    all i can say is 3d over FMV any time!!!

     

     

    ya after getting out of gaming i forgot how non rpg non anything but 3d they were at first, i was getting out of games after the jad died for a time frame.

     

    nintendo, while making great games do have the biggest rods jammed up their butts when it comes to ANYTHING that doesnt keeep them in control

    dont think they live down the CD I games everyday,

     

    from what i hear the snes cd was brought in by sony because sony made the sound chip in the snes (?) but then contractually somewhere they could lease out the games to anyone they wanted and nintedo wanted control of that and couldnt hav eit

     

    if i remeber correctly the snes cd games were supposed to have an outer case with a chip to stick into the system or something and sonly hated that or something

     

     

    anyways the n64 didnt have a cd drive either but i thought it would

     

     

    the game cube finally gives in but uses tiny discs!!!??? are they that afraid of piracy? jeeez

    as im sure a few here know, i didnt play a single sony game until i got ps2 in 2001 :P and in the days of 94-95 i seriously didnt like it looming on the horizon then of course clearing out atari sega 3d0. well everyone except nintendo,

     

    of course in those days cd rom games ( barring the sweet turbografx cd!) as a majority ments full motion video shit. im sure we can all agree on that, when the sega cd hit and the first 50 games were all movies, it really put a bad taste in my mouth,

     

    thankfully sony (and sega and nintendo) realized that this wasnt the way to go and cd roms had the change to outshine cart rom and truly make some good games

     

    sony, much like nintendo exactly 10 years before needed to have a lock on the market and needed to drive those other platforms out of the game or else the state of games today would probbaly be sad, if not already nonexistent.

     

    getting off the topic a bit though since it has sort of titled to opnions of sony as a whole (which is fine) i think about every 10 years here needs to be an "invisible hand" so to speak since it seems a new tech gets brought in every 10 years or so and people try to jump o it and there needs to be one that sets the mold for the next gen.

     

    think of online games now and think of the next gen when probably the majority of games wil be equipped with, also think that other companies (possible ones that deal in online service, aol im looking at you!) might bring out a system or 2 to play in the game

     

    if yu compare this to cd rom boom, or the 3rd party boom of 1993-ish and 1983-ish respectily then obvioulsy see that sony and nintendo before them may not have been right in what they did but it was needed to keep the gaming game stable enough to move on.

     

     

     

    as far as new ps one games, when xbox and game cube hit i sort of was sad because quirky systems with quirky games seemed to be extint, think of systems and games like turbo grafx lynx, saturn even nuon. games that werent madly popular but had a devoted following, with all 3 new

    systems in the forfront it seeme to me that this type of game is gone, but i see with the psone it is reborn in a way, im just eternally sad the remake of dragon warrior was cancelled!

     

    and cheap games en masse? well of course, im sure most kids will only keep the gran turismos 2;s the final fantasys and sell off the rest and of course we coudl get them cheap

     

     

     

    of course this means i doubt well ever see psone games in thirfts, but most games at EB are cheaper than atari games at thrifts! haha

    from what i have seen on the sony websites there are still psone games planned on release until the end of the year.

     

     

    so when do you think it will truly end?

     

     

    personally i think they could make cheap conversions and spit out 10$ games until the end of time and leave the advanced stuff up to the ps2

     

     

    whenever it ends though ill be sure to get the last psone game as im sure it will garner some value someday.

    If the rumors about Nintendo dumping Rare to buy exclusivity with Sega are true, then I'd happily trade Rare for Sega.

     

    sega working only for nintendo is baaaaadd!!! i neevr want to see it.

     

    if they were going to make games for one system, why not stick with dreamcast but just not make any more systems?

     

    still what will big N do?

     

    Sega working only for Nintendo is MUCH better than working only for M$ or $ony. Nintendo and Sega have had a mutual respect all these years, even though they've been competitors.

     

    The rumors started off as Sega joining forces exclusively with one of the three big hardware makers. Only since the acquisition of Rare by M$ have the rumors pointed Sega towards Nintendo.

     

     

     

     

    maybe because both have been developing games for so long that it coudl be a good partnership. but i think sega will limit themselves if they only stay on gamecube, i wish that each sega game had an x box gamecube and ps 2 version. i was hoping that was theie plan when dreamcast went RIP, but hasnt hapened yet, save for those pesky sports games.

    well i thought it might be one of their friends or something. not how i imagined the artwork for save mary to be like. i pictured it almost like donkey kong's, cartoony with a distressed damsel but a crane not a monkey :P

    get into nintendo and the stories run rampant

     

    the minus world, enough said!!! a book could be written on the hover boarding aroudn that one.

