Okay, but take the sentence "that's just the beginning of the tragic history of beta" and replace beta with Dreamcast, and you'll see it.

I had never heard of this before, so naturally I looked it up. Dang, that was a really cool concept.

I've always found that kids will just naturally get interested in old games if they're given a reason to. Back in the PS2 days, my younger cousin wanted to play my Mega Drive just because he recognised Toy Story.

As I like to say, I'm not ambidextrous, just messed up. I was naturally inclined to be left-handed, but was taught to do things right-handed, so I flip depending on the task - I write with my right hand, but hold a knife in my left hand while eating, and so on.

They also gave away 45,750 Ristar t-shirts, one of which is on eBay for a rather high price right now.
Pardon our interruption...

I still regret equipping the Cursed Boots.

Amazingly, it’s even longer than that! The original Japanese release just squeezed into the 1990s, launching on 29 December 1999.

Definitely a promotion that ran in the UK, too.

Oh, that's a good one - I didn't play the Amiga original back in the day, but I picked up the GBA port back when it came out.

I am not usually a dog person but I will make an exception because they look very polite ❤️

You know, I remembered WarioWare Twisted never came to Europe, but totally forgot that Drill Dozer didn't either. So I looked on eBay and dang, I had no idea the game had become so expensive.
