Yeah, I actually just figured that out. heh heh... oh well...it kinda seems like you're note supposed to be there.

just a quick note. You can actually get into Chozodia (I think it was Chozodia) BEFORE you're supposed to. There's an elevator that went up into it from either Brinstar or Kraid. Anyway, you can get an item in there that is "not compatible" with your current suit, so I have a feeling that this might be that hidden weapon that makes the pirates a bit easier to deal with. When you work your way out of Chozodia, it ends up putting you WAY up above your ship on Crateria, so you've got to jump off and just fall all the way down to the ship.

hopefully there will be some new, free, online, pvp games pretty soon. Hopefully yes, that's a slight hint. Don't get too excited though.

It's still pretty decent (if I do say so myself), but most of the fun DOES lie in being able to mess with your friend's arrows. The computer can be set to a pretty high level of challenge, so it's impossible with your feet, and just barely possible with a normal controller (using your hands). If you set it at a medium level, it's ALMOST like playing another person that doesn't suck. Definitely a game for a party of people who like DDR. And then there's Typing of Fury... Just be prepared for insanity if you've got a DC Keyboard.

Both are cartridge format, and both share identical roms. So there are no "porting" issues, from teh arcade to home, simply different size pcbs that keep the two from being freely interchanged. With a BIOS mod, you can make the MVS play like an AES, or an AES play as the MVS. Don't forget that the adapter from MVS to AES is almost as expensive as its weight in gold! I've seen it go for a few hundred dollars on eBay. No tellin how much they are now. Hell, I can't even remember the name the users gave them (kinda like how the PC-Engine to TG-16 adapter is called a "Kisado"). I think I saw one of these adapters at the CGE this year, but then again, I saw a LOT of stuff at the CGE, so I could be wrong I've heard that you can pull the physical ROMs straight off of an MVS cart and stick them in the correct ports of an AES cart and vice versa. But if you're that desperate to save cash, would you really have either Neo Geo? =D

you know, if they put "smart ads" on the system so that it would make the system itself cheaper, or made the games significantly cheaper, I think it might be worth it. You know? make a portable system with the above listed specs for around $50? I think that might work... as long as the ads weren't up in your face while you're playing a game. Maybe during loading or something?

When I worked at my previous job (video game store), we always recommended Baldur's Gate (on Xbox) because it was a pretty decent action-style RPG for 2 people co-op.

Damn, that sucks. The game rules! It got great reviews from what I've seen, as well. I hope this isn't going to turn out as another ICO. Loved that game too, and it was recieved with quite a bit less purchasing than I'd hoped. Which reminds me, anyone know if they're still working on ICO 2?

While the following link doesn't lead you to actual "Screenshots" of Tryptonite, it does allow you to see what we're working on, lighting and modelling wise. http://www.cagames.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=313 I'll post again as soon as we have real screenies.

unless a game comes out with a web browser, the only way to surf the net on the PS2 would be with the Linux Kit. And then, it's just like using a computer (only slower). You'd have to get a device like a Dex Drive so that you can transfer the save from your PC to your memory card. I think there are some memory cards out now that attach to the PC somehow. Don't ask me where to find them though...I've only heard rumors.

Sorry about the lack of screenshots. As soon as we have something we like, it'll be posted. Dan is working fast an furious right now, trying to get some nice visual FX working in the in-game engine. The screens do exist, and the CA team has them, but they aren't really "worth" posting. I'll make sure to mention it here when they become available. Thanks for your interest

Hello AAers...good news for an old(er) system: Cryptic Allusion is going to release yet another game for the Dreamcast. We're going to update/finish off our previous project called "Tryptonite"; a demo of which was produced and released on the DC Tonic CD that was passed around at E3 a few years ago. Check out the website at www.tryptonite.com, and then head over to our forums to let us know what you think! Thanks, everyone...hope you're as excited about this as I am.

Okay people, get off your butts...rather, stay on them...and head (quickly!!!) over to www.spiketv.com. There you will see that Spike TV has announced that they are taking online votes for the Video Game Awards!!! There are sections for writing in nominees on (I think) all of the categories, so write in your own or (better yet), write in my company and our game (Cryptic Allusion's "Feet of Fury") for any of the categories. I just think it'd be hilarious to have a new game for a dead system win a brand spankin' new award... Of course, I don't really expect it to happen, but it would be fun to try. So, tell your friends, make them tell their friends. Get us on the show, or correct some of the HORRIBLE choices they've got up there (Madden 2004 nominated for best music?? Gimme a break!). Seriously! We need all the help we can get Thanks, and happy voting.

I think we might see some new inroads to game programming because of this. Like something that reacts to both your voice and facial expression (along the lines of Seaman, only a bit more complex). Also, don't forget that it's JUST a camera! How about a little picture in the corner of SOCOM 3 that shows the ACTUAL player you just killed?

That was one of my thoughts. Of course, if you get enough alcohol in your system (NOT the PS2, folks), nearly anything is fun
