Effing awesome. Other people played Jill of the Jungle. I still have the floppy somewhere, I could probably boot it and Worms and Lemmings up on my old '95 and go retro.

Not only have I played Jill of the Jungle, I've played Xargon!
I had a Worms clone on my TI-85 once upon a time. Good game.

Jill of the Jungle was great. I also played Star Control 1 & 2 and Cmdr Keen 1-4. And tons and tons of other games.
Whatever happened to those fun old DOS games?

You actually had a registered version of Invasion of the Vorticons? I'd say "awesome," but that hardly does it justice.
 I know where my old DOS games are. They're all sitting inside one of my Zip discs (all of them , those old games are REALLY tiny) waiting for me to play them.

The original Prince of Persia is brilliant.

What's brilliant? The plot, the gameplay, or the multimedia experience?

The whole yackenilchi. The plot is magnificently B-movie-esque, the music is wonderfully painful, and it is the second most addictive game in the universe (the first being Tetris).

"Magnificently B-movie-esque."
I can understand that. I have great fondness for modern B-movies, especially because they aren't pretending to be epic masterpieces (read: LOTR, Matrix, Star Wars prequels). Looking at my video shelf right now, I can see the following wonderfully enjoyable and joyfully painful B-movies: A Knight's Tale Kate and Leopold The Avengers and many more

The Avengers? As in, the remake movie? And yet you take issue with Casino Royale?
What are you doing right that every film critic is doing wrong? Gatac

Honestly, I liked the Avengers movie as well. Not enough to own, but I found it fun and funny.
And I didn't find CR to be as wonderful as everyone says, though I freely admit that the reason for that is that I watched it well after I'd heard everyone's hype and went in expecting something different than what I got. And Prince of Persia was great. A one hour time limit for the entire game was a great idea that worked well for it. Also, the many deaths of the protagonist were a lot of fun.

Yes, the remake! And yes, I take issue with Casino Royale!
Okay, let's look at this sensibly. Can we all agree that Casino Royale is supposed to be a reboot along the lines of Batman Begins? Just chuck the faulty assembly line process and start over. Avengers is not a reboot. It's a remake. They're different. Avengers was able to make fun of itself and did so without revervation. They weren't afraid to insult the cliches of the genre. Besides, Avengers was clearly set in a parallel universe, just like Agent Cody Banks. We were never meant to take it seriously. Casino Royale is a reboot. They said "everything that comes before never happened." We were clearly supposed to take it seriously. Critics operate on different procedures. Fanwankery is NEVER supposed to play a role in what they do. Against union rules, so to speak. Critics are trained to look at Casino Royale as a spy movie, as it's own entity, nothing more. I can't do that, and I wouldn't if I could. I'm a pigheaded lout, conceded.
