I've added in some music for your trip down memory lane. If you're not into it, just turn it off.
For those curious, it's a midi interpretation of Sonic 3D Blast's"Rusty Ruins Act 1" bgm. Originally by Richard Jaques, midi-ized by Amberle Elessedil.
No, Tekken does suck. Thats my opinion. The characters are ugly, the moves are uninspiring. The combo's are stale. What fun is there in pounding in a ten button configuration and then watching the combo execute itself? I thought gameplay was about timing and execution, not "Please enter combo now. . . I'm sorry you have entered an invalid combo. Please insert more coins and try your combo again."

Comment: From the Joe and Mac Instruction Book, from the Wacky Game Quotes thread.
But, hey, that's part of the job, if you write something that you know a particular group won't like, you better learn to reap what you have sowed. And, in Nick's case, he just seems to be asking for it, I mean, come on, Blue Shadows? "Yeah, the framerate is higher, the game plays better and the characters are slightly bigger, but, the blue shadows are simply blue tinted, and that makes the game simply unplayable, buy a Playstation. (Oh, BTW, please don't change the music to original and find out how wrong I am)" If that's not a cry for help, I don't know what is.

Doom on Saturn sucks, so does Saturn!
yawn, In the exact same way that Cruisin' proves that the N64 is crap?
Or the same way that XTreme Games proves how bad the PSX is? And why does
the existance of better games (such as Powerslave, which shows that Doom's
fault is crappy programming) not matter to your "logic"? Get
a grip moron, and I don't mean on your anatomy.

SONY ISN'T ALL THEY ARE CRACKED UP TO BE, REALLY ALL THEY ARE ARE Penis Sucking Xperts!
jody
Correct. However, we didn't stop them from reviewing or commenting on the game AFTER it was released (when they could just BUY it). They did this for Dragon Force with the Japanese version. I think the reason they passed over the best Strategy game of 1996 (as other mags have attested) is that they don't "freak on military sims like those jap bastards." (Shouldn't that be the Gamefan motto, now?) :)

Comment: Atta boy Vic, get'em! For the actual article that started that whole thing, click here.(picture borrowed from Fatbabies)
And I wasn't saying everybody at Gamefan was biased towards the PSX, just Nick. I'm sure he doesn't hate the Saturn (you don't have to hate the Saturn to be biased against it), but merely loves his PSX much more. However, that yields the same result as hating the Saturn - He always is very hard on the games, and even when he gives them good marks, he HAS to put in little comments to bring it down a little. ie, sudden yearning for remixed music when it never bothered him before, snide remarks about how this is fantastic - on the Saturn at least, etc. I'm glad he's not reviewing as many games in the mag. - kevin

>> Is
Saturn better than PSX?
>> In
what ways??
I've seen only one PSX game that I want to play that hasn't been ported
over to the Saturn, for one. And Virtua Fighter has, does, and always
will blow Tekken out of the water when it comes to style and gameplay.
Saturn has the better load time of the two. If nothing else, the aesthetic
design of the machines themselves. Compared to the Saturn, PSX is butt
ugly. Need I say more?

