[rating:3.5] The title that’s taking up the bulk of my play time this weekend is quite a novelty, Solar 2. I’d never heard of the prequel, and only stumbled across this game by accident. I wish I had it last week for beach time. This game is based on physics, first you begin as a lump of rock floating in space, an asteroid. By slamming into surrounding rocks your rock…

Happy long weekend people Mine has mostly entailed laying about the house, drinking duty free vodka & playing Solar2 and R-Type, sure Bill would approve 🙂

At the arse end of the 90’s, before we had streaming tunes, certainly videos over the interwebs, this video was circulated on a PS1 magazine demo disk. On a 486, I was running with speeds of 48 kbps, if I was lucky, paying AOL by the minute, on top of the phone charges.
