   Join the club...seems like noone has having much luck nowadays. I know   
   my big problem is that with around 350 carts, it's hard to run in to   
   stuff I either don't have, or want.   
      
   > Curious. I wonder how the clone would react to the 32x?   
      
   Like virtually every thing else, it probably won't work. I know it   
   doesn't work with the Genesis 3...

   Like all Treasure games, you need to do your time with it. When I first   
   got Alien Soldier, I couldn't get past the first stage the entire first   
   *day* I had it. You do your time though, put in some effort with the   
   gameplay and then, all the sudden, you're rockin'! Give it another   
   shot...if you can't get in to it then think about moving on.   
      
   > Yeah, I doubt that I will waste any more time on that one.   
      
   Well, if you want, I could buy it off you. Though it sucks, I kind of   
   have a soft spot for it as I've still got a recording(on VHS) of myself   
   beating it in around 13 minutes. Plus, it's almost like looking at a   
   working beta...;)  If you'd rather just trade it in the next time you go   
   back though, no big deal, I'm sure I'll run across it at some point again.   
      
   > Yeah, it isn't bad at all.  Amusing the way guys move exactly like the

   Speaking of, did you know they released Speedball for Xbox Live? I tried   
   the demo a long while back. It's wild. I am guessing it's just the   
   emulated Amiga version, but it also has a full 3D mode...but sadly the   
   demo doesn't allow you to try that one.   
      
   > Eh, I hijacked some of the enemy's ships; didn't add much.  The ships   
   > I hijacked were nowhere near as tough as the one I started off with   
   > anyway.   
      
   That's because the ship you ride in on is one of your own. At times,   
   your squad will show up to help you out, and you can jump on them again.   
      
   > I just can't get into this one.   
      
   Some can't...it's not a big deal.

   Really? Man, they are all over the place around here. I may have one or   
   two spares too, I'll take a look. If I do, I'll shoot you one, no big deal.   
      
   > Do you know what kind of game Junction is?   
      
   Slot-based puzzle game, IIRC.

   Solid. Tell you what, let me see about that 6 button controller, think   
   about The Terminator and I'll email at some point tomorrow and we'll see   
   what we can do. Cool?
