However PC games don't really evolve all that much. Before Goldeneye the FPS genre was pretty much stagnant. All you had were glorified Wolfenstien clones. The PC userbase isn't big enough for companies to spend the time, money and resources to really push a genre. BTW there are lots of console games I've played for over 200 hours. Street Fighter 2 for example. alexh@ivanhoe.starway.net.au [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 16:33:20 EDT From: TreyTable@aol.com Subject: Re: [N64] new to the mailing list.

Nuff said 8-) Depends on what type of games you're interested in. Go to zone.msn.com, and it has free servers for a lot of games. I particularly liked Civ 2, but i'm sure theres something there you'd like. When i was looking for someplace to place Master of Orion 2 online, someone told me about a server that required a one time fee and was then free after that i believe, but i don't remember the name. Anyone have any ideas? Of course there's always Myth, which is great multiplayer fun, and the server is maintained free by bungie for anyone who buys the game and registers. - -------------------------------------------------------------- We sometimes catch a window -- a glimpse of what's beyond Was it just imagination -- stringing us along?

I really liked SotE. When I first got my N64 the first three games I bought were Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and Shadows of the Empire. The control in SotE was dead on. (I don't have the game anymore, I think I traded it for a PlayStation game I don't have anymore) Some ppl thought it was horrible after the Snow Speeder level but I have to disagree. SotE is still my favorite 3-D platfomer (in a The Adventures of Bayou Billy way) for many reasons, but one stands out. The excelent camera. The top down view really helped a ton with jumping, I wish more games would include that option. Playing as a Stormtrooper or Wampa was neat too. Or when a Stormtrooper screamed as they fell to their deaths, the jet pack levels, and my personal favorite, the train. Man, I really want this game again.

All i can really say definatly is that hte game didn't really appeal to me. Myabe part of it is that i don't like 3D a whole lot. One odf these days i'm going to go back and finish zelda. Of course, one of these days i'm going to also finish Tales of Destiny, F-zero X, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Red, Azure Dreams, Legend of Legaia, Shadow Madness, and Lunar =) - -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm old enough not to care too much About what you think of me But I'm young enough to remember the future And the way things ought to be - --Rush [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 09:41:06 EDT From: Devil929@aol.com Subject: Re: [N64] JFG: SS Anubis -- Hallway -- Tribals *SPOILERS* This blasted sub-section of SS Anubis is giving me a headache.