Comment: Ah Lee4Deal, does anyone remember that guy? It was like an epidemic, the amount of people who got their asses jacked by him.
In the year of MARIO, Nineteen-hundred and ninety-six, The Mario Monks(may they be forever blessed) in an attempt to cease the growing tide of 32-bit unorthodoxy, heresy and hedonism, began a quest to enlighten the unbelievers and educate the video game masses. They did not succeed. It was therefore decided, in the year of MARIO, Nineteen-hundred and ninety-seven, that stronger measures were necessary. Thus began the HOLY INQUISITION of The Mario Monks or INQUISITION64.
Below is a transcript of the first inquisition conducted. The subject was a delusional 32-bit PSX game known as "Beyond the Beyond". It claimed that Sony(cursed is that name)could provide top-notch quality software and that it was indeed, such a game. And lo, The Mario Monks decreed that the game be subject to Mario's boundless mercy.
Herein lie the events as they occurred:
INQUISITION64, FILE: 1, CASE: 1, BEYOND THE BEYOND
Inquisitor: You are "Beyond the Beyond"?
BTB: Yes.
Inquisitor: Thou claimest to have hours of fabulous game play yet thou dost not. For this, canst thou account?
BTB: I can! Sony has...
Inquisitor[cracks his whip]: MARIO is thy master! Answer thou mine question, or face MARIO's mercy!
BTB: I...I...
Inquisitor: CANST THOU ACCOUNT!!?!!
BTB: ...no... I cannot.
Inquisitor: It is said that RPGs such as thou should have grand endings, yet thou hath no such. Canst thou not account for this too?
BTB: No...
Inquisitor: Art thou justified in costing fifty of the great dollars???
BTB: I am not.
Inquisitor: Beyond the Beyond...thou art truly overrated. Yet MARIO is not unforgiving. I shall now grant ye absolution.
BTB: Oh, Oh thank you!!
Inquisitor: Dost thou renounce Sony and Sega, in all it's forms?
BTB: I do.
Inquisitor: Dost thou relinquish the bits-of-32?
BTB: I do.
Inquisitor: Wislt thou swear to stop full motion video skipping from now on?
BTB: I will.
Inquisitor: I now pronounce thee absolved. Release him of his burden.
BTB: WAIT..PLEASE..NO...I THOUGHT.......NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
The Beyond the Beyond source code was removed and deleted.
May MARIO bless you all!
The Mario Monks
GameFan
and Doom64:
No I think the point they're making is that Doom regardless of what system
it's on is still the same bullshit Space Marine blowing up the same devil
worshipping dead things. But then again this is Nintendo 64, so all Satanic
themes have probably been removed and replaced with something a little
more feasible like "Evil alien scourge" or "The system"
or some likely bullshit. And next is "Duke Nuetered 64"!!! Where
when you start the level Duke shouts, "Those alien son-of-a-guns
are gonna pay for blowing up my ride!" and later, "I'll rip
off your head and have a number two down your throat!" I hope my
point was clear there, the Nintendo 64 bashing was absolutely free of
charge.

The N64 Song (sung to the tune of "If It Makes You Happy" by Sheryl Crow)
Games are a long, a long way from here
Grabbed the Nintendo, stuck in Mario, and played till I was nauseous again
We been searchin' through retail jungles
Found a dozen controllers
Turok and Hangtime
And Mario Kart 64
Well OK, I made this up
But I promise you I'll never give up
If it makes us happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes us happy, then why the Hell are we so mad?
Logged on, to get the lowdown
Listened to Next Gen, had a conniption
Well who hasn't been there before?
Games comin' round, around the long way
Pretty soon we'll see Doom
Starfox comes out in June
And Zelda could be out this year
Well OK, I'll still have fun
Just wake me up when Metroid is done
If it makes us happy, it can't be that bad
If the games look snappy, who cares if choices are this bad?
If it makes us happy, it can't be that bad
It it makes us happy, then why the Hell are we so mad?
Games are far, far away from here
Fly to Nintendo, grab Miyamoto
And tie him to his workstation chair
Well OK, they'll be along
So what if right now everything's gone?
If it makes us happy, it can't be that bad
If it makes us happy, then why the Hell are we so mad?
If it makes us happy...
:)

