Jollies, mini-jollies, RetroVisions, ski-ing and trips to the moon.

I think next year there should be a Bomberman competition. That game already makes people insanely competitive. A formal contest would be ridiculous.

Saturn Bomberman would be the best, but I'd settle for the SNES game that you heathens seem to like.
Long, long ago, there were a man who try to make his skill ultimate. Because of his bloody life, it's no accident that he became involved in the troubles.

Welp... I've got a Saturn with the 4-way multitap (6-way?), so it'd be easy enough - so long as someone brings along Bomberman!

(it's actually used to play deathtank, which gets a similar level of insane competition going...)

Just a quickie to say Laura (my daughter - not my girlfriend as one guy suggested!) and myself had a great time at RV - well done once again to Markie!

Only slight downer was the hour-long wait for the curry - worth it when it finally arrived! Passed the time watching some stroppy girl playing pool downstairs and changing the rules every time it looked like she was going to lose!
