For those that aren't aware, Monkey Island 2 is now available for download on Xbox Arcade - updated with new art and voices as per the first one. Been playing the last couple of days.

When I injured my hand last year I needed something to play single-handed and Transport Tycoon came through

I really want to play through some old Amiga games - Gods, Mega Lo Mania and Xenon II: Megablast spring to mind.

Or even easier: Download and install HWA package - http://hobring.esero.net/hwa.exe Then download and install Game Hard Drive Pre installed Packages from the game list - http://hobring.esero.net/games.htm On your desktop shortcut named HWA Configurations is automaticly created. Simply open it and double click on name of the game. Game will run, done! To close a game, press ''*'' Quote:
The difficulty is getting digital joysticks - I got lucky a couple of years ago and found at the back of my local pc shop a couple of new competition pro joysticks - needless to say they were snapped up damn fast. But amiga games really need digital sticks with 2 buttons. Closest you will get on the PC is a joypad.

If you like Transport Tycoon, don't forget OpenTTD, a feature complete (and then some) open source clone of TTD. http://www.openttd.org/en/
If you're used to TTD or Transport Tycoon, be sure to take an amble through the wiki before you play it, especially the section about track signals.

Not a year can go by without me playing Streets of Rage 2 on the Megadrive
Also had such an urge lately to dig out my C64. Still got about 400 games for it, the vast majority legit too Someone I know on Twitter very kindly sent me their Dreamcast a few weeks ago Not had much time with it but I've managed to pick up a selection of games very cheaply from a friend: Timestalkers Sonic Adventure Power Stone Soul Calibur Jet Set Radio Metropolis Street Racer ChuChu Rocket Fighting Force 2 all for £8 Only got the discs but still not bad at all! Until very recently I wrote a few nostalgic ramblings on a retro gaming site: http://b4hd.com/ Some happy memories there Got a Megadrive with 15 odd games that I bought just before I broke my foot last year. Still not got round to actually playing any of the games I know there was Aladdin and Skitchin in there and can't for the life of me remember what else!