     

    That one actually does exist. I'm sure I've even downloaded and watched a save state or a movie file of it generated via NESticle. The method for doing it is documented on the net. I think it exists because of a programming bug in the game, but either way, it's kind of pointless. You get stuck in the -1 world for infinity until you reset or quit.

     

     

    but i already said i know the minus word exists, i am simply stating that what people say about actually beating it and going elsewhere in the game is false

    Granted, I loved the 2600 version, but it was always too easy against the computer. Sounds like the 7800 computer is a lot tougher.

     

     

    Cap

     

     

    are you crazy?! i hated one player 2600 rs baseball. you cant ever get out of the 1st inning, one time i must have played the computer for 2 hours, every player hit or got walked, it is impossible to throw a strike!!

     

    2 player is great fn however

    get into nintendo and the stories run rampant

     

    the minus world, enough said!!! a book could be written on the hover boarding aroudn that one.  however in SMB1 the small firey mario DOES exist.

     

    The Minus world does exist! While I have never got there, Gary (GOAT Store partner) can get there usually on one or two tries. It involves getting to level 1-2, and doing something odd near the warp zones. When you warp, you end up in "Level - " Pretty cool, but that level isn't any fun. (it is a swimming level)

     

    The only myth that I had I came up with myself -- In Pitfall II, I figured that if I got a high enough score and took a picture of it, I could send it to Activision for my prize. I played the game for hours and even took some pictures of it, but since it was 1988 by the time I was any good... No prize :(

     

     

     

    what i shoudl have said is the myraid of stories of people who CLAIMED to get past the minus world. again too many to get into here

    Mc pizza was horrible.... It doesnt even exist in Canada any more! At least in the western provinces, it may still in the east.

      Mcdonalds does a lot of testing up here. IN the maritime provinces they have a lobster sandwich......yuch....I love lobster, but not Mclobster!! :D

     

     

    wow that is sooooooo weird!!! i wish i had test market areas, all we had was clear pepsi before everyone else. :ponder: :roll:

     

    i guess there was some truth in that then,

     

    i remeber when i was 17 and greenday hit really big , alot of people said "one of thier songs" othe said teh song "she" was juts a clash song played backwards note for note. anyone hear this?

     

    wish i had some atari hover board stories but i just dont

  18. Posted

    the 2600? 5200? the computer line?

     

    i woudl say the 7800 while not hand made by a native atari employee was guided by them, unlike lynx which was made and then bought,

     

     

    if you want to compare other systems dont forget the turbo express which to me beat everythign till the GBA, but it and nomad really arent true "portables" since its based on other technology,

    i usually refer to things like this as "hover-board stories"

     

    why?

     

    well..... in back to the future 2 there was a little device that was like a skate board but had no wheels.

     

    well not only was this a cool idea but had "mattel" slapped right on the side, though im sure in the 1985 vision of 2015 (which is how life in the future should be) they were made by all sorts of brands.

     

    anyways with a compnays name on this thing it was only obvious to all kids that this thing was right around the corner. despite never seeing it on tv in the news or in ads, at the store or anyone else ever owning one.

     

    that is, except for a kids "uncles" house who lives too far away for any kid to ever go see for himself. so obviously now we see that these kids were lying for our attention. but as kids we belived anything so we listened anyways to their bull plop.

     

    hover board stories i remebr form the atari days are few because, not anyone i knew during its 1st run had one and the 2nd one, having an atari was embarring compared to a nintendo.

     

     

    i remeber people bragging about a hot air balloon in pitfall. but i dont really have that one so i cant say if it is or isnt but no one recently has ever said there is

     

    the other is that in kangaroo you can play the stage as the baby and save the mom

     

    get into nintendo and the stories run rampant

     

    the minus world, enough said!!! a book could be written on the hover boarding aroudn that one. however in SMB1 the small firey mario DOES exist.

     

    in kung fu if you beat the 50th stage you can play as the girl, also someone told me it was possible to jump into one of the black windows and land in a room with a bunch of dragons

     

    lastly there was that nes voice activated headset, this happened to someone i know. a kid at his school was hover boarding about how if you say "beat the game" into the headset it wil actually show you the ending of any game (how this works with games like balloon fight, donkey kong 3 or pinball ill never know). so my friend goes home and that day begs his mom for the headset , later that day he comes home with it (keep in mind hes stinkin rich unlike me) hooks it up gets all ready and says "beat the game!!!!!" about 5 times till he realizes hes been duped.

     

    other general hover board stories include the rumors that mcdonals was going to have pizza and of course the hover board it self, as far as i knwo they are still around the corner
