Interesting. I liked the Flash game, though it ran fairly sluggishly for me as Safari doesn't seem to like Flash much, and it's a bugger to play with a laptop touchpad. I think it would work on the DS though - sort of like Pac-Pix, which I really enjoyed.

I thought the original Touch Detective was a seriously underrated game that got a lot of bad press - I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the sequel!

I loved Touch Detective, the art style, the script, the music...almost everything about it, and didn't really see why it got such poor reviews. The only real problem I had with it was occasionally some of the puzzles were a little unintuitive, but I find that in almost every point-and-click game.

So what's 'Metoroid' then?

My DS Lite (dark blue, Japanese import) has a yellowish touch screen, but it's only noticable during the 'WARNING DO NOT PLAY IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE OR SOMETHING' screens that you always get on boot up.

To those of you not in the UK: Boris Johnson is, basically, batshit insane, and nothing he says will ever be taken seriously by anybody. He's a comedy character, nobody of consequence.

Pang! I had Pang for the Spectrum, I'd love to see it on the DS, so long as it wasn't a fumbled attempt a la Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, etc. etc.
