Not properly or anything but at least my question got a decent answer, if not an entirely positive one. I was mostly just wanting to have all three games on the one platform since the emulation isn't 100% and is annoying in 4:3
Can I have your autograph? :)
congrats, I was mentioned in a Cnet article a while back..
Congratulations! It's great to get a proper (or close to) response.

obligatory anecdote;
I used to write into PCPP back in my teen years. But they never responded. One time, I decided to do something different, intentionally using incorrect spelling and poor grammar. While readable, it was posted to make the writer (me) look like a complete idiot.
Success! :) I got into the letters section, the editor placed title was "An idiot writes...".
Because of this, I decided never to write into the letters section of anything ever again. But considering I have trouble with what I mean to say most of the time, and I am prone to ranting (outside of a community area), it is probably a good thing.
The article mentioned a reader called Aliasalpha. Anyone know who that person is?

No idea, Wec maybe?
I should sue for stealing my usual online name!
I'm not worthy to post here (what with all the celebrities).
But your post got me thinking about what cool changes could be made to the original in order to freshen it up for todays consoles.
1. Online play (not lan linked)
2. The library stages need to look more varied (I often got lost as the environment often appeared the same).
3. No slowdown on the final level where all hell breaks loose.
4. HD Widescreen support.
5. No more than 1200 MS Points.

Congrats mate. Always nice to see your name in a published article isn't it. First time I saw mine published I was pretty stoked... Okay time for a shameless plug:
I write for gizmag.com. Tech stuff, mainly AV and music related.
Check me out people... Any feedback is welcome.

Hey, that's pretty cool!
I've just invested in a new hi-fi (so I'm still in geek mode and read some articles with interest).
Completely offtopic, but after a lot of listening and keeping the price around £1k, I finally went for the Arcam Solo mini with Muso speakers (have Arcam released that unit in Australia?).
I pondered a Linn Classik and at one point a Roksan Candy amp, but they weren't as 'Wife' friendly as the Arcam solo.

Not sure if Arcam have released that model here. If I can find out who the Arcam distributor here in Australia is, they'll be able to tell you (hi-fi dealers usually have no clue, even though they'll tell you they do - I work on the service side of the AV industry, it's frightening!) I'll check...
At least you got onto some decent brands/models though. Thank Christ you didn't just end up with a thousand quid worth of marantz or onkyo or rotel. Nothing wrong with those brands, but for that kind of money, there's better stuff out there... And wife friendly!!!

The only snag with getting a proper hi-fi is discovering all your digital music doesn't quite stand up to the uncompressed audio CD.
I may end up going from CD to digital downloads to CD again :)

CD is the only way to go. PCM audio... Best format/delivery system ever. MP3's are just bollocks, even at 256,320 kbs. Go back to CD's! They're bigger, but they're better!
