A good alternative to those who like The Room games, free on Epic right now.

The demo is out today and it's instantly recognisable as a Homeworld title. I don't know if the full game will be as good, but the slow, haunting music combined with the 'beam in' noise of the mothership coming out of hyperspace, to the command voices being heavily overlayered with static - are...

Three entries on the back of that cover for the UCH? Never knew that.

They keep on going if you look after them. Still my daily since picking it up in December 2004. As Ol' Tarby says - it's the parts now that are either expensive due to rarity, or pretty much not available at all. If I had the space to store them, I would have been stock-piling written-off, or...

Impressive thread bump. Got to be one of the longest, I reckon? :)

Was an IT Manager myself for a decade. Now more focused on the project management/BA side of things. DO NOT miss the pressure of being the No.1 go-to person for anything and everything that seemed to have a plug on it. I've been where I am for 23 years next month and I do enjoy it - and it's...

Great response - cheers! Will help me for sure when I tackle it - and others!

I tried that the other week - though the dehumidifier we have won't operate below 5C and it was bloody cold outside. One thing I'm looking forward to sorting with the warmer weather. @Amp540a - do you have to actually cut the soundproofing out? By that, is it glued to the floor of the car and...

Welcome! :)

As many have experienced before, it's quite common to get water ingress in the footwells at this time of year - with the scuttle drains usually being the prime suspect. I checked on mine today having recently had a damp patch on both sides at the front. That was making me suspicious that it was...

Yeah - you pickup little PCBs that you can enter a mini-game to improve the stats of the handgun. It's literally a flow puzzle, where you add nodes that you either pickup or combine from other nodes - to make an 'electricity' path to an upgrade. Those can be like +20% fire rate, but directly...

Yep. Nabbed it just prior to Christmas and played it through. Here's my Steam review of it - but it does contain some spoilers if you want to avoid them! ***** CONTAINS SEVERAL SPOILERS - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ***** I took a punt on this game, being a bit unsure as what to expect. I have...

Still using my SecretLabs Titan 2020 on a daily basis. Not cheap - but a great chair. I wouldn't have any issues replacing it with another SecretLabs chair as and when this one is past its best.

Welcome! What leaks are you experiencing? What spec of Clio is it?

Welcome to CS! :)

I think EA's account management is a pinnacle of greatness - compared to the one that Blizzard uses. Literally cannot install any Blizzard game (even demos) as the authenticator app is tied to my old phone that I traded in, in October. Need an authenticator app installing on your new phone...

I would suspect that the wiring on the rear of the headlight unit would be different if geared for xenons and not standard headlights? Might be an easy adjustment for an auto electrician - but I wouldn't know on that.

That's good to know! I think I'll nab one of those then next month! (y)

Is that the Space 1999 ship in the bottom pic?

I remember some of the NEO-GEO titles (cartridges) that were released in the late 80s. Some were north of £250 back then - but to their credit they were the arcade ROMs with no difference between them. I believe they even offered a cross save function where you could play the NEO-GEO arcade...

Good question on that actually. Could you buy a LHD headlamp unit, but swap over the internals (bulb, ballast, starter, etc) from a RHD unit? Seems like the unicorn-spec dark grey xenon headlights are pretty plentiful in Eastern Europe - but are clearly all specced for the LHD market.

Thanks all. As most will have done - the bolster on the right side had pretty much crumbled away to nothing and I can feel the rigid plastic (?) section of the seat through it. Little surprise after 19 years worth of getting in and out of the car - but I actually do like the seats as it. Of...

Just curious. Or have most people just ditched them in favour of aftermarket options?

I was lucky enough to get the Amiga 500 Batman Pack, back in the day. Batman itself was a great game, but I think The New Zealand Story that came with the pack, just pipped it. Definitely up there with Rainbow Islands as one of my all time favourite platformers. It came with F-18 Interceptor...

We were lucky enough to have an Archimedes with Zarch on it at school back in the late 80s. Controlling that aircraft was tricky with the mouse, but it looked and played like nothing else - especially when the rest of the kit around it were BBC Micro B's playing Football Manager!

Yeah, it's a good one. I was particularly impressed with the fire and hose effects on it.

I'm amazed at times, just how long that certain magazines stay in print. More so in these days of digital content and people tending to prefer reading on multiple devices. I read an article over the weekend that mentioned Acorn User magazine - and somehow that stayed in print until the very end...

I guess it wasn't their fault that the knew no better. ;) The C64 trounced the shitty Spectrums in every conceivable way. Preying that with each game load from tape, that the flashing colours around the screen border were the correct ones?! Was it blue and yellow for it to be working fine and...
