slycatI was supposed to meet up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kurtbatz today but he never called so I went in to Southampton with my brother. Had a look at trainers but decided I shouldn't buy any and wait untill my birthday comes round for that as I should be able to afford them by then. Also looked at some jackets but found that the ones I liked were hideously overpriced. I still need a new jacket, the one I have is too big for me XXL!) and doesn't look very good at all. Maybe next weekend :P
Anyway, the reason for the subject of this entry is due to something else I bought in town. Speedball 2 for the GBA! I knew they were making it but I didn't know it was out this week. Both HMV and Virgin were doing it for a mere £20 so I snapped it up sharpish. After getting it home and having a good play, I can say that it is a very good port of the original Amiga classic. Just a shame the original music has been lost and not all of the sound effect and stuff are in the same place. As far as gameplay goes, it's more or less identical to the original but perhaps a bit harder than I remember... That might be because I used to use cheats maybe, cant remember :P
I have been playing until my thumb is crying out in pain for me to stop. It's really fun and addictive as the original. I would recommend it to anyone who loved the Amiga (or Megadrive/Genesis) original and has a GBA. Especially seeing as I want to have a multiplayer game now :D
I need to have a chat with Kurt really cos he was interested in buying my Swear shoes. Could meet up someplace tomorrow as I have nothing planned (As usual).
