I thought the version I knew was on a C64.
I could be going senile in my old age.
What game were we talking about again? I was Karateka, right?

I was surprised not to see Microsoft's.NET Show on there. Okay, so it isn't about gaming (it's about Microsoft's new technology), but when you're living in the most isolated city in the world it's an excellent source of information.
Usually running around an hour, the in depth interviews are exellent.

Lookout...I'm about to rave and swear a lot. If you're offended by bad language, don't read this.
*gets on soap box*
Telstra are a bunch of fucking assholes. Here in Perth we are bombarded left right and centre with ads telling us to get on broadband for only $$$ a month etc etc. Man I wish!
I've been trying to get ADSL for fucking ages, but I can't. I live in a fairly new suburb and I would have expected to be able to get this service quick and easy. I live less than 3km from the local exchange, and a friend around the corner (about 4.5km away from the exchange) has had ADSL for ages. But do you think I can get ADSL? No goddamn it!
After a lot of fucking around on the phone, the web, and heaps of stress, I managed to finally get hold of a Telstra operator who knew what the fuck was going on and how to use the bloody computer system. She told me that line my house is on is hooked up to a RIM, which means the hardware is incompatible. When I asked her why this is, she explained that ADSL only works on copper lines, and that RIMs are a cheaper way to provide regular telephone capability to new lines (I think because they use optical cable).
So there is no way in hell I can get a decent land link unless I pay to have a dedicated line put it, which is just way to much. Give me some fucking service you cunts!
My only option seems to be to go satellite, but I really don't want to do this (mainly because of transfer rates and interference from the airport in my backyard...yes I live in The Castle!).
There was a recent test in Canberra to get RIMs to provide some ADSL support, and even though there was limited success Telstra have not proceeded with the solution, leaving poor dicks like me out in the cold. Bastards!
So everytime a bloody broadband ad comes on TV my blood pressure goes through the roof and I'm very tempted to throw shit at my TV.
To all you guys who get broadband that are complaining about the cost...stop your goddamn whining you lucky bastards!
As you can tell, I'm very upset and pissed off about this. Getting information from Telstra is like brushing your teeth through your asshole...it's painful, useless, and you don't know where the fuck you're going. They're a bunch of incompetent beaurocrats and are only in business because they hold the bloody monopoly.
AAAAaaaarrrrggghhh!

It's crapping on about other stuff, but about 3/5 of the way down the page it mentions that MC Hammer paid Rick James to use a 7 second sample of Superfreak to create the musical equivilent of the SARS virus.
I'm still spewing that MC Hammer ripped off Rick James' "Superfreak" to make "You Can't Touch This". Superfreak is one of my favourite songs ever and all they ever play on the bloody radio is "You Can't Touch This". The bastard!

I think I just threw up in my throat.

Man...I would -love- to have a little joystick where the wheel is. You know...like you get on console handsets?
The possibilities are fantastic for gaming.

After a bit of searching on Google, I found this little snippet on the matter:

That's "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News (and Ray Parker Junior's "Ghostbusters"). The fact police.
Pigs ass.
I'm surprised you guys don't remember ID4! I mean, all I ever seem to do around here is write viruses for invading alien spacecraft.
