As of writing I have 248 hours logged, along with 1000 hours of blood, sweat and tears.

I like it.

Absolutely love it. I bought all games currently available for it (as of May 2022) and think it's a very well put together package. Ghosts & Goblins is sublime. I remember playing this in a dingy old video shop in Newport, South Wales, in the mid 1980s on my way to and from school. Great memories!

Makes you re-evaluate your life.

After 560 hours playing this, and then finally buying the Premium pack, I guess I should give this a thumbs up.

Not quite as good as Manic Miner, but way better than Gunfright.

Wheely grate

Ploughed into a photographer on the edge of the road at 60mph and just got a 15 second penalty for doing it. i thought it was a bit lenient and I am still wondering how is family are coping, but hey ho, that's life I guess.

If the Inn had a sofa it would be exactly like Central Perk.

The first 'game' I have ever played that has touched me to the point of tears forming in my eyes. This is a beautiful experience. With no idea of the race, creed, colour, sexual orientation, body type, poorness or richness or any of those other criteria that many of us consciously or unconsciously judge others on, users of this game send each other warm, kind-hearted, positive messages.
It's crazy. I'm lost for words. This is magical. Thank you for creating this experience.

So, I'm not a die hard Tekken fanatic. Here's my history, for what it's worth.

I bought a Playstation (retrospectively more commonly known as a 'PS1') in late 1995 via the Grattan catalogue in the UK (remember that?) and it came bundled with Tekken and Ridge Racer. I loved both games of course which, coming from someone who only had a 486-sx20 PC, was a revelation in terms of graphics and playability.

I also have a vivid memory of spending £44.95 at the Newport, South Wales outlet of Software Plus to purchase the sequel Tekken 2. I also cleary remember owning Tekken 3 and then, when buying my first Playstation 2, having Tekken Tag Tournament as part of the bundle.

After that, it was no more Tekken's for me. I have played no iteration of the game since roughly 2000, 19 years ago, and it was just a strong sense of nostalgia that drew me towards purchasing Tekken 7. I am of that breed of player that is definitely more casual - I don't have the time of day to memorise all the complicated combos and nuances of each character. I just play for a 'quick fix'.

Even so, I am thoroughly enjoying this latest release of the franchise. The majority of the characters I remember from my Playstation days are there, and I also love Tekken Bowl, which brings back fond memories of the bowling sub-game that first made an appearance in Tekken Tag Tournament.

I didn't pay full price for it, but took advantage of an offer on the IndieGala store, and it's difficult to say whether I would feel the normal full price is justified. However, all I can say is that I do not regret the £16 I did pay for it and it has already given me many hours of fun and I am enjoying it immensely.

So, although I am a 'non-hardcore' gamer, I will give it a big thumbs up.
