Such a brilliant console

Had one since PAL launch but sold it two weeks ago cos I bought a donor and did a GDEMU mod

All that remains of my collection

This was the game that made me choose a Nintendo console over the advertising juggernaut that was PlayStation

Still got the original receipt

I worked on the PSP version with 6x9

Funny story - ‘Red’ studio had disbanded leaving only one racing stupid at CM and nobody had the source code, so the PSP port was basically reverse engineered from a retail PS2 disc bought at Game, which is why it doesn’t run very well (uses PS2 lods)

I saw this on release and as a massive arcade fan it was like the wizard of oz for me 😂

Seriously, how does this asshat still have a job?

I will forever associate this game with this spectacularly bad bit of PR

The internet delivered with a sublime mockery of the cover art featuring the gladiator wielding a fork over a giant dinner plate

I bought this at launch for the older model Xbox (One X). It had only one major bug - you couldn’t back out of settings menu - which was quickly fixed

I played 130 hours with no crashes and it remains one of my favourite games of all time, a worthy tribute to the peerless Deus Ex
