Set mine up again and spent a lot of the weekend playing Nemesis, Xevious, Time Pilot, Joust, Jackal, Shao-Lin's Road and Uniwars. If only I had a joystick that could handle Ikari Warriors.

Classic game. The vehicles, the music, great stuff.
It does say a lot about Rare that they couldn't even make a racing game that wasn't a collect-a-thon though...
Just press ESC
And yes, Driver is awesome. It's in my PS3 ATM, going through it again
Ahh, it works - thanks.
No, it says about Rare (at the time) that they weren't afraid to take on all genre's with their own brand of magic.
Sadly today Rare are a completely different breed and it makes me sad when I hear their good name connected with some of the experiences they come out with nowadays
I'm not knocking it at all, the fact that that game had an adventure mode was part of why I rate it so highly. In my opinion, its equal to Mario Kart except for the multiplayer.
Rare made some of my favourite games of all time. They never should've left Nintendo man.

That's a long and painful story. You can thank Sony for all that (although the course of events were, I guess, inevitable anyway).
Still, they are obsessed with collecting items. Remember Donkey Kong 64?
Rare's back catalogue includes Jetpac, AticAtac, Sabrewulf, Alien8, KnightLore, Killer Instinct and Goldeneye. All ground-breaking games, all awesome. Probably a higher percentage of quality games produced by them than anyone else.
I own originals of them all.
Rare were kings. Now it's a name masquerading.
Killer Instict was retardedly good. Not in a bad way, but in a super-retard strength sort of goodness.
It was a better combo system than the fighters of that time.
ULTRA COMBO!!!
I remember battering the arcade version, when they were promoted as the Ultra 64
Apparantly Goldeneye is being remade. Not by Rare. For the Wii. With Daniel Craig.
Whywhywhywhy
Whywhywhywhy
And for the DS.
Apparently they are duplicating everything about the original, including the big head and paintball modes.
PLEASE! PLEASE! I don't believe in a god, but if I did I'd pray that he made this game be exactly the same, with the one exception of four player splitscreen being a smooth 60fps! Those multiplayer knobs of COD and the like don't know where it all began, and they fecking should!
Oh and any fans of the original, and the first Perfect Dark (equally as genius), should check out the Timesplitters series if they haven't already.
I tried that the other day and gave up. Couldn't figure out how to do one of the training levels - just kept bashing oranges (or some kind of fruit) away when I was supposed to pick it up. Couldn't figure out how to translate the instructions for pressing N64 pad buttons to my standard config joypad. The depth perception was awful too. Give me Donkey Kong Country and it's sequels on the SNES any day over frustrating, poorly rendered faux 3D nonsense any day.
Just got MAME running too. Only played SFII so far, but it's great.
Timesplitters 2 was brilliant alright.
I love Timesplitters 2, haven't played the others.
I did actually like DK64, for the most part, but the collecting things was ridiculous. You had 5 different colours of bananas, oranges, crystal coconuts, banana medals, banana fairies, camera film, musical instruments, gun ammo, golden bananas, crowns, the Nintendo coin, the Rareware coin....
A new Donkey Kong Country is coming out too. That actually looks pretty cool.
Just checked out the trailer for the new DKC game. Looks good - not got a Wii but my dad has...
Never played any of those other Rare games though.

You should! Virtually all their early games defined genres, one of the most overlooked was Conker's bad fur day.
The Great Mighty PooI'm going to throw my shit at you!
Yeah the coin challenges are incredibly annoying. I'm cool with collecting bananas to increase speed though since Mario Kart does that with coins. The silver coin challenges though just force you to take poor lines. But I guess making people play the same tracks again is easier than building new ones.
Still though. Planes + missiles?
My emulators keep changing windows every 10-15mins or so, don't know why, 1 minute I'm playing then it just shows the desktop. Anyone had this problem? I thought it might be an issue to do with power settings or something in windows but it's not.

Gamezone on Piccadilly was one of the first places in Manchester to get it. Jeez, those were the days when arcades were more about video games than fruities. They always had the latest fighting game by the pillar straight ahead as you walked up the steps. MK2 was there for ages, then Tekken 2. Then KI.
C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!
I've downloaded MAME and unzipped the file. Now what do I do?
Zip it back up and pick up your guitar.
Alternatively, take a long walk along a short pier.
Oh, and on topic. I used to spend many a lesson at school on Project64 playing Goldeneye. Will give that a download now
Brilliant. You've been a great help.
I've downloaded ePSXe, does it require anything more than an integrated graphics card?
Yeah, it needs the Bios file - which it's usually not bundled with - and a couple of plug-ins which the config wizard will suggest that you can just google d/l links for. I've got the bios file if you struggle to find it (which I did).
The ability to RTFM?
Yeah..I don't really know what I'm doing. I assume this step by step guide is all correct?
How to Play Games on ePSXe - Emuforums.com
What manual?
Off the top of my head, you need some graphics plug-ins and a bios for the ePSXe emulator.
edit: yeah, what's in your link.

I've PM'd you, Biscuit.
I just downloaded pokemon red and a game boy emulator but cant decide whether to pick bulbasaur or squirtle
I remember I used to always try and collect three magnet balloons to try and get the strongest magnet.
The magnet is fecking useless.