>> If
it does drop does this mean Sega Saturn is in "discontinued mode",
where any new Sega Saturn CD's will not be developed????
You mean like the Playstation and N64 are in "discontinued mode"
with their price cuts? (Insert joke here about how the game selection
for the N64 has been perilously close to "discontinued mode"
ever since it shipped...)
Phaedrus
For it has been written, those who have foresaken the almighty SEGA......heed this warning, or face eternal videogame mediocrity. SEGA has spoken...and the word of SEGA will be all that is now. I have been instructed to begin SEGA's divine plan of mass assimilation. Come now, gather 'round my words of wisdom....before it is too late for your videogame soul. Listen to SEGA's words and repent. - King of all Devils
-KAD
Thou shalt bow down before thy master, SEGA, and repent your sins of videogame unrighteousness.
-SINNER
I bow down before my master, SEGA. I repent my sins of videogame unrighteousness.
-KAD
Thou aren't worthy to be brought back into SEGA's midst.
-SINNER
I am not worthy of eternal gameplay bliss. I have foresaken all that is SEGA. I have followed the false prophets and have ignored all that is righteous.
-KAD
Thou shalt make an offering of repentence. What shall thy offering be?
-SINNER
I shall forsake all that is SONY. I shall foresake all that is NINTENDO.
-KAD
Prepare sinner, to make your sacrifice.
-SINNER
I send into eternal damnation all that is SONY. (SINNER turns Platstation upside down on the sacrificial alter) I forsake skipping FMV. (SINNER grabs hold of the staff of videogame righteousness) I forsake poor design and overheating. (SINNER crushes the useless machine with the staff of videogame righteousness) I send into eternal damnation all that is NINTENDO. (SINNER puts the N64 on the sacrificial alter) I forsake quality before quantity, for it has all been deceit and lies. (SINNER grabs hold of the staff of videogame righteousness) I forsake the Mario Monks, for they have been speaking in tongues and are evil. (SINNER crushes the useless machine with the staff of videogame righteousness)
-KAD
Go now, SINNER, and enter the wilderness of eternal despair. Go there now for forty days and forty nights. Upon many nights of videogame soul searching, SEGA may find it in its glorious mercy to give you a second chance at videogame righteousness. Go now...and do not return until you are summoned...

Videogamespot had a preview of the *Saturn* title Dead or Alive yesterday on their site. It was littered with the typical crap about how the Saturn would be lucky to get a halfway decent conversion out of a Model 2 game. Now this I can live with because the Model 2 is quite a bit more powerful than the current crop of consoles and, well, VGS is a pretty gay site and you have to expect this kind of crap from something related to EGM. You can also forget about them hearing about the positive feedback the demo got at the Tokyo Game Show since that would be actual news.
ERICLOB
In
other words Urban Champion for my NES is a warranted game 'cause I can't
actually duke it out with West Side Story street thugs whilst lil' grannies
drop flower pots on my head from windows above for no good reason. Really,
when was the last time any of us shoved a punk into a manhole? I can't
actually vaporize baddies with my space-ship vacuum cleaner a la Vacuum
Kids for PS. Why play NBA Shoot Out 97 when playing real hoops is "better?"
Why play Tokimemo when real dating is "better?"
That's right. You play those games because you CAN'T do them in real life,
which was my POINT. You can't play hoops professionally, or pilot an F-16,
or annihilate legions of Orcs in real life, unless you're either especially
lucky or significantly deluded.
Castellan
If at any point in development the game does not meet the Five Star Games Policy criteria by falling below a score of 90, the panel will direct designers to fix the problems, or drop the project all together. Let's hope that Sega doesn't shove their feet in their mouth and allow games like Cruisn' USA and Wargods to be released for their system, like this "other" system that claimed to have a Quality standard for their system.
Comment: This one worked well didn't it?
The Saturn has definately been snubbed by the gaming community in general, but SEGA will ALWAYS be involved in the gaming industry whether setting the pace, or lagging behind. Besides where would Namco get all their ideas for future games. :)

Working Design should get there own booth because they been plubishing

For
Sale:N64 Dust Covers:
I know what most Nintendo 64 owners are thinking right now:

Well that's where you're wrong! Introducing the Nintendo 64 dust cover!

Custom manufactured from polyvinyl chloride, your Nintendo 64 dust cover
is guaranteed to prevent dust corruption for the lifetime of your Nintendo

well, none of *MY* Blockbusters got FMM today, as SaturnWorld said they would. Incidentally, there are 14 shelves of PSX, 5 shelves of N64 (how? there are only 11 games!!!), and a whopping 2 shelves of Saturn stuff. i guess we know where BB stands on this issue, no? none of the managers i spoke with (3, in all) had any idea what i was talking about, none of the employees had any idea, there was nothing on the shelves, or windows
-- no promos, nothing. the best response i could get was : "well, we don't rent much Saturn stuff here..."
right. well, with that big selection (Astal, Myst, VF *1*, and of COURSE Die Hard Trilogy), it's no wonder. oh well. another day wasted dealing with people who try to tell me what i should like. no surprise there. thanks, Blockbuster. makes me glad i own that card.

