Past News of 2003

31.12.2003

Yes, well we've made it to the end of the year. And I'm glad to announce that Emunalysis has made it over 100 rom reviews!

Our 100th rom review is Army Men Air Combat for Gameboy Color reviewed by Barnabas!


For this year's final set of rom reviews to go up, we have:

-Army Men Air Combat, Gameboy Color

-Army Men Sarge's Heroes 2, Gameboy Color

-Alone in the Dark: the New Nightmare, Gameboy Color

-Axelay, Snes

-Ardy Lightfoot, Snes

-Aero the Acrobat 2, Genesis

-Knockout Kings, Gameboy Color


Please excuse us having so many games reviewed starting with "A". We assure you once again that this is purely coincidental and is in no way biased and we'll even apologise to those who are offended by this . . . offence.


To wrap up the year and celebrate us going over 100 reviews for this site, we revisit our very first 2 rom reviews:

-Chuck Rock for Sega Genesis

Chuck Rock has become a household caveman name, known for his trademark belly attack and his rock-band. You haven't heard of him? Have you been living under a rock or what?

-Megaman, the Wily Wars for Sega Genesis

The game that took Megaman to a whole new level, onto a Sega Genesis!

Barnabas' review of this game was this site's first ever review. Like what Megaman does in times like this, put your right fist up into the air!


From the people at Emunalysis, have Happy New Year! Not just a New Year, but a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Bye bye to 2003, say Hello to 2004!

30.12.2003

Before we announce our 100th+ rom reviews on New years Eve, we carry on with the revisit of our very early rom reviews:

-Comix Zone for Sega Genesis

The world's first ever game played in a comic book, so good it received our Bronze Award. Also included is some seriously awesome kung fu!

-Sensible Soccer for Sega Genesis

After playing Sensible, there is no other substitute for a footy game.

Makes all other Genesis footy games look like clowns with lame ass jokes.


We'll see you on New Years Eve with our final update and rom reviews of the year. Tah tah!

24.12.2003   Christmas Eve

Let me get the Christmas talk out of the way.


It's Christmas Eve,

Let us all twinkle with joy,

Some of us wrote wish lists to Santa,

And we all expect much better,

I wished for an Xbox with some games,

Some pornography, sex toys, and a Playstation 2,

So Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas to me.

Merry Christmas to Santa if he ever comes down my chimney.


So for today's Emunalysis Christmas special (only because it's Christmas time), we've carried on with business as usual with 3 new reviews:

-Rampage, Commodore 64

-Temco World Cup '92, Genesis

-Way of the Little Dragon, Amiga


As of now, Emunalysis sits on 99 rom reviews. Before we deliver and celebrate our very special 100th rom review, we look back and re-present our classic rom reviews from our early days of 1999. For today's Christmas special, special because you can click the links to open the reviews, we have:

-Alex Kidd in Miracle World for Sega Master System

A game so good, it was built into every Master System II (wherever it was built it).

-Shining Force, Legacy of Great Intention for Sega Genesis

One of the greatest RPGs of all time. A game so good, it just was.


From the Emunalysis team, Merry Christmas to everyone! Yes even you!

Yay, now that Saddam Hussein is picked up from his hide-away hole and put away for George Bush to deal with, we can all continue with our lives and you can do that by reading 2 more reviews.

-Lemonade Stand, C64

-Rocky, Master System


If you haven't already, join up with the Emunalysis Group and start injecting some life into it. I have started up a new Guestbook, because

theGuestBook.com made everyone pay for their guestbooks 2 months ago. So now you may start shoving site comments into it. Positive comments, negative comments and abuse will be tolerated. Gayness is not tolerated.

Please do not put anything other than comments about this site into the guestbook. Random quotes, links to sites, updates on your love life and wedding proposals go into the Emunalysis Group messageboard!

~Twirl


28.11.2003

This is probably the most reviews we've shoved up onto this site.

Please excuse the high frequency of As, we assure you this is purely coincidental.


-Alien Storm, Genesis

-Altered Beast, Genesis

-Antz, Gameboy Color

-Arcana, Snes

-Armourines, Gameboy Color

-Asterix and the Power of the Gods, Genesis

-Atomic Runner, Genesis

-Australian Rugby League 1996, Genesis

-Terranigma, Snes

-The Duel: Test Drive II, Genesis

-World Cup USA 1994, Genesis


A month before father Christmas arrives,

his checklist scrutinized before it is finalised,

he knows what you are eating,

And even the websites you are visiting,

Emunalysis likes to provide gifts for you,

as we trundle a bundle load for you a-due,

we're sure you're repay in due time,

so you can experience a somewhat early Christmas chime!

Barnabas has made up a nice spell list for Spellcraft Aspects of Valor.

So if you have Spellcraft, then click here to download the spell list.


I'd like to remind all the idiots out there: stop fricken using the Guestbook as a messageboard. Comments on this website go into the Guestbook. Messageboard stuff like advertising yourself or general chat goes into the messageboard.

~Twirl


10.11.2003

Made some slight modifications to the site now. You can now get to our new messageboard from the side link. This messageboard is of course the Emunalysis Group. There are few members already, so if you're not one of them, why not join up now?

~Twirl


13.09.2003

For 3 years, the Messageboard, Forum and Chatroom have never been popular on this site. People haven't used it all that much and when it has been used, it was either a load of crap or an even bigger load of crap.

So today, we have something brand new for this site:

The Emunalysis Group, from Yahoo!Groups.

A place where you can post messages, chat, upload your own files, pictures and links for others to download. You can also put your own polls up and post key events on our calendar. All in all, it's a great way for a group of our visitors to interact; you know, become one of the fanau.

Check it out at http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/emunalysis 


So go tell all yah friends and fanau, but most importantly, join the Emunalysis Group yourself, NOW! Yes, NOW, not tomorrow or next week or next year, or never, but NOW NOW NOW!
