    Yes, had it on my Xperia Play....another rock solid game!! In fact anyone with an Android phone if you download 'Marvin' it gives you the option to download the games from within the emulator....Transformers works a charm.

    I tried it on a touchscreen device and found it almost impossible to play

    Really, that's awesome! Shame, none of the ones I've ever used have done it? Is it an extra in the settings that I haven't seen? Some of the Amiga Emulators can be pigs to set up so maybe I missed it. Any more info would be appreciated.

    Can't blame them though, some of these things have such glorious box art or colours/features that when someone sees their favourite G1 character in a new light with exclusive artwork, how can they help but be interested? It's pretty much how I got into Joustra in the first place :) 

    The annoying episodes are the ones where people say "Oh I just read your article about this Starscream and I think as it's a bit different and special I'll keep it" when originally it was for sale. Again, can't blame people for that.

    All the best

    WinUAE has done that for ages :)  I know FS-UAE does it on my Mac too.

    Play it? No actually, even though I have a genuine 1980's copy of the game on cassette! Tape box and everything. Also have a copy of the Famicom/NES TF game, shamefully I can't survive more than a few seconds into the first level.

    Guess Ultra Magnus really can't deal with it...

    FUCK YES! I didn't have one but my mate did so whenever I went round I'd nag him to play it.

    Dudes, I'd really like me a Thundertron, but the pegleg puts me off something wild. Is it optional? I'd love to march out of TRU with one of the 50 there held high above my head, but can't for shame of that aforementioned leg.

    You don't have to detach the foot.

    Although w/o looking for a picture of it, the leg may still look a bit more slender than the one without the detachable foot.

    I'd prefer to just use a Raspberry Pi with a Spectrum emu loaded to be honest...

    WINUAE is the emulator I use, it's in the sound section I think, or the floppy section.

    Are they not full RRP in TRU still?

    I know that Argos had him in last week for just over £15.

    O rly? Might have to investigate. Thanks.


    I have decided I really hate Brett Lee. He's the same age as me, yet still bowls at nearly 90mph. I'm lucky to hit 90kmh, these days.
