[@lionocyborg6030]

Not a matureperson 66 Same here bud. I grew up in that decade. As far as my gaming was concerned, not counting handhelds, my PC and original Xbox were my life. I used to have great fun playing Halo co-op with my friends, and I even took my copy of Shadow the Hedgehog to a neighbours house and we took turns beating the levels, commenting on what ones, we liked which missions sucked, and other stuff in general. It was like Beavis and Butthead or James&Mike Mondays, except Nathan and I never recorded it. Microsoft need to start making original Xboxes again, as well as work with Sega to implement compatibility with Dreamcast GD ROMs, and update the DVD feature to allow you to use your Duke instead of that hard to find remote control. (I no longer have mine and I don't know where to go to find one.) Sadly, I know they will never actually do that.

[@Abel-Alvarez]

@@lionocyborg6030 those two are the best ports. He said the PS1 was the worst port and the N64 had too much fog due to it's hardware limitations. LGR is so much fun to watch. He also stated that the PS2 had a "sequel" but he doesn't recommend it. I'd still buy those too

[@lionocyborg6030]

Abel Alvarez Thanks, but I did see the video. Learning what Revolt actually was made me think of Hot Wheels Burnin' Rubber on GBA meets Mario Kart 64. It is extremely hard though. Thankfully someone on GOG made an FAQ thread. I've now got the GL PC version downloaded and a GD ROM of the Dreamcast one is on the way. I think the "sequel" was RC Revolution or something, but yeah, Clint is awesome. Ross Scott too. I do wish this Xbox port came to pass though, as I grew up watching this demo in between playing Quantum Redshift. (Imagine Wipeout for Xbox but 1000 times more awesome)
