Been playing single player too.  Cool to see what happened.  Even the small stuff like telling that asari to stay in that relationship with Charr (the krogan spouting poetry on Illium).  She opens a store on the Citadel called the Blue Rose.

Duke Pukem you say?

J-Man wrote: ^ That's what happened for me in the Duke Nukem 64 rom. I could see the enemies through walls,  so it kinda defeated the purpose of most of the game.  And yeah, I use my Xbox 360 controller when I do roms as well. It also helps to be able to configure your own control scheme.

 yeah, i cant remember if you can save controll scemes as files in p64
if so, i might write a little script that links those files with the rom files so i dont have to switch up my controls for different games.

I can't wait to play the rest - I love retro FPS games like this. you buy the cartridge? or do you play emulators  I bought the cartridge for around $2 on ebay. I don't do emulators too often, but I do have Project64 installed on my computer.

 i would play cartridges, but i much prefer playing with an xbox controller as opposed to a n64 controller
it sucks though that some of the roms i get  dont work fully, (eg pokemon snap and pokemon stadium)

In my adult years the two only games I�ve played ( and it�s been like 8 years since I played the last time) were Heroes of Might and Magic and FIFA. Now if I�m lucky my kids will lend me their Nintendo DS and ask me to help them with a particularly difficult part of the game and sometimes my son wants me to play a game with him on the Wii, but that�s it. It�s never for my own enjoyment anymore, even though it�s always pretty good fun playing with the kids.
