  1. That might be it! But that title is impossible to search as its too general! By the way with a name like yours how can I believe you? Haha! I'd love to find a rom of it somehow
  2. i thought id come here to ask anyone who might now about the name of specific apple ii game i played in school. we played this game alongside lemonade stand and oregon trail, so it may have come out at the same time basically the game is to teach you how to use the apple ii and is broken down into 25 mini games with the goal of each one to teach one specific point, for example, how to use the open apple key, etc. one thing i remember not so clearly, is that the 25th game is a full sized game of some sort, but class always ran out of time before you could get to it! any one know? thanks
  3. I'm trying to get jaguar running but it says I need the proper core. I have not spent much time with it but where can I find the jag core??
  4. your forgeting the jingle genesis does what nintendon't! seems like from 1989-1994 there was a genesis commecial every week the saturn commercials were weird and scary to me
  5. yes i hear that, and since i am not a big pc kind of guy ill wait for the playstation version of b and w we can try this and see how it goes thx
  6. my friend has a copy of black and white my friend also has a semi new pc athlon 1600 480 mb of ram ge force 2 card enough hard drive space so you see the system seems adequate yet there is this problem the gameplay continually is jerky and there are jagged lines that extend from the ground into the sky in the game. i changed the game settings to the lowest possible, still the same problem happens! now at his parents house the game ran fine, just on this pc. so it makes me wonder. anyone have any advice on what to tell them? he gets pretty frsutrated easily on computers and even thre a fit when the mouse wouldnt work then i unplugged it and re plugged it and it was like a miracle, since he dismissed the computer as broken!! anyway anything anyone can offer to help us out of this jam id appreciate
  7. I can tell you exactly why Nintendo doesnt put backlights in their portable systems. Every portable system that had a backlight failed. They consume too much power. And this is exactly why Nintendo owns most of the portable market. Why would they risk it? Nintendo has no competition in the portable market. Sony isnt going to release a system that uses carts as a medium and Microsoft already announced that they will support the GBA. As for Nintendo taking a half step forward in technology, thats crazy. The GameCube is a lot more advanced than the PS2 and uses better technology than the XBOX. Have you ever heard of " S3TC Compression"? Its a hardware ability that allows the GC to compress textures at a 6:1 ratio. Or how about 1T-SRAM? If anything its Sony that took a step back in technology. Come on, 4 mb of video ram . Thats ridicules . Even the N64 had the capability to have that much. And 2 controller ports! The XBOX while it is very powerful, it is just a dumbed down PC. ok, when someone makes a backligh tha does not drain power like crazy (someday !!) then it will force nintendos hand the half step is that the discs are half the size of dvd's haha bu it still gets me super mad that they just wont go with the flow hell i bet if they never saw a VCS they would still be making game and watches only or if never saw a video game would still be making cards only.
  8. ze ro what i am saying though is that it seems nintndo only wants to take a step (half step!) forawrd in technology when it is only ABSOLUTLEY possible. had they could get away with carts for gamecube i think they would have done that. they only way a nintendo hand held game system will have a backlight is if an equally or more powerful one eats away at ithe 100% markesae enough to wake them up and realize they will lose that market. true in 1992 cd add ons were all the rage but not needed so i could see how they kept pushing it back and back and back until only a year ago when they finally gave it and did it. as ar as controlling 3rd parties its teh same. they realized that they would be a 1st party system only if they werent a little more free with thier game makers, so its like they are just too relectant to move forward same with the add on. why does sega waste their time?! make pso only for xbox and ps2 since they obviously want to make online for thier systems a reality when they do get around to making changes and games they are great but its just such a long process again may i quote howard lincoln when i say "the world isn't ready for 16 bit"
  9. while the ps2 might be the thing most hooked up to tv's i see it this way , that its a 3 way tie, if you look at it in a larger scale sony has a lock on the home game market, its true nintendo has had a handheld monoply since day one microsoft has the pc os market basically so i see it that way and each get thier money from what they do best, or in MS case, whatthey make the most $ from!
  10. when i am at work and a custmer has a problem. we like to know what OS they have to narrow things down and get to he problem fast as possible so i ask " what is your operating system?" (i said OS the first day i was there and gave that up right quick!) they say " um i got a dell" or " i have a pentium 4" or " i have outlook 2000 " or "im stupid so i dont know know what you mean" (this is what someone actually said once) so i woudl say " its sort of what runs yor computer it can be windows, macintosh, linux or DOS and there are others" after about a month i just said "what kind of windows do you have" and i still have people that have no clue! its true that microsoft has the bankroll needed to be competitive but the XBOX just has this "extreeeme" "this game kicks my own ass" tyoe of feeling with everyone i know (real or on boards) who has one. it seems as if when you buy an XBOX you get a free slipknot hat and pantera gets to come to your house and play it while you and your friends dye and braid your goatees and act all mad at the world, but hay XBOX RULEZZZZZZZZ!!! i hate X factor in anything at all. and that keeps me away from them.
  11. which letter, was it tonights show? i saw it, it was pretty good.
  12. wouldnt those games still be 2d? i mean you can go left/right and forward but not left/rigth up and down forwards and backwards no?
