The lesser mabinogion
I was fiddling with the Dreamcast last night….I had been experimenting in the past with Linux on the DC with the goal of running something like MAME, or a SNES or NES emulator on it…..but recently I discovered that people have ported emulators directly to the DC. I had also recently been given a DVD with literally thousands of NES roms on it…so I spent the night creating a NesterDC disc with about 300 NES games on it.
It works really, really well, and I was suprsied by how many games I remember from the C64 that were out on NES – Platoon, Commando, Ikari Warriors, Bubble Bobble (Though it’s the arcade version I was most fond of), Airwolf, all the AD&D games (Hilsfar, Pool of Radiance, etc), Bards Tale…I spent an hour or so just flicking from game to game….heh. If you’ve got a DC, then you should locate some ROMs and give it a go.

Wow – I remember those games. The old Amstrad CPC 6128 (WITH the disk drive incorporated into the keyboard – woo HOO) had them all. Ikari Warriors was a special favourite – and those D&D games, jeepers – I killed a lot of hours on those suckers. To think that NWN is starting to get dated… wow… I’m getting OLD.
