I was just ever so slightly disappointed that they replaced the original fonts for the text. Perhaps they weren't legible on the small screen.

The bottom screen menu stuff is quite ugly. But no big deal. I've never played Majora's Mask :blush: so that would be great.

I actually quite like the bottom screen stuff as the original N64 menus are quite dated now. I was on about the top screen wording when characters speak.

I'm well aware that only fellow graphics designers or typographers that played the original would possibly give two shits.

Really (really) late to the Steel Diver party, but I've just started playing it. I can see why people didn't think it was worth £30 but I paid a tenth of that, and it's actually pretty good. Not quite what I was expecting either - I thought it was going to be like a side scrolling shooter in slow motion, but it isn't really - the "detached" way you control your sub changes that.

Only done a few missions though.

Finished Heroes of Ruin in the week too. It was great, but felt unfinished - too few areas, not enough quest types, and too many palette swapped baddies. It was also really easy and nowhere near as epically long as you expect. I did enjoy it a lot though - the game just ran out early.

Steel Diver is remarkable for being the only Thrust-type game I can recall being commercially released since, well, the Amiga days, I guess. And then it's not even exactly a Thrust-type game.

You've not played Gravity Crash then, I take it! (meanwhile Pixeljunk Shooters is what happens when you remove gravity-handling from Thrust and replace it with physics on non-player objects, and Luftrausers is what happens when you keep the controls but apply them to a Defender-style shooter, so there are still echoes of Thrust and its ilk around)

I remember being terrified because I'd knocked over some tools of my Dad's, or because I'd made a mistake when assisting on a land rover engine - man things. Accidentally traded Pater's Pikachu? I weep for the future.

What's your name and what town/city are you in?

You passed the missus' 3DS, so it would have been Pixelbark or Pixel, and we're in Derby. Sorry for the late response, we've been on holiday for the past week!

In other news.... Why isn't anyone talking about the new Phoenix and Layton game? Having spent a week with it we're loving every minute of it. We're more Phoenix fans than Layton, but the puzzles are actually quite fun and the game itself is huge length-wise. Surprised just how violent it is, but I'd guess that's Layton for you.

I'm on chapter 3 at the moment, around 11 hours in. I've never played a Layton game before so I thought I'd be rushing through them to get to the Phoenix bits, but I'm enjoying both sections equally.

The whole "burning witches alive thing" is grim in the extreme. Doesn't exactly leave much to the imagination.

Ooerr. I'm in Norfolk so it must have been through a relay.

How strange, didn't realise we had a relay in Derby.

Aye! Just our thoughts. The missus can get a bit OCD about things like picarats so we've generally avoided Layton games as they can get a bit stressful (we played one of the first Layton games where the puzzles were a bit off the wall- but thankfully the puzzles are a bit more reasonable now), but we're both really enjoying both sections.

It really is a bit grim, we were a bit shocked to be honest, certainly makes you question the twelve rating. The scene where we 'won' the case, just to send that girl into the fire was horrible. Whereas I'd quite happily put a Phoenix game down in front of most twelve year olds (as even though it's about murder, the murder itself is often glossed over), I'd hesitate giving this game out.
