Foxy Cleopatra

Although I wouldn't say any game is a must have on the N64, I agree that this game is very kid-friendly, my son and I enjoy playing it.

Speaking as some one who worked in the pharm industry, I can tell you that the FDA will not approve a product that has no increased efficacy, less side effects/ toxicity than a similar product on the market, unless it is a generic. Generic's are expected to have the same effect as the brand name, but that involves a whole different series of clinicals... so the comparison does not really hold up in that regard but I agree with what you are saying

I was so lucky to have grown up in a town on the border between PA and OH, right next to the major highway going from somewhere out west all the way to New York City. We have a truck stop called Truck World Mall that has had an arcade room as long as there have been arcade games... so that was my first experience with nearly every arcade game I have ever played, including Pac Man.. Of course I pretty much sucked at every game I played

After I wasted my quarter on Asteroids, and then another on Joust, because I died in 10 seconds on both I made my way over to the Space Invaders machine. That was my game. Who cares that I never cleared the screen? It was just fun, fun, fun! Good times, good times. Jim those machines are bringing back so many memories

Oh don't get me started on sports games! They don't even count as entertainment as far as I am concerned. Go outside and actually play the game....

No not ALL sequels. If they wanted to make a couple or two more Jet Set Radio's (sadly they aren't ) I would be happy indeed, but it just seems that's all they are making right now and I am bored... but this belongs in another (or two) thread(s)

What about Tekken 3?

Shame on you both. I know and my mommy was nice enough to pick us up ours at Goodwill for $15.. too many systems not enough TV's

Well this is my current opinion on sequels: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21325

You should see my son go to town playing this game! He stands up and yanks on that controller when he is trying to reel the fish in! It is so cute, I'm just waiting for him to topple over with some of the bigger fish... Oh and I have a cousin whose friend pulls out a lawn chair, his fishing box, puts on a straw hat, and gets a cooler of beer when he plays...

Thank God! I've finally found the perfect accessory for my imitation wood grain couch, my imitation wood grain other couch, and my imitation wood grain recliner.... I'm really a dumb ass

My friend used to have the coolest neon sigh in her room. It was a Miller Light sign, but it had this lighted black board that you could write on with crayons and they glowed. I know I am digressing but this just made me think of it....

That's what $20 or so? I'd love to play it again, but we don't have the 2600 out of the attic

Just because something is popular, does not mean it is good. I will agree that many people follow trends simply so they can be like everyone else, look like everyone else, act like everyone else, because they are to scared to actually have a personality of their own, but honestly what does it prove that Tommy Hilfinger can sell a butt load of clothes? Does that make his brand of jeans better than say Levi's, or Wrangler? If it makes someone feel good to quote a bunch of sales figures to "prove" look how good I am, great do it. I personally don't give a rat's furry butt, and it does not impress me, or make me think, "Geez I might be missing something here."

Hoopla!! I'm jealous. I can't find any GC games cheap. Not SSX, not Eternal Darkness, not anything. They're either sold out at the bargain price (sorry no more available) or on sale somewhere else for $50 smackers. Well I got mine used for $18 minus the discount, plus a guide for $4 minus the discount and the EB games I got it at has them new for $20 so I was pretty excited! I'm still looking for Blood Rayne for $20 or $25 but can't find it. Sorry for hijacking this topic (oh man I've been waiting to use that one!!)

I wonder how much it would cost to have one of those made?

Does anyone know if Adventure has ever been on an anthology for any of the "newer" systems? thanks

Don't quite get what the deal is with this game, but I did get a copy of Eternal Darkness for under $20 today. Woo Hoo! I dunno, Zelda looks like a cartoon. I have never played any of the Zelda games so that could be the reason for my not getting why there is such a big hoopla about it... I think I just posted this so I could use the word hoopla...

Well if greatness is determined by sales than that means PC's are better than MAC's because they sell more. Unless you have stock in the company or work for them and get bonus's based on sales, what difference does it make. Everyone posts these sales statistics like they prove something, IMO they don't. Just because a company can slam the airwaves and media with ad's and brainwash the public into thinking they need to have something, and the public buying into it, just proves the public are suckers.

Yea I know, but the one's that are receiving all the promoting are the sequel games, most of the ones you mention aren't getting much ad time. So the industry keeps pumping out all those games that have been done before in the hopes of making a S***load of money. I mean, lord, Mario has been around almost as long as me, don't you think it's time to throw him a retirement party, buy him a gold watch and bring in some fresh faces? There were what 1,000,000 Mario games on the N64? You'd go into Wal-Mart and the case would have fifty boxes with that little Italian guys face on it. It looks like the same thing is starting to happen across the board.

So I am reading through the new Electronic Gaming magazine, checking on what titles will be coming out this year, and it pretty much looks like a release list from.. well any year out of the past 5, 6, whatever... ok PS2 will have 2 new FF one online (possibly Japan only) one not, GT4, Resident Evil:Network, Silent Hill 3, Tomb Raider 6,000,001, Driver 3 (but that'll be on all 3 systems) XBox Halo 2 (eagerly awaited! ) Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 2, another Star Wars game (sigh), Driver 3 GC Zelda (also eagerly awaited) F-Zero, FF:Crystal Chronicles, Mario, Mario, Pikmin2, Pokemon, Starfox, Driver 3 And I know each will have even more sequels that weren't listed I understand the logic, if you've got a winner capitalize on it as much as you can, even though the outcome may not be great (DMC2 anyone?) but I'm getting very bored... I just hope Fable and that P.N. 03 will be as great as they are saying Does the gaming industry need some fresh game designers?

I am sorry, I don't understand what the big deal about sales is? Just because the PS2 has higher game sales doesn't mean the games are great, and just because the sales for GC games are low doesn't mean those games are not great. It seems like you guys are trying to prove something, and I just don't think you have to. The PS2 has higher game sales (IMO): 1. Because it has been out longer than the other 2 systems and thus more people have them, which equals a lot of games sold, and 2. umm well I don't have a 2

Damn, I hope I win this auction. I better go get my sniper service working. Inky, you better watch out, this one is ALL MINE!!!!!

The difficulty of JGR is one of the reasons I like it better than JSRF. I've beat JSRF about 6 times already, but JGR only once. And you didn't have to really try to pull off tricks in JSRF, but that's not the type of game this is. Tony Hawk is all about tricks JSRF and JGR aren't. That's why I liked these games so much, they are just different from everything out there...

Unfortunately my job and class tonight has kept me from putting an end to this "war" before it got started. Everyone (mostly) knows that I do not like the PS2 because I have had really bad gaming experiences, but the point of this was NOT to debate the whole I suck, you suck, we suck, rather to discuss this fanzine's bias. I wonder how big a kickback the fanzine is getting from Sony. It's a pretty popular periodical, and I can't stand the bad reviews they constanly give the Xbox nad GC games. And to refute their claim of non bias. I have been reading GameInformer for well over a year, and have constantly been exposed to their bias for the PS2. They even answered a letter from a reader that asked them why they were so biased against the Xbox and GC, and said they weren't biased against either system, but you only have to read the magazine to see that just isn't true. another prime example of their bias came through when the discussed the online gaming potential of the systems, and how the Xbox's would do poorly because it was broadband only. I wanted to point out how impossible it was for that magazine to admit that the Xbox version of SC was better graphically then the PS2. I know many people feel that graphics aren't the end all be all of gaming experience. Why else would we so enjoy the classic systems, but the point is... I was sitting there reading the review and looking at comparison pictures of the same scene from each game and the PS2 was clearly lacking, AND YET GameInformer says it's not bad just different.
