No, the games room's not *quite* complete yet, I still need to wire up the NES, Snes, N64, Gamecube, Master System, Megadrive, Saturn, Dreamcast, Atari 7800, Jaguar, PC, Ps3, Ps4, Xbox, and 360, but I have a few other systems ready for action and figured I ought to get back into filming again or I'll never get round to it. And @FozzTexx/Chris Osborn's #AmigaWeekend high score challenge seemed as good an excuse as any so here we go again, loading up Parasol Stars on the A600 to see how well I can do after several years of not playing it and zero practice. Or any proper testing to see what the new camera is like at filming stuff on my Philips Discoverer CRT. But hey, a few interference lines and out-of-focus moments just adds character, doesn't it?

Is it Rainbow Islands 2, or Bubble Bobble 3? You know what, it doesn't really matter, it's just FUN. And that's what's important.

And speaking of fun, Chris' high score tables are at http://highscore.fozztexx.com/ and I highly recommend joining in whenever there's a challenge running. You don't HAVE to play on real hardware, you can do it on an emulator if you don't have that particular system (or just don't want to/or have time/space to use it), but obviously it's more fun/rewarding if you do ;)
(My score here wasn't good enough to win, but sitting at the top of the scoreboard was fun til @MsMadLemon stomped me into second place with double my score(and it was still fun after that tbh))

Oh yeah, and THAT tune that I couldn't place but knew that I knew? It's only the bloody Lambada isn't it? Was stuck in my head for *days* after that, I swear. But that's the only downside to the game, really.
