"Well, I have a lot of stuff for work that has to be done, but at least I can do it from the comfort of my own home while I watch something from the media server."

I have the impression that lot of people who weren't paying attention to the looming international shipping crisis woke up Monday and went, "They're doing WHAT?!?"

Super Darius is one of the gems of the PC Engine. A genuine, "How did they manage to pull this off?" game as the gigantic arcade game was brought home with a lot fewer compromises than you'd expect and some very surprising additions.
