I'm anti-Microsoft. :) I'm not anti-Nintendo. Just more pro-Sony & SEGA. Dave The SEGA Dreamcast will indeed cure your acne. It will make you popular with the opposite sex, bring you material rewards beyond your wildest dreams and, most likely, cause passersby to pull out their wallets and hand you $5. The Dreamcast will mow the lawn for you, provide heat in the winter, cool fresh breezes in the summer and can be used, in case of emergency, as a flotation device. Also, the Dreamcast gives off a lemony-fresh scent and will one day unite all humanity under the gleaming banner of peace. You need not ever fear stubbing your toe again with the SEGA Dreamcast. -- Daily Radar [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 13:27:07 +1000 From: "Moody, Luke" Subject: RE: [N64] Squaresoft True.

Now the only problem is when exactly is it comming out?? The guy at Ebay told me the beggining of May last time, but when I chek the site just now it said May 23... >> Well, the guy at E-Bay must not be up on the news. It was announced after the delay from April 10 that it would be May 23. - -Eric- [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 21:17:07 -0700 From: Dexter Sy Subject: Re: [N64] More Dolphin Hardware Info > > > I doubt that they can.

I am not knocking Nintendo's idea, its a great stratergy, they get a lot of the market share from the kids market.. Thats great financially, but me personaly I am not drawn too much to that type of game.. I may be alone in this but I think part of my problem with Nintendo is that they have too many kiddy games, not saying every game, but to me more of their games are targeted to little kids, and I think the playstation and dreamcast are targeted to an older crowd.. It may just be me, but thats how it seems.. nev.
