I liked reading this thread even though I'm a bit younger than some of you (32) and it made me think which PS1 game I got first. I know for sure that one Christmas I got Wipeout from my brother and we had great fun multiplayer races. Then I thought actually I had a see-through Game Boy (which I still have with the case) slightly before and the first game I had for that was this little gem: Never did get past the underwater capsule section - the damage and time limit were so harsh!

I'd recommend Soma Fm as they do quite a few christmas stations, my favourite being the Christmas Lounge where they do nice modern remixes of classic tunes like this:

The Lost Boys - 3/5 Got this from CEX a couple of days ago as I've intended to watch this for quite a while. Much effort seems to have gone into the look and feel of the film, the music is over the top cool and the makeup very impressive. Sometimes it has average teen comedy and the menace towards the end just became silly, while some of the actors eventually get on your nerves but overall its a fun watch.

The Futureheads Haven't heard their recent stuff but Decent Days and Nights was on the awesome Burnout 3: Takedown!

The Towering Inferno (1974) - 3/5 I watched this a couple of days ago for the first time and its quite impressive given it was made 45 years ago. It goes on a tad too long and some of its silly but there are many good edge of your seat action moments plus it has a moral message at the end.

Something a bit different...

Rain upped its game today and came out on top.

I look up at my now depleted PS3 collection and see I still have Bioshock 2, Little Big Planet 2 and Virtua Tennis 4 and realise I should really have the originals (especially VT on the Dreamcast!).

It made me remember the forgotten 80's band Icehouse. I could so see Alan miming along to this, whats weirder is the poster is called Alan! (with two l's)

I want to go up in my loft and search for old computer game stuff because I have an original used Commodore 64, but the floorboards are ridiculously flimsy and I don't want to fall through and die. Does anyone know if its worth anything now?

Death Wish? And then you had number five - The Face of Death!
