   Hmmmm, that's weird, some talk of Populous on the Genesis, SNES and   
   Turbo just popped up for me over the weekend. At any rate, I found the   
   Genesis version to be quite solid, wouldn't mind actually getting it at   
   some point down the line.   
      
   > Radical Rex,   
      
   I'll get this at some point, but I want the Sega CD version.   
      
   > Skitchin,   
      
   I have this, but haven't put a whole lot of time into it.   
      
      
   > Fatal Labyrinth,   
      
   I love the randomly generated dungeons of the game, but it seems like   
   the gameplay just isn't there. It's a shame too, because it could have   
   been a lot better than it turned out to be.

   Being a huge fan of the NES original I'd love to try this one out.   
      
   > Beast Wrestler,   
      
   Damn BW again, we were just talking about this one over in ASG. Need to   
   get it at some point.

   I really like this one and have played all the way through it.   
      
   > I've been after Populous for like a year and a half now.   
      
   It's definitely a hard one to come by.   
      
   > Jewel Master   
   > has also been on my wish list for a while now.   
      
   As well it should! ;)

   I hear it's quite good.   
      
   > What a glorious weekend :D   
      
   Indeed.

   Yeah, it pisses me off that a lot of retailers do that...but at the same   
   time, it's kind of nice because they price their Genesis, Saturn, DC,   
   etc. stock at insanely low prices allowing you to get a hell of a deal. ;)