Zapf: "Are there any titles out in the US that you think deserve to have had a better translation?"
Victor Ireland: "Whew. Too many to list. Definitely Mystaria/Blazing Heroes. I think the crack was affecting the translator's job performance. All the FF's have fallen short, in my opinion. The text does not have the emotional impact to match the visuals."

I opened the mailbox and couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!A Gamefan magazine. I didn't realize that they still sent magazines to their subscribers.

G!
I believe Release dates are written in stone. I believe the Japanese version of a game MUST be better, because I can't understand it. I believe that Paulie Shore is funny. I believe that Sega, and Working Designs, do not want my money; they are in business just to personally piss me off. I believe the customer is always right, no matter how ignorant or wrong we actually are. I believe Programmers really spend all there time watching Star Trek reruns, making my games late. I believe that if it isn't in 3d, I cannot actually see it, therefore it is no good. I believe sales reps when they tell me that Sony loves me for who I am. I believe that people speak literally, even when the sarcasm is smacked into the back of my head with a 2 by 4. I believe Victor Ireland is Irish. I believe companies make games only because the love me; money has nothing to do with it. I believe the 16 year old sales rep at EB, who hasn't yet discovered Clearasil, understands the video game business better than anyone, never lies, and never makes stuff up because his girlfriend is on the other line. I believe my life will end if I can't play a game RIGHT NOW. I believe companies delay games because they really like to read the posts on Usenet, and enjoy full mailboxes of complaints; also I believe that the time spent reading said posts/e-mails will make the game come out faster - and bug free. I BELIEVE THE HYPE.
Not.

the Panzer Dragoon series, both soundtracks are masterpieces as far

Actually, there's one thing I wish WD would touch on: the fact that you can go in anybody's house and no one minds (well, they did in AO a bit "Mom! Pike's using our house as an expressway again). I'd love to see "So, you just walk into my house without knocking, invade my privacy when I could be doing God knows what, and you're looking for information...perhaps my friend Mr. Enchanted Battleaxe could give you some information, like whether or not your helmet can save you from your skull being split wide open...AAAYYYAAIII!!

I
agree, Suikoden was a quality rpg and I had a good time with it. However,
I liked it for its traditional characteristics, not for its gimmicks.
I didn't really knock myself out to get all 108 characters, considering
9 out of 10 of them would never see battle. And I mean a real party battle.
The only kind of real battle in Suikoden.
The army vs army and one-on-ones? Yeah, I liked the engine for them..back
when it was called rock-paper-scissors. Pretty spooky when you can compare
an scene from the Simpson exactly with a game:
Simpsons: (Lisa)We'll have to decide it the old fashioned way, a game
of rock-paper-sciscors.
Suikoden: We're going to battle!
Simp:(Lisa, thinking to herself)Poor predictable Bart, always choosing
rock.

Hedgehog arrested for possession
Early this morning, Sonic the Hedgehog was spotted illegally spin-dashing on the wrong side of the Virtua City Marina, street racing Super GT cars along Dolphin Tunnel. Virtua City Police engaged Sonic in a high-speed chase that swept through the city over the course of four hours, ending only in Sonic falling 30 feet off a platform in the Spring Hill Zone.
At the scene, arresting officer Janet Marshall found 3 grams of illegal blast processors, worth thousands on the black market. Blast processors were banned from non-16bit systems in the early 90's, as they had dangerously unstable effects, accelerating graphic effects in one characters, doing nothing for others. Sonic has been arrested before for BP possession, but had apparently been taken to full 32-bit operancy with the release of Sonic Jam.
Already, rumors are spreading among the game paparazzi that Sonic's recent breakup with longtime companion Sarah Bryant triggered his relapse. Sonic's career was flat during the mid-90's, with the mediocre Sonic 3D Blast his only Saturn title. However, the industry expects him to make a modest comback with his compilation title Sonic Jam, coming this August, and Sonic R, a charity race sponsored by Sonic Team Enterprises. Also rumored in the works is a totally remastered Sonic title in the works for the brand new Sega platform.

