I liked MULE so much that I've actually made some headway into converting it to a GBA cart.

Playing with the GBA really brought back memories though... very similar to coding right down to the metal like back in the 8bit days, with display list interrupts and poke'ing hardware registers to make it dance. Fun!
Ive been on a retro trip lately. I went and bought a Commodore just to play Archon which took fucking ages to find (thanks Ebay). I also purchased an Intellivision just to play Dungeons and Dragons, a game I havent played for a good 25 years.

Well worth it though as I cant be assed to fuck about with emulators.
