...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!

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.

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

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 :-/

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

they just never marketed as well as Sony did their toy
so whose fault was it really?

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.

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...

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
another Area where Sega made most of their cash

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

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.

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.

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...
