sonically speaking....

I really should check out their new stuff... I kinda lost interest after YHF, but I've heard things have improved since. Summerteeth is a desert island disc, as far as I'm concerned.

I still quite enjoying playing older games, emulators rock my world sometimes.

Played the lot in my younger days, ah, a misspent youth... :P

To be honest, I wouldn't bite... not enough spare time, and can always emu; but thank you for the offer.

I mention to a mate... or you could always chuck them on the bay?
