Cosmic Smash is good but it really isn't worth the £60 people are asking for on eBay! As for Marvel vs. Capcom I'm finding it really hard on the easiest difficulty. I downloaded the sequel, too, but I haven't burnt it to disc yet. I'll see if I can make any more progress in the original first.

I've been downloading a few more games so I'll probably end up burning all of them and have an increase of games to play!


What web -site is it mate? I've sent you a PM.


Pred - can I get a PM too please?

£15 plus £2.50 postage - it's not an official Sega one but hopefully won't make any difference to the quality - it was the one below..

Looks to include a direct cable out ala the 360 lead, the old Gameware box I had years ago just had a VGA socket on it so you had to supply your own cable which was a pain..

Something I don't know whether or not it's been referenced: These mistakes were not only expensive for the consumer who purchased them, damaging the brand's reputation, they were also expensive for Sega itself. Add to this the decreasing strength of the arcade market as the 3D consoles hit home offering similar or in some cases actually improved versions of arcade games, and Sega was in increasingly bad shape.
