I have, apparently, played Sonic Adventure on the Xbox 360, at least to the
part where I met Tails and unlocked an achievement for doing that. On 6
March 2012, no less, 11 days before my first child was born.

I thought I might play some more, but it appears I do not own it digitally,
and I am fairly sure it didn't get a physical release.

So, O great minds of UGVM, how have I been able to play this? And how can
I continue to play it without paying the extortionate sum of �3.30?

UGVM, you are all rubbish. I found it.

I had a copy of Dreamcast Collection for the 360 on disc - Crazy Taxi, Sega
Bass Fishing, Space Channel 5 pt 2, and Sonic Adventure.

Amazingly, it works as a backwards compatible title, with the exception of
SC5p2 - put the disc in and it installs the others to play. A bit of a
glitch at first mind; I already had Crazy Taxi installed and putting the
disc in just launched that; I had to uninstall Crazy Taxi and then
everything was installed in one go.

Sonic Adventure is a bit hard to control now.

I miss the space shuttle launch in Gameboy Tetris. Oh UGVM Greats! (who
have been proved to be useless) How do I get this back, without
purchasing a Gameboy. Or standalone emulator. ?

Avoiding the Analogue Pocket, which is the most expensive way to do it,
Pi-based handhelds and even crappy chinese sub-£20 devices then....

I'd recommend Visual Boy Advance
https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m

It does all GB -> GBA variants, runs on Windows/Mac. You'll have to
acquire Tetris for it yourself though, forbidden by charter innit.

It's worth noting that Tetris DX, for the Game Boy Colour, also has the
space shuttle, and is all round a slightly better version.
