Only a few Stephen King books translated to film well (IMHO)... Shawshank Redemption - film follows the book plot pretty much faithfully, and is a completely wondrous film.. The Green Mile - again, follows the book plot closely. Great acting. Delores Claiborne - just had the best story.. Stand By Me...

Remembering the old days, and requesting the new ways

When I was but a wee nipper, Elite was THE game. Played it on a BBCMicro first of all, then the Spectrum version. Have since played most of the PC varieties, of which Oolite is, of course, the best.

Best way to enjoy any old Genesis / Snes game is via an emulator and Roms. Helps if you are on a Windows PC, but I believe there are emulators out there for most systems.. Grey area legally for the Roms , but so very easy to find. Emulators Genesis/Megadrive, get KFusion SNES, get ZSNES. Wont tell y...

If you are a PC person, you can now play these old classics with shiny 3D graphics - EA released a version not long back which was enabled to work with the newer versions of Windows and Graphics.... I'll never forget playing X-wing for the first time, and when you ...

Sgt Schultz - nice choices.... Being a mostly PC man, I have to stick Freelancer in there as a modern tribute to Elite... Also - just for the general atmosphere and well done storyline - Freespace 2. A quality title still going strong with many Mods keeping it fresh. Old School - bit off the wall he...

have to admit to getting very hooked on Freelancer when it came out - almost (but not quite) the Elite fix I was after......
