I own a PS3.

Still waiting for a game good enough to warrant my attention.
Didn't get GTA4, because I don't have the time to play it, but hoping that something really fun comes out soon.

They seem to like their 3rd person shooters, which I can't stand as I'm so used to the accuracy of the mouse. It is all down to the developers at the moment though, even though Sony should just bite the bullet and bring out a proper mouse and pad FPS controller and be done with it. Its an incredible piece of hardware and a proper controlling online shooter could be superb!

Linux, usb kbd/mouse, mame(arcade emulator) and/or fceultra (nes emulator)

Nothing like using bleeding edge technology to enjoy 20 year old entertainment :)

You would have to become a nerd tho!

MAME.. ooooo the goodness. I have a disk with 1000 arcade ROMS on it laying the house and loved some of those 10p coin ops (Outrun days).

Did anyone ever try Bleem! on a PC to emulator the PS1?

ya, I did indeed, original Gran Turismo w/ some strange gfx corruption at about 15fps back in the day.

I also downloaded what I thought was a newer version of Bleem! on the corporate network where I was working and set off all kinds of alarmbells, network security officer asking me quietly(cos I was on their side, lol) what I was doing downloading viruses. I got the same quizzical looks as I did when I downloaded back orifice for lan administration, lolz

...aah tangents...the cDc


as for mame, I had a mirror of ftp.emulution.com(or something like that) with a cpl of gb of mame roms, sadly lost in one of my many hard disk crashes...we could start a whole new nostalgic thread on the arcade games that we knew and loved (and spent all pocket money on)
