Silpheed
IS IT SIL-PHEED OR SILP-HEED?

On occasion, both myself and Darran have told the story of how we first met at the Classic Games Expo UK in 2005.
He was on games™ at the time and selling off some Saturn games. I was 18, still doing my A Levels and turned down the opportunity to buy Panzer Dragoon Saga from him for £50 because that was my whole budget for the day. But recently, my mum asked what I did buy that day, and thankfully I had a photographic record. Some of it was tragic – in my defence, I’d never played the Mega Drive version of Virtua Fighter 2 before. Other bits were pretty good, like the copies of Sonic Jam and Virtua Cop 2 I’d bought from Darran, and Silpheed was definitely one of the good ones.
