I've written a couple of reviews for this board and have linked the images to other peoples sites, is this ok to do? I just wondered because I'm no web designer and this could be considered bad "etiquette"..

Could be that I'm worried bout nothin'

Anyways, I'd love to hear what people think of my reviews to give me some encouragement to do more, come on, you lot are full of criticisms (or should that be critique!)

Really, you should ask permission before doing so. It is basically stealing other people's bandwidth, which isn't really on without their permission.

id say you probably should ask, but since everyone is pro gp32 here, if it contributes to the scene i dont think tell mind much.

Great reviews though... Being a speccy, I never new Turrican was on C64, I only played the Amiga version. Damn, I wish I had my GP.

and yeah it is common courtesy to ask permission for images, most ste owners are normally happy to support this kind of fan review thing though. They might prefer it if you uploaded images on your own server though.

In future just do the same thing, Send an email with a link to the review asking if it's okay and if you get no response then take it as a 'yes'.

IMHO.

I read your reviews and the C64 one was pretty much spot on. I couldn't get anywhere in Rick Dangerous though and it doesn't have any nostalgia for me so I would have been a bit more harsh on it, although it does look nice.

I think it would be good if someone added links to the reviews from the download section.

Are you considering reviewing Spectrum emulators at all? I have thought about doing it myself as I only bought my GP32 for ZX Spectrum emulation and I am a little disappointed by the emulators which are out at the moment, although Rlyehs ZX emu should be a treat if it comes out.

Thanks for the kind words. I will only write reviews of stuff that I have an in depth knowledge of so the speccy is out as I no nothing bout them!

I'm slightly worried as the site that I linked the images to is unavailable atm. I hope to got that people accessing my review haven't bashed their bandwidth that bad!!!

hmm

Well I've emailed the persons who owns the sites for the images, I actually noticed a bit on the Turrican page that asks people not to do this after I sent it glad I checked it out....

Anyway I'll have to find some space to store these I guess. Just hope you folks find the reviews interestin -_-

Cool - they're fine with me image linking to them, and also the guy from the Turrican site thought it was so cool that he's going to put some news on the GP32 on his site - I provided him with the relevant site details to get the word around..