Obviously really effective advertising since I missed it. Sega need to use more TV ads and more cinema commercials. They are *reasonably* cheap and very useful as you can hit a wide target audience. Certainly in the run up to Xmas. What we need are lots of footage of Quake and DN3D and some message saying something along the lines of "Think your PSX can do this? Get fucked!" would work just fine :-)

Phosphor
99:
Thats right! While all you people have been arguing over whos got the
biggest polygon TANDY has been working on the Phosphor 99! The system
that will make other consoles obsolete! (including itself). I don't have
all the specs yet but I do know it will be able to generate 1 billion
frosted mini-polygons and run at 1 fps. Hah, pretty impressive huh? It
will also be able to display 1 billion colors on the screen at one time(possibly
causing irrepairable eye damage as well as busting your tv)!
It won't use cartridges or cd-rom! It will use the revolutionary paper
and pencil medium to store all the games the software folks can write
down! And it will have an additional storage medium that will use the
high storage capability of vinyl disk called the 44 double-d!
But we all know its GAMES that make a good console great. And some of
top software companies are working frantic on some of the best games out
there! On the release date there should be one 50% finished game and several
8X10 glossys to play with. Some of the 3rd party companies already signed
are:
Maws bait N tackle
Hoe-vision
K-tel
Crayola
Electronic Arts
and several other companies we can't name because we would be lying.
Some of the games being work on:
Pencil Break-fighting game with over 42 different color pencils.
Blank screen -puzzle game where you must find something to do.
Shake -3d shooter where you travel thru the microsoft building and shoot
all the monsters (features bill gates as the end boss)

be in bed.... Um yes Phosphor 99! out in a flash, then up in smoke...

What was announced at the Creators' Conference, however, was something unexpected: instead of programming the game for Sega's next system, Warp will instead make the game for the Saturn. To make sure everybody heard correctly, Eno wrote "Sega Saturn" on a cocktail napkin and held it up for everone to see. When asked when he will announce the title publicly, he simply stated, "I already have."
As great of a combo as that makes, I feel bad making her kiss Dhalsim.....

Secretary: Sir, a representative from Sega of Japan is here to see you...
Bernie: Whooosh! Zooom! Ah, what an unexpected surprise...give him a Batman
cape and let him in!
SOJ Rep: Hello, Mr. Stolar.
B: Put on your cape, man! Your cape!
SOJ: Uh, all right...
B: Now, then, old friend. What did you want to talk to me about? Is there
a menace in Gotham City?
SOJ: Uh, no, er...'Superman.'
B: It's not like you to pay social visits, Batman.
SOJ: Well, 'Superman', I'm here on behalf of Sega Enterprises, I've been
assigned to relieve you of your position.
B: What?
SOJ: Yes, that's right, take Krypto and get the hell out of here.
B: Why, you cad! You must be under the control of some criminal mastermind!
SOJ takes off cap.
SOJ: Bernie, get the hell out of here...
B: You mean, you're SERIOUS!?!?!? But, I was having so much fun running
Sega!
SOJ: That's nice, Bernie. But I think it's time we took you back to the
retirement home and gave you your medication.
B: But I don't like that place! The people there are mean and they don't
let me watch TV!
SOJ: Well, we'll give you your own TV, how's that?
B: Really? That's great! Okay, let's go!

