Hi Matt

I loved this video.

I recently got my hands on an Amiga emulator and the first game I loaded was Syndicate. Like you the Amiga version was the first one I played and it has such great memories for me. The scenario and atmosphere were terrific. As you and Chris have mentioned it contained more than enough violence to get the moral minority into a frenzy! Back then though games were still quite a niche pastime so no-one really noticed. I can still remember the thrill of getting my first minigun!

Bullfrog issued some brilliant and innovative games. Popolous was fantastic, Popolous 2 even more so. Magic Carpet was good fun too.

In terms your suggestions Bards Tale would be really good, particularly if you expanded it to talk about the games that influenced it and the games that it inspired. I'm risking sounding like a broken record (surely this phrase should be updated to a stuck CD! Actually even that's out of date. Is there a mp3 equivalent?) I would love to see a Matt Chat that is based on any Ultima game (I know you've done VII but you cant get too much of a good thing!).

Anyway as ending with a quote is cool.

'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.'
