Wing Commander, Ultima VII (:loveg:), and Jungle Strike all on the PSP in one game is pure love, and for a cheap price too.

Owwwww syndicate, how I loved that game, it shall be mine :2thumbsup:

[Kekvit Irae]

I still have syndicate on CD somewhere. It was hard as heck, but I still loved it

Syndicate was awesome.

What I'd really love would be a portable version of FFVII. It's shocking that what is widely recognised as one of the best games of all time is only available on ebay.

Syndicate and Wing Commander are classics. Not a whole lot to get excited about otherwise though.

I couldnt even tell u when I played Syndicate last, but do you think it'd translate well to PSP controls? Unless I'm mistaken (which I may be), I thought it was pretty mouse oriented. :shrug:

[Fragony]

I had syndicate on the Snes and on the Jaguar, worked fine on both. Unlike these systems the PSP does have a analogue stick that works pretty well most of the time, a bit unfomfortable but usually it works well enough.

No Wing Commander II :no:

I will never forget Marika Tanaka's last words before she sacrificed herself destroying that Kilrathi Capital ship: "Tengoku de omagischu te imasu" ("I will wait for you in heaven"). She was the sister I never had...