I know I'm gonna revive
When I am...on the road.
I've got nowhere to hide
When I am...on the road.
And there's no use in wondering why
It made you feel like running from me then, girl
How many more tears must I shed
So as to melt the freezing wall of time?
So I'm gonna break it
Have no fear...on the road.
You know I'm sure to make it
No matter what's...on the road.
And don't you know it's very hard
She keeps barking to the silver moon
But I don't care how long it takes
As long as she lights up my way in the gloom
Until the very moment...when I see you again
I keep steering along the road to the sun
The burning sun
Hear the roars of my car, I'm nearly round the bend
Searching for a love that we did share
There's no one who can stop me now
Stirring, no? This is from memory, so there might be a word or two wrong, but it should be very nearly exact (after all, who could forget that theme?). :)
To
the citizens of the Sega Nation:
Well, what a year we've had, a year that all of us here at Sega of America
are very proud of. We began by jumping into a Crazy Taxi and ended by
changing the face of gaming (once again) with the incredible experience
that is Shenmue. In between we've converted a further two million non-believers
to the glory of Dreamcast, launched the world's first console gaming network,
had numerous animated conversations with Seaman, lost our hearts to Ulala,
outrun The Man in Jet Grind Radio, and showed EA what sports games should
play like in NFL 2K1 and NBA2K1. But we couldn't have done any of this
without the incredible support of all the Sega fans out there who have
stuck with us during the tough times and now are reaping the joys that
only incredibly fun and innovative games can bring... and there's only
one company that can consistently create such ass-kicking, Sony-stomping
games....SEGA!!!!!!
Happy Holidays to you all,
Peter Moore

they're black,
they're ugly,
they're no fun,
a lot of kids who deserved one this xmas didnt get one,

I thought it was like a woman.
It can be used upright or on it's bottom.
It's very expensive.
There's no satisfaction.
No one understands the Emotion Engine.
It gets taken out less and less the longer you have it.
And finally, it prefers seeing movies over playing videogames.

Mario
is the most incompetent dolt to ever grace a videogame.
First of all, he's a womanizer. That wasn't Princess Peach he was saving
in Donkey Kong, that was a girl named Pauline! Mario dumped her after
one game, and Princess Peach isn't his first Princess either.
Secondly, plumber-boy has yet to ever be seen actually fixing a pipe.
The man has no visible means of support, and several expensive hobbies
like Tennis, Golf, and Kart Racing.
Thirdly, he never finished off an enemy. Donkey Kong is still around,
no worse the wear for the "capture" by the mustachioed maniac.
Bowzer has been spotted on the same race course as Mario and his kidnap
victim Princess Peach. Apparently Mario couldn't even serve an order of
protection on a turtle.
Mario is a villain. He rides endangered animals. He breaks into castles
and helps himself to any coins he finds. He smashes bricks and damages
private property.
Sonic, on the other hand, doesn't need a job. Most hedgehogs live by the
rules of nature, and Sonic's only unnatural item is the shoes. That, and
he's blue. And kinda fast.
Sonic doesn't play up to any Princess to get her daddy's money, either.
Sonic does have an unhealthy affinity for gold rings, but it's not his
fault that some nutcake leaves the things all over the place. At least
he doesn't go breaking into castles to get them.
Sonic's a much better guy than Mario. I'm of the opinion that if Mario
saw a Flicky, he'd fireball the poor thing.

That
actually seems sort of silly as an outcome. NBA2K2 ads are probably already
done running, as the game is now months old, and the cost to even run
the spot probably far exceeded the pittance of $50,000. Nike gets nothing,
Sega gets a tax break on a donation they'd probably budgeted to run the
spots with anyway, and no wrongdoing is admitted. Sega's coming out way
ahead on this deal, and Nike's getting zilch. Nike ain't exactly the masters
of bargaining here, at least not as I see it.
NIKE: HEY SEGA! Stop that Ad run you've been making for three months!
SEGA: Stop our three-month ad run after three months? Erm, Okay.
NIKE: And DONATE money to our favorite children's charity too!
SEGA: Put our name in front of kids and get a tax deduction? Good idea.
NIKE: Don't MAKE us come after your ass this hard again!

