      Totally agree - Elephant Man was possibly his finest hour. It was easy to forget he was acting, he was so totally convincing. RIP
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        RIP John Hurt, what a talent, so many good roles and unfair to declare a singular defining moment.

            Namco were responsible for quite a few really good arcade games, including Galaxians which was the first colour game

              RIP Masaya Nakamura

              Thank you for the Ridge Racer series, the Tekken series, the Soul Blade series, Xevious and various other titles. But not Pole Position, wasn't impressed with that.

                      MAME...I remember that. Having a huge wodge of DVDs full of games, most of which I couldn't get to run or had no idea how to play. Just used to play the same few and ignore the bulk of it.
