Since it has no tube, can I still watch TV on a flat screen television? I haven't touched my N64 since yesterday, but that was just a quick Combat Simulator on Perfect Dark. I mostly touch my Dreamcast (that sounds sick) these days. Just got done playing Jet Grind Radio and about to play Test Drive: LeMans (who'd of thought a Test Drive game could be so good?) I had a dream last night where Thraxen sold me his PS2 because he needed the money to pay off a loan shark. The funny thing is, since I have no idea what he looks like, my dream made him appear as Sideshow Mel (the guy with a bone in his hair) from the Simpsons. It all took place on the 4th of July in some southern town with a big party and people were lighting fireworks under cars for added effect, and then there was this giant horse that rode on top of a pickup truck and children crawling on the ceiling with magnets in their hands... ~~ Dave ~~ "I like the Dreamcast too" Treytable@sega.net AIM: Super Trey Bros [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 15:52:46 -0800 From: Dexter Sy Subject: Re: [N64] Sony's Japanese market in trouble - --------------EFC4BB268270C6972CADB67A Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dave Rhodes wrote: > I think it's great news.
