Good moaning.
I've spent the last few days in a state of utter anxiety and worry, over a vehicle related matter. I won't go into details to avoid boring you. Suffice to say, that stupidity and neglect are a bane that I brought upon myself.
Somewhat more calm now and with the problem at least partially solved, I've realized I'm head-on into a mid-life crisis (it most certainly can't be that I'm easily impressionable and suggestibl... ooh shiny! Awesome!). Because I've found myself looking at motorcycles and thinking how cool they are. Even though all I've been looking at, are cheap 125cc ones (which I can drive with my normal driving license (cars)), that can't really go over 80 km/h. And yet I still fancy myself riding one. The fact that I found a nice naked with custom looks for dirt cheap, doesn't help.
I have the Aladdin cartridge somewhere.
The Megadrive Aladdin was the superior version, no discussion. However I feel that part of what made it awesome was the fluidity of its animation. Something almost unknown at the time, but that nowadays it's taken more or less for granted.
It's kind of telling that another game known for it's complex and fluid animations was prince of persia.
Both arabian themed.
Coincidence?

AgentBirdnest: I didn't know they were on PC either. And they do seem pretty expensive for 22-23 year old games. :-\ I think the three of them bundled for $10 would be a more reasonable price. But well, I'm cheap :-)
You could argue that they still aren't. After all, these are simply ROM images bundled together with a Megadrive (Genesis for you yanks) emulator. As for the price. You're not cheap, just sensible. 10 bucks a piece (11 in the EU) feels like a swindle at this point. a 10$ pack would make a lot more sense. Specially since there are other cheaper ways to play them.