Phantasy Star Online: The Trading Card Game!
by Fat and Rich Wizards of the Coast (who else?)
* THRILL to the excitement of playing your favorite video game in trading
card format! And then come play Phantasy Star when you're done with Pokemon...
* MARVEL at your inability to find rare cards (like the Nei's Claw or
the Ranger Wall) forcing you to spend more money on booster packs and
overpriced, opened cards...
* BEHOLD the gamers who take second and third jobs at Piggly Wiggly and
Jiffy Lube so they can support their trading card game habit...
* WONDER at the fact that for something that calls itself a trading card
game, everybody just goes out and buys new cards and nobody seems to trade
with each other...
...and if you enjoyed the trading card game, you'll love...
Phantasy Star Online: The Live Action Role Playing Game
Tired of sword and sorcery? Vampirism lost its appeal? Don't like detective
stories? Then come and experience the PSO-LARP, which guarantees that
you'll have just as much fun as if you were playing PSO at home!
* Special rules allow hacking and item duplication, allowing diva players
to dominate the floor and make the game less fun for others!
* Inconsistent rule enforcement means that quiet, introverted players
can get away with unlimited technique usage and discount equipment purchases!
* Poor translation of terms and jargon means hours of argument over interpretation
of combat and encounter scenarios!
...and if you thought that was even remotely funny, I present to you...Phantasy
Star Online: Murphy's Rules! (which could be by Steve Jackson Games)
Socialized Medicine -- (picture: a Ranger with a band-aid on his face
holds a sheet of paper, comparing his with one held by a Force with both
legs in casts and one arm in a sling)
* In Phantasy Star Online, it always costs ten units of currency to restore
all health in the medical center, regardless of whether you're down by
two hit points or two-thousand hit points.
Credit where credit is due -- (picture: a scrawny android kneels proudly
beside a dead Hildebear. Next to the android is a brawny Hunter, leaning
on his sword, panting and dripping with sweat.)
* In Phantasy Star Online, experience points are divided evenly between
any number players who register at least one hit on the same monster,
no matter who did more work to defeat it.
I just work here -- (picture: the clerk at the Check Room is shrugging
at an annoyed Force. Two lockers of the same size are shown behind them;
one is bulging to contain a very long photon sword, the other is bare
except for a single Scape Doll.)
* In Phantasy Star Online, a tiny computer chip used to enhance armor
takes up the same amount of space as a seven-foot long bladed weapon when
stored for future use.

Here are some stupid questions we get where I work.
1. "Do you have the back-piece?" (Back-piece: see also RF COnvertor)
The cromag customers can't grasp the idea of the term RF Convertor/Switch. PAthetic.
2. "Why's War Gods box so big?" (In reference to War Gods N64 display box)
All I have to say is. . . Well; it worked.
3. This conversation:"What's a good game?" says the cattle.
"Well, what type of game are you looking for? Fighting, Sports, Action?" I reply, grasping for something that obviously I will never get from this customer, a clue.
"Uhhh. .. . I dunno. What's good?"
"Well there's Tomb Raider."
"Is that like Tekken*?"
"no. . . . " I walk away.
(*) Why is it Tekken players cannot for the life of them pronounce Tekken? They commonly refer to it as Tekken with a long "E". Resulting in this ear piercing catastrophe. Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekken.
4. "Is it tight?" (In reference to a game I reccomend)
I wouldn't know, I've never shafted a CD/Cart before. I'd imagine it could be quite painful and embarrassing at the emergency room.
5. "Can I use play these games on the PLaystation?" (As they peruse the PC game section) "Why not" (After I answer)
I dunno ask the pope tough guy.
And another thing I hate is the liberal BULLSHIT RETURN POLICY!!! Customers who cannot read Game Fan or EGM for a synopsis or review of a game deserve to get stuck with whatever they purchase. Quite frankly I'm tired of the bullshit excuse of "Did not like" being filled out on game returns that aren't defective/damaged/or otherwise unplayable. Not liking a game is not our fault. Especially considering I told them repeatedly that "The Crow: City of Angels" is a terrible game! Or buying a copy of Die Hard Arcade which you returned the previous day because it was too easy, then returning it again after your dirty cunt friends got their chance to play it also! To hell with return policies. It's your own fault for not being informed! Take two minutes to read the blurb on the back of the games box. Damn. This just pisses me off to no end. Returns should only be made on defective products for the same title. No money back, you fucking bought Criticom after I told you openly that it was a bad game so you should burn in Hell with it!!! Ack. . . I'm having a terrible day. That was rather theraputic. *phew*

"...Although what I was told was all off the record, I had a very reliable friend who worked on the project for a short time who claimed that a big reason the game was scrapped was because of egos stemming from Japan. When Resurrection project was given to an American team, feelings were "hurt" overseas. Essentially the Japs didn't think Konami Of America could pull off a 'Vania game. Later, when things started looking good graphically and what-not, certain members of the N64 team and other KOJ people felt threatened at the rate of success the American team was showing. Apparently when the project was well under way there was a lot of micro-management from Japan when initially there was none, and things started getting really bad when there was a move to transfer Resurrection from the U.S. to Japan for revamping and editing. (In the words of my friend "So the Japs could claim it as their own.") I'm sure this isn't the only factor, but apparently it was one of the bigger ones...
I can't believe he said 'Japs'! Jesus christ.

