Anyway, are you talking about that ad in the very back of EGM? I see something called a Game Booster ($49.99 US) that allows you to play Gameboy games on the N64. It has a color system that allows you to convert B&W games into color. Is this the one made by Datel though? I don't see anything about Datel or Interact on this page. The ad I am looking at is from a company called Rocket Game Products. Did you also notice they are selling a memory expansion cart? Why would you need this? They say you are supposed to use it with their Shark Link to find cheat codes, but no game would actually use it and the people over at the Game Shark Code Creators Club (by far, the masters of Game Shark codes) dn't seem to have any trouble making codes for the PSX even though it does not have any memory expansion. Oh well, they are selling some interesting stuff.

Oh geeze. Coin-Ops beat consoles any day. That's kind of an unfair comparison. Who wouldn't rather play Super GT (or LA Riders for that matter) over a console racing game?

Nintendo have the old SNK habit of quoting size in terms of megabits where almost all of the rest of the industry uses megabytes. There are eight bits to one byte - so using megabits gives an inflated size, useful for marketing. Once again - a CDROM holds about 600MB vs a 64DD disk which holds 64MB. So Earthbound is *not* almost as big as a PSX game. However, it *may* be as pig as a PSX game, I dunno how you quantify that.

I guess that means that in my >_opinion_ they do suck. Don't you get it??? OH FOR GODS SAKE, are you stupid or what? I myself agree that FF3 is better than FF7, but FF7 is still one of the best games of it's type ever made, and there is *nothing* to compare with it on N64, nor is there likely to ever be. VF3 is better than Tekken3 by a huge margin, I agree, VF2 on the Saturn is too, but Fighters Destiny - you must be joking, it's a pile of shite, plain and simple. The graphics are dull, blurry and indistinct, and the gameplay is insipid and shallow. DOA may not be particularly original, but what it does, it does beautifully, with crystal clear hi-res 60fps graphics - how many N64 games can boast the same? The N64 does have a couple of great racing games, but the PS has many more. If you would genuinely rather play Cruisin' USA instead of Gran Turismo or Wipeout2097 then there is little hope for you. MY ONLY POINT HERE is that the Playstation has a lot of superb games. Now, if you love your N64, fine, go for it. I like mine, although I'm disappointed by the quantity and quality of the releases in general. *Please* don't show your immaturity and insecurity and downright stupidity by saying that the "PSuX" as you so cleverly call it is useless. That is clearly ridiculous. >Its a good thing that these are only your opinions. It truly would >reflect badly on your company's part if this thinking was an overall >feeling....

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think a loose analog stick is no better than a digital pad.

I mean, if you're just the short stop, you could go for a few innings with no action. If it was 2 on two, and you could divide the positions between you, that might be ok but could still mean lots of time sitting waiting for something to happen. I guess we'll see. Either way, I'm buying a baseball game...

That may be the issue you'r referring to, but it came out a while ago.
