Goldeneye and Armymen were the best 64 games.

I never had a 64. I only had a gameboy color xD

Megaman Powered Up is a PSP game that came out in March 2006. Those two screenshots are about as old.

[Skimbo 304]

only 4 years.... they look much older.

6578. ^^ My thoughts exactly.

Well, it is for a handheld. Can't expect anything too spiffy graphicswise.

I got my marks back from university today - from my 4 courses, I got 2 Distinctions and 2 High Distinctions.

So yes, I am very happy.

Get that into the lorry's boot!

[astronelson 339]

6585.

We have an odd mix of the two major Englishes - we would call it the truck's boot, were it not for the fact that trucks, of course, don't have boots. They have trailers. More than one trailer makes a road train, which we happen to hold the record for - 113 semi-trailers (don't have a front axle), load of 2,865,980 pounds (1,299,987 kg), length of 4,836 ft 11 in (1,474.3 metres). It was pulled 328 feet (100 metres) by a single prime mover (the bit with the engine). It beat the previous record, set about 2 years earlier in the same place. I don't think Australia has ever not held the record...

Sounds like a challenge to me!

Well Tonght didn't go as planned.

Note to self: Don't get stranded at 1 AM in the middle of nowhere.

[Korot 6]

6588. Nelson, I don't think there's any other country that allows road trains. At least I can't think of any.

[Duke87 1,070]

(6589)

Most states in the US allow double trailers. I've seen them.

[Larks2242 251]

6590.

You mean like a horse trailer?

[tjh876 31]

6591, yeah, ive seen them too, like smaller trailers that carry packages and all... They travel in 1-2 trailer per truck. I usually see them used by freight companies.

[Korot 6]

6592. Larks: I think Duke means those semi-trailers, as seen on many big trucks (truck + semi-trailer).

[Vahr 341]

6593

I see plenty of double trailers, usually fedex trucks

[tjh876 31]

6594, Yeah, Blue knows what I mean, but the semi and the truck are allowed in every state, trucks made this country what it is today. The double trailers are probably more efficient in the shipping industry, here is an example.

[Muck308 55]

6595

The ones I usually see have "Roadway" on the side. I've seen a number of FedEx ones as well.

The Seattle 4th of July celebration was awesome!

[Duke87 1,070]

(6597)

Incidentally, I spotted a double trailer going in the other direction as I was driving home today. Didn't catch the brand.

So, yeah, I was in Vermont (briefly). Six hours out, an hour and a half there, six hours back. Mission? Drop sister off at summer camp. I'm making another trip to pick her up at the end of the month.

[tjh876 31]

6598, Yeah, the double trailers I have seen are Roadway, UPS, or FedEx. The better part it that we are 3402 posts away from 10,000. So, does every person who posted a post here get a medal of posting? Or a medal of Simtropolis Endurance Poster? And what is next after this, 20,000, 100,000 (well, in another 9 years )?

[astronelson 339]

6599.

Most road trains are 2 or 3 trailers long, but I think I saw one with 4 recently.

[Larks2242 251]

6600.

After 2 long nights of July 4th and 5th partys i think i can wait till next year.

[Muck308 55]

What about those extra long buses with a flexible mid section? Do you have those, astro?
