But ages to a UK release I bet. I want one now :) Actually... Talking of specs, and I know this wish is a bit late, I'd quite liked to have seen a high speed IR port in it so you don't need to muck about with wires when you are linking the consoles up. And if you had one of those IR light switches you could get games that turned the lights out at really scary moments just to give you a heart attack :) > Look at the quality of some of those demo screen shots!

I don't know Hey, don't forget the Colour Gameboy :) This throw-it-away-and-start-again attitude in the computer/console industry is quite amazing though. You would have thought someone might have spotted the benefits of backward compatibility a while ago. > about the rest of you but I've always missed my favourite games when moving > to new technology regardless of technical superiority - Revs on the BBC, > Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga, Street Fighter II on the SNES.