A 69-year-old woman was hit on the head with a computer game console as she tried to stop her son being attacked by a burglar. Maureen Palmer, 69, found her 41-year-old son wrestling with the intruder at the family home in Greystoke Road, Slough, Berkshire. Mrs Palmer cried out "nobody hurts my son", but the man hit her over the head with the PlayStation that he had just stolen from the living room.

Ever. EVER. No new NiGHTs, no new Panzer Dragoon, no Shenmue 3, and no good Sonic games. NONE. If anyone ever tells you otherwise, send their address to our attorneys, and we'll be sure to sue them until they can't afford pants. That's right, not even PANTS."

Katamari Damacy was released in 2004, so let's look at the top selling games of 04:
1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
2. Halo 2 (Xbox)
3. Madden NFL 2005 (PS2)
4. ESPN NFL 2K5 (PS2)
5. Need For Speed: Underground 2 (PS2)
6. Pokemon Fire Red /w Adapter (GBA)
7. NBA Live 2005 (PS2)
8. Spider-Man: The Movie 2 (PS2)
9. Halo (Xbox)
10. ESPN NFL 2K5 (Xbox)
Looking at these lists, I'd say OutRun doesn't necessarily need to be dumbed down for the PS2 audience, it just needs more angry black folks in it. Either that or a Star Wars license.

I laughed for about ten minutes at that line!. We should ammend the
Genesis Game Guide entry for Sword of Sodan to include your comment :-)

> Seriously, you can't imagine that the game was named carelessly. There's nothing objectionable in the game (apart from the main character being acerbic and annoying) and none of the dialogue or art is suggestive in any way. And even gamers who haven't played it know the game. It's a rare example of brilliant, self-perpetuating marketing from Sega.
True, one of the few to use the microphone
(and I would think the first) for the Dreamcast. But just think of
having a conversation with a phrase that started with "Hey,
have you tried Seaman? Wow, its really great, Seaman I mean, is really
good, very unusual. You can borrow my Seaman if you want to try it." Very
wrong in so many ways

when a Genesis can be had for $15 and SFII SCE can be purchased for

up, just really doesn't appeal to me as much as practically everyone
else.

Scott - Admiring the irony in public perception, Genesis doesn't have enough
colors to be "good", but oh man that NES is gamer heaven.

I'd consider buying an NES if I could
be sure I wouldn't have to blow in the carts or tap them a dozen times
to get them to play. I think a lot of people do look at most of those
8-bit games through rose colored glasses though. A lot of what we consider "classic" games,
haven't stood the test of time very well to me. Ninja Gaiden is probably
the
worst example of this. Back in the day, I thought TMNT2: The Arcade Game
was a technological marvel for the NES, now I can't tolerate it. If I
got another NES, my first picks would be Jackal, Contra, Super Contra,
and Galaga. I'd also buy Milan's Secret Castle, but only so I could break
it with a sledge hammer.

You're using Gmail; you're posting through Google Groups; have you ever considered actually using Google's search engine? Typing three of the words in your post and two sets of quote marks, I came up with something like 70,000 hits, and all the visible ones seem to be relevant.

I would like to see XBLA re-releases akin to R-Type XBLA for any of these. I would especially love Shinobi III done this way, but I'd also take Strider, Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Golden Axe, Golden Axe II, Mystic Defender, Sword of Vermillion, and well, the whole Genesis library that anybody remembers liking really.
This new 2.5D remix approach ensures a degree of quality control that Sega's XBLA and compilations do not have. I get a little bit more than if I just went on e-bay and bought the original. Stupid people who think everything ought to be 3D get tricked into playing great games. Everybody wins.
