I enjoyed it. But then I went for free...

I liked the speed and colours of N20 (Gremlin) and am thoroughly in
need of Parappa The Rapper when it comes out. "Chop! Block! Pose!"
Hope you all picked up a PSX demo CD so you can experience the drama
and subtlety of this masterpiece. LOLOL! The Psygnosis
all-encompassing Wipeout arcade machine was cute (but very little else
- as you'd expect from Psygnosis :=). As for games which look playable
and interesting: call me a sucker for Pandemonium clones, but I'm off
to get Medievil the day it hits the shops. And Tomb Raider 2. Oh dear,
this will get expensive.

However, the undeniable highlight of the show for me was the press
release for "Diana - The Screensaver" from 21st Century Entertainment.
How many of you saw that? And no, I amn't kidding, and I picked a
couple up if you need proof.

>Well ... I'm off to do some stuff on my Yaroze (hi to all those I met ...
>even though I
>didn't stay talking to you long ..)

And I'm off to play Parappa The Rapper :)) T'was indeed good to meet
you lot. You've sparked my own interest in getting a Yaroze... one of
my own, that is, and not just the office one.
