Best console ever.

# Ooooh it was good, it was, specially Sonic 2, and Micro Machines
...but come now, N64 was way ahead of it's time.

I now have a game boy micro which is smaller than a NES controller yet plays SNES games! This wins!

# N64 was mainly popular for Goldeneye I believe,
a great game but I've never been truly on the Nintendo side.
Sega made far more games that I could relate to, such as Super Hang-on 2 and Streets of Rage.

Though I do have the Gameboy SP (NES version).

I particularly like the turn the series took with Majora's Mask much but Ocarina of time was classy.

# ha ha!
Nintendo get their "Kiddy" image from the American fear of computer games
It wasn't Nintendo that removed the blood from Mortal Kombat
it's was just deemed unlawful to show blood in computer games when Nintendo was King
in a bid to stop themselves being sued, censorship was introduced into american released titles.

Manhunt is banned in Germany, you could say there, Playstation has
a kiddie image due to the lack of adult games

# Manhunt is one of very few games that are really "banned" in Germany
many other adult games appear on the so-called "Index", but that doesn't mean they're forbidden, you just can't buy them in a normal store.
Sadly, video game companies tend to release special de-violated versions for the german market because of this.
I remember Command&Conquer with Bots instead of soldiers, for instance. They just crunched when you drove over them :-/

# heh heh
yeah, it's the fear of what will happen if something goes wrong
you can't blame the video game creators
they're just blokes making toys they enjoy
they hardly want to be accused of causing mass murder
when some GTA playing freak kills in the name of digital sin

# Nintendo exclusive games were the best...
...I came in late with an N64, then a PS1

But now my sony PSP with all the firmware and emulators and shenaniganery makes it teh winnar (if we're including handhelds) ^_^

what were you thinking, Sega?!
(, Tue 8 May 2007, 15:28, archived)
# but the Saturn was more powerful than the Playstation
they just never marketed as well as Sony did their toy

so whose fault was it really?

# Actually as I recall it the playstation had the technological edge
due to the fact the Saturn was in part salvaged from the 32X. I was a saturn owner and loved the thing but I can appreciate how Sega ballsed up, especially with the european controllers.
(, Tue 8 May 2007, 15:35, archived)
# for polygons maybe
but for sprite pushing power, the Saturn shits on the PS from a great height

hence the better beat em-ups, shooters, and RPGs that appeared on the saturn
some of the best ever created in fact

They've all but destroyed the Sonic franchise, lost their console department, aren't doing a great job with Worms...

Gameboy is not Game Gear. Fact.

# they're a lot like EA now
a lot of turds, but still some great games
i believe they ruined sonic long before the death of their hardware

the Arcade market is also suffering badly of late

# Sad but true.
I wonder if we're seeing the end of the famous four blue letters that meant so much to gamers in the early 90s?

# but then, that's like Atari
Atari isn't Atari anymore
a French company just bought the rights to the name
as it could be used to attract gamers of a retro nature

didn't really work though when all their releases
turned out to be tosh

Though I believe UT3 will carry the Atari name, though everyone knows that every beautfully rendered poly in that flawlessly optimised engine is an EPIC product anyway.

*is aware you never called them vectors*

# Haha whaaat?
How does that make them fake?

Edit: You can convert any selection in photoshop to a true vector. It's not at all significant how that selection is made.
(, Tue 8 May 2007, 15:45, archived)
# ah, but photoshop is a photo editing program
that's why they made illustrator, for "proper" vectors

:)
i know what you're saying though

you can in essence, create vectors with indesign, but i wouldn't recomend it...
