# I think they just need to replace all boring sports with their late 80s and early 90s videogame counterparts.
Formula One becomes Mario Kart, Rugby becomes Speedball (2), and Football gets wiped from the collective consciousness for the good of society.

# I'll give you the Speedball 2
but I'm quite partial to the other two sports.

Mind you. Having Japanese businessmen wank off in your face must be more interesting than rugby.

# I can watch pretty much any sport, except three.
Golf, cricket and motor sports.

# for me it's Rugby,
Tennis, Basketball and Hockey.
I'm sure there are more but those are the ones that need a man and a big gun to officiate.

# do you get out to old trafford for the cricket much?

# Not any more.
I used to go a lot. Pete Marron (Lancashire groundsman ) lives near and drinks with my old man and used to invite us a lot but he quit last year to do other things so I've not been motivated to go since .

( better fun as guest of Pete's than out in the crowd )

# i'm likely to be working in sheffield over summer so I might try and get over to watch a game or two.
there's sod all worth watching in this city if you don't like football

# I can't stand watching any of them, in the same way I can't see any point in watching someone play counter-strike/whatever game du jour.

Match of the Day for example seems to largely consist of grown men whose only gift to civilisation was the ability to run around a field for prolonged periods of time, sit around in mourning for their lost talent and constantly talk about other people running around a field whilst reminiscing about some of the many fields they had run around.

# you've disappointed me
i can put this down to the accident of you living too far north. isn't your son going to one of the best rugby schools in the country?

# I played Rugby League
Just never had any passion for it and can't comprehend why anyone would watch it on TV.

# to be perfectly honest i feel the same level of ennui watching football
some could sit down and explain football to from now until pretty much the end of time and i still won't get it

# Also replace all known chess tornaments with Chess Boxing, the Grandmasters would certainly have to raise their game.

# battle chess
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Sun 29 Mar 2009, 2:57, archived)
# Fuck that was a great game, almost as good as love chess.

Actually it was much better than love chess.

# good times
knights fighting knights was best as they went through the Black Knight Sketch

# I wish I could remember half of the games I had on my amiga (and get a fucking decent working emulator for them) because there were some really ace ones people barely remember.
Brutal Sports Football for instance was great, pretty much what you'd get if you crushed Blood Bowl and Speedball together.

# Don't you find
WinUAE works?
I have cloanto's Amiga forever and can get many old games working on it.
Dungeon Master was my staple. Plus the Cinemaware titles and I always enjoyed the point and click adventures like Legend of Kyrandia.

# I have Amiga Forever as well but WinUAE is still nigh useless unless you get lucky.
Some games you just won't load, some the controller configuration just refuses to behave, others won't seem to run properly no matter what hardware specs you set. I tried Hunter just the other day, wouldn't cocking do anything. Compared to other system's emulator it seems worthless using the thing and not just dusting off the actual machine.
