That's a good possibility for a game such as StarCraft. How fast a modem could they put into though, without jacking the price sky high? 14.4? 28.8? It's a tough call. Maybe Nintendo should create a modem cartridge that you plug into the N64, and then plug a game cartridge into the modem (kind of like X-Band). That way, they could keep the cost of the games that would use it, relatively low, and reach into another market such as the Internet. - -Ian "Asha'man_X" Dickson Known as Blasted_1 on B.net [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 04:20:20 EDT From: Subject: Re: [N64] wrestling In a message dated 98-07-17 15:48:24 EDT, you write: << After all these talk about wrestling, I still have no clue what's so good about WarZone.

I was trying to cut and paste the previous message when all of the keys locked down and the message was sent unfinished. I guess it's time to buy a computer ( I am sending these messages via webtv). To paraphrase Trey's previous message dated 7/17/98, he was making a good point about NIntendo's philosophy of getting the most out of each console before they move on to the next one. I simply wanted to also say I appreciate this about the company and this is the main reason I continue to support it above the others. It is my opinion that Sega has had the opposite approach of abandoning consoles rather suddenly. I realize there were business reasons for doing so in the past, but as a consumer, I like to get the most out of a purchase before I shell out another x amount of money for the next great thing. I have read that the Playstation 2 was initially going to be designed to play the games that have been developed for the current console, but that the industry did not want the new games to have to compete with the classics currently on the shelf. As a result, Sony has had to rethink their position (I'm sure someone out there has more info. on this in greater detail) . Maybe, this is an indication that Sony has learned something from Nintendo about securing the loyalty of the customer. As for the Dreamcast, I'm afraid it's wait and see for me . I won't be one of the first people in line for this one like I was for the N64.

I was not talking about FF when I said weird monsters, little zap guns, and mature level. I meant more like Mario-type monsters and little-zap guns like in Racal (For Playstation) Don't get me wrong here, Star Wars does have zap guns, but they are a little bit more "realistic". Also, the monsters/aliens did not look too fake (i.e. Power Rangers, hehehe [no, i dont watch it]) Resident Evil, while it does have weird monsters, they are just a little more realistic dont you think?

Too Bad...Oh well, you can like what you want...but let me point out that your opinion about 'too un-realistic' is kind of silly. For me anyway, the reason I play video games is because they are unrealistic; it is an escape from the real world. My favorite types of games are RPGs, Adventure/Platformers (like RE2 and Banjo), and destructive games like Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8, and Critical Depth. None are very realistic. I read fantasy books for the same reason...screw Tom Clancy...I want stuff not based on this world (as we know it). > think any games with a kiddie-fantasy type plot (weird monsters, little zap > guns, etc) would make a good movie. Games on the more mature level (Resident > Evil, Goldeneye, etc) make/will probably make good movies. Thank you.... Uhh, I don't think they are more 'mature'...that is stupid. Every FF game that has come to the US has been edited for 'mature' content. Except FF7, and it almost was. BTW, there are already a lot of anime movies based on FF as well as a CG movie that is supposed to be in the works. Also, you say that FF games have 'weird monsters', then you list RE2 as a good game...in case you did not notice, it contains some pretty wierd monsters. Also...you don't think a game with 'little zap guns' and 'wierd monsters' would make a good movie??? Sounds like your typical Alien or Star Wars movie to me. Those are pretty good movies...are they not?
