The Storyline
Deacon Oaks is a small and quiet town, where nothing bad ever happens. Sheriff Alex Truman has a peaceful life dealing with lost dogs, trivial disputes, and a few drunks here and there. He should be the happiest lawman in the world. But there’s just one small part of him that longs for some excitement, for something that would break the monotony he doesn’t even realise is eating him alive.
One cold November night it seems his unspoken wishes may have been granted when he’s involved in a car accident with a man who appears suddenly in the middle of the road. Alex is fine, but the man ends up in hospital with a broken leg, and several cracked ribs. Nobody knows who this guy is or where he has come from, and to make matters worse, he won’t speak. Finally the town has its first real mystery, and Alex is overjoyed. But that joy is to be short lived.
With no way of finding out the man’s identity, he’s moved to the local state mental health facility, and life in Deacon Oaks goes back to normal, until two months later when Alex gets a call informing him that the “road guy” has at last spoken. Three words were all he would say – “Cold Winter Farm, Cold Winter Farm, Cold Winter Farm”, over and over again.
Alex has no idea what it means, but he does know that Cold Winter Farm is on the edge of town, and that’s good enough. The mystery is back, and Alex wants to get to the bottom of it right away. Problem is, the biggest storm in fifty years is heading towards town – he’ll never make it out to the farm and back before the storm hits. But Alex doesn’t care – something deep inside is driving him – he has to know who the “road guy” is, and he has to know now. Abandoning all rational thought and ignoring the warnings of his deputy, he grabs the keys to the 4×4 and heads out.
Ten minutes after he arrives at the farm, the storm is so out of control, that it uproots a tree, which falls onto the house, crushing the roof, and trapping him in the basement. That’s not all though. The fallen tree has opened up a hidden doorway, which leads to a secret corridor. At the end of the corridor is an elevator, and the only place it can go is down. With no chance of being rescued until the next day, and with the overpowering need to find answers drowning out the fear he feels, Alex decides to take the elevator down.
But what will be waiting for him at the bottom? Will it explain the origins and identity of the “road guy”? Will it explain why the “road guy” was walking in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the freezing winter? Will it explain why he wouldn’t speak for two months? And if it does, will the answers be simple, or will they be ultimately more disturbing and terrifying than anyone could imagine?

morning!Just incase you know anyone after a wii, Dixons are getting 1300+ today and will be on there website from 9am
If you took all your favorite childhood games and added everything you had missed out on then combined it into one simple, cheap and well presented service… you would get ConsoleClassix.com.
Console Classix is a cheap and legal way of emulating all your favorite retro games on your PC. No longer do you need to spend your evenings downloading ROM’s while fighting through an army of pop-ups, everything you could wish for is all there and is only $5 a month, (roughly £2.50 for us brits), MUCH cheaper then if you was to buy the cartridges or download off of Nintendo’s VC.
To make sure you know your spending your money in the right place the service has a huge library of games, consisting of thousands of your favorite retro titles. There was not a single game i have not seen on there, Final Fantasy 1, 2 & 3, Metal Gear, all the Super Mario’s, Golden Axe, Metroid, and even rarity’s such as EVO: Search for Eden and Phantasy Star are all present and ready for you to play with no hassle. Most consoles are waiting, each with their own library, Atari 2600, Colecovision, Game Boy (yes, even has 8 different Pokemon games), Game Gear, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, NES and SNES, so there is all the opportunity to back in time and play that game your buddy kept telling you about but you never had the money to buy it or re-live your favorite gaming moments.
Unless your one of these people that needs to have the cartridge on their shelf then there isn’t any downsides, its much cheaper then collecting the consoles and cartridges, much faster and safer then trying to find them all on illegal sites, you can use your PC pads (i tried VERY old ones and they worked a charm, even PlayStation2 controllers if you have the adapter) AND the download time is no more then flash games so your not left waiting forever to play.
Still uncertain you want to pay your hard earned $5? well, since the people at consoleclassix know that its nice to know what your buying before you pay they have kindly provided a FREE service so you can test it out before buying, so don’t take my word for it, head out, download the client here http://consoleclassix.com/download.html, register to the free service and say good bye to Nintendos Virtual Console forever.
Ease of use: 10/10 - couldn’t be simpler
Compatibility: 10/10 - Works on very old machines, long as you can run Windows 98 or above and have internet you will be fine. (have not tested on vista, will change rating if its not compatible)
Games Library 9/10 - Would have been nice to see N64, but you cant expect everything from one company.
Emulation Quality 10/10 - 100% perfect emulation, same quality as they was back in their prime.
Overall 10/10 - If your a retro gamer then you really cant go wrong with this service.
