I think someone else mentioned this, but for me I'm buying all my games used from now on (excepting gift lists for X-mas and B-days). Even though I usually don't get a manual, which can be a piss off, I like paying $35 - $50 as opposed to $100(with tax). As far as cart color goes, I don't really care if it's pink with purple polka dots, I'm buying it for the contents. Hell I can buy gold paint if I want. You never know I might find the gold cart in the used shop a year from now. I'm not sure when ASB 99 was released but I know it wasn't long ago and as I mentioned before I got it already for $35.

Another important question ( on my part anyway) is will either Dex unit be compatible with my Macintosh computers, as I imagine that even though we only inhabit around 6% of the market at present nearly all Mac owners would be likely to also have an interest in consoles ( as they are both highly user friendly).

You forget though that most of these games benefit from new engines every year, so if you limit the upgrades to basic patches that only update the rosters and other minor things. this way if you want the new engine you buy the new game and if you are happy enough with what you have you just get the patch. You should remember that each year brings millions of new users to consoles ( many of whom might never have owned any previous consoles) and this is who the new games are really aimed at. Like many of the others on this list I've been playing console games since the days of Pong and Breakout and have a library of old titles and consoles and would probably play some of them again if they were somehow updatable but there are millions of people who may have never heard of nor played these games so update patches would be useless to them. There is no point charging for them, the same holds true for Madden 99 lets say in another years time when countless numbers of people will buy a console and the latest game and may never see ( or waste their money ) on a game a couple years old. If the gaming houses did start a series of free updates they would also guarantee a form of brand loyalty as the players would be happier to wait an extra year to get the latest hot hit if their old games stayed fresh.

You could be right. If the Dex Drive is not taken advantage of by developers, then we will only get saved games or maps that we the users create. But... if Interact can get some developer support, then new games can be programmed to read more extensive data off the memory card slot, data such as new polygon models or textures of environments, vehicles, characters, etc... I don't know of any "single page" 1+ MB cards currently available, but this is something that Interact could certainly make and sell, especially since they are making the Dex Drive. Brian Baird writes: >It comes back to the whole 'add on' thing.. Will the mainstream market >support an 'add on' that requires access to a PC? Will the market support >something that again segregates the market? Good point. In North America at least, PCs are becoming more and more prevalent, but the ratio is still only 1 out of every 2 or 3 homes that have a PC. I wonderwhat the ratio is for how many homes with N64s have a PC.

You should remember that each year This is how I see it as well. You can get the free (or minimal charge) patch just for the new rosters, which builds brand loyalty. However, there is still incentive to buy the actual new game, because of the new engine and new features. For the gamers sake, I hope that they do this right, 'cause it really could be big. matt ma [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1998 03:32:24 -0400 From: "Tim Howe" Subject: Re: [N64] Royal Rumble Spencer- THANKS!!!

What are your impressions of the game? EGM said it was worst on the N64 than on psx. worst than Mario64 or Banjo-K. Average game, they gave it a 5.5 out of 10. - -Vi imho, anything that gets lower than 7.0 review in EGM, I wouldn't even rent it.

There are 9 tracks, and also a track editor. Well you all know that I'm a Mario Kart fan, and Mario Kart is my #1 favorite game for N64. So I hope they do a good job with penny racer. The only problem is it's by THQ... don't see them make good games, so I don't think this game will be better than Mkart. - -Vi [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Sep 1998 10:33:55 -0400 From: "Wezzer" Subject: Re: [N64] Gex sucks Yea, I rented it and it is pretty bad.
