The people who run these companies are inteligent, and they have lawyers to let them know when they're not acting so. Most companies will bite the bullet if they go under, and aren't going to try to sue their competitors, not unless their competitors used illegal and unfair buisness practices. (Yes, unfair is _really_ hazy, but in this case we've got a law defining what's unfair or not) It's usually the average american public which makes stupid lawsuits for spilling hot coffee in their own lap or things like that. =) - -------------------------------------------------------------- Where would you rather be?

And actually, from what i've heard, it's not a matter of the popular copabies using that popularity to leverage a deal, the grocery stores _charge_ companies for space on the middle shelves. If it is the companies using market share to cut deals, tehn it is unfair, but not enough so that the justice department needs to get involved. If frito-lay tried to exclude all other potato chips from major grocery store chains and succeded, the department of justice would get involved in no time at all. > In my opinion, Intel is the one that needs to be watched.

Well teh whole idea of capitalism is that all companies/products will compete fairly and the best/most efficient companies will prosper. What's his name ("the invisible hand" guy who started the whole thing) either did not forsee or did not take into account that companies will lie cheat and steal to gain or hold onto market share, despite the fact that it works against the ideals of capitalism. Given that we've decided that we want to live in a free market system (except not really, we'll still set tarriffs on foreign goods and such) we need a way to make companies stick to these ideals. For better or worse the only people with the authority to do this and have even a pretense of impartiality is the government. - -------------------------------------------------------------- Wilderness of mirrors World of polished steel Gears and iron chains Turn the grinding wheel I run between the shadows Some are phantoms, some are real - --Rush [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Nov 1999 10:43:49 -0800 (PST) From: Geoff Finger Subject: Re: [N64] Mircrosquish On Tue, 9 Nov 1999, [iso-8859-1] Johno wrote: > you could buy a machine with Windows 95 and then set > it up as a dual boot machine with linux.

This little game had it all; outlandish character design (can anyone forget the original people’s champ, Star Man?), well-grounded game play, and the first true multi-player mode available on the NES. Ask any old-school gamer and they’ll tell you that no wrestling game has ever come close to that old cartridge’s greatness... until now. A mere fifteen years later, a new king has been born: WWF Wrestlemania 2000. As you can see from the score I’ve given this bone-crusher, I think very kindly about this game. In fact, it’s the first perfect score I’ve given out since arriving in the offices of GameFan. So instead of giving you the ‘bread and butter’ review that you were probably expecting, I’d rather tell you why you must own this game. THQ Has Done it Again! Wrestlemania 2000 is an inter-promotional sequel (of sorts) to last year’s critically-acclaimed WCW vs NWO Revenge. Not satisfied with just recycling last year’s engine with a new lineup of grapplers, THQ has somehow improved a game that many considered the perfect N64 wrestling title. With the help of AKI, a world-famous Japanese developer, THQ is once again the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Hand-animated wrestlers! One glaring problem that always seems to rear its ugly head in today’s wrestling games is motion capture. A gimmick first used in Acclaim’s arcade version of Wrestlemania, motion capturing may be the one reason Wrestlemania 2000’s competition looks so clunky. The wrestler’s moves in Wrestlemania 2000 are beautifully hand-animated, and this time-consuming process really puts Wrestlemania 2000 head and shoulders above the rest. Take, for example, the People’s Elbow, the most electrifying move in sports entertainment today. Ever noticed that the "other" roody-poo WWF wrestling series by Acclaim has never been able to pull off this move correctly? It can all be blamed on motion capture technology. However, because the animators at AKI took their time emulating the ‘elbow’ frame-by-frame, it’s executed perfectly – straight down to the slight pause before you lay the Smackdown on the poor jabronie laying helpless in the middle of the People's ring. Electrifying Game Play. If you’ve played THQ’s previous WCW titles on the N64 (we all try to block out the memories of Nitro), you’ll feel right at home with Wrestlemania 2000’s controls. If fact, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never played THQ’s past wrestlers (and yes, I own the ‘I Learned Everything I Need to Know from The Rock' poster). The grappling system is once again extremely simple to learn, yet extraordinarily effective in execution. Rookies will love the innovative weak/strong grapple moves, while seasoned veterans will gravitate towards the game’s reversal techniques. This perfectly balanced game play not only leads to a fun single-player experience, but also paves the way as the ultimate party game. Realism. With today’s vast amount of video game storage (CD's, 256 Meg carts, etc.), you’d think the realism of the ring would have been captured a long time ago. Well, it hasn’t been - and while most video game publishers claim that they've finally contained the magic of the ring, the truth is... only one has. THQ has made a game that is just as entertaining (if not more entertaining) than the Monday night wrestling shows we have all grown to love. Wrestlemania 2000 is just about as close as you can get to the real thing. The cart really pushes the limits of the N64 this time around, and while it still misses the annoying antics of ring announcers, the game makes up for the lack of speech with larger than life TitanTron video screens, realistic tag partners and factions. When The Godfather, the resident pimp of the WWF organization, comes down to the squared circle, not only is his regiment of hoes (or should I say ho... there's only one) following him to the ring, but his video and entrance music also accompanies the Ho Train. This is the prefect example on why Wrestlemania 2000 provides the realism of the WWF’s TV personalities like no other game before it. Options! Never before has a wrestling game had the sheer number of options that Wrestlemania 2000 boasts. The standard one-on-one, tag teams, handicap matches and battle royal modes all return, along with some new entries such as Road to Wrestlemania and Pay Per View creation. While the Pay Per View mode is pretty much predictable in modern day grapplers, it’s the Road to Wrestlemania that ends up being the solid gold addition to Wrestlemania 2000. In R2W, you control the future of your favorite superstar. Players start off at the bottom of the organization and have to ‘do the time’ against a few no-name jobbers and wrestling has-beens – but don’t worry, it’s all uphill from there. Before you know it, you’ve earned cage matches with Mankind and title bouts against Triple-H, and finally you'll reach the real reward... when the millions upon millions of fans are chanting your name, in the main event of Wrestlemania 2000! Create a Wrestler. While you could change the clothes of last year’s Revenge wrestlers, I was a little disappointed that a true Create a Wrestler mode was omitted. This year, THQ not only added the now-standard mode, but also refined it so that you can edit each and every one of the wrestler’s moves. Have you ever wanted to see Steve Austin pull off the people’s elbow or have Triple-H chokeslam Kane? Thanks to the new edit-wrestler mode, you can... and a whole lot more! Factions can be changed (Kane in DeGeneration X, baby!), finishing moves can be messed with, and even taunts can be transformed… talk about a complete wrasslin’ experience! Know Your Role, Jabronie... after reading my review I hope you caught the one and only real reason to buy Wrestlemaina 2000… and no, it's not the clever acronym. Wrestlemania 2000 is fun. It’s the type of game I’d trade my whole video game collection for. So get off your Roody Poo Candy Ass and buy this game! - - The Wanderer Copyright ©1999 GameFan. All rights reserved.

I'm thinking about getting it.. for the Dreamcast. But the N64 version looks pretty darn sweet. I was going to rent it but I had to get a nail removed from my hoof. Speaking of which, does anybody know if there's a shortage of new Dreamcast titles like Speed Devils & Toy Commander? I'm been to some stores around my area (Erie, PA) and have not seen hide nor hair of these titles, same with the new King of Fighters titles. You know, I'm just so darn tooting peeved that I'm gonna have to wait another year from now for Zelda: Gaiden, I knew it was gonna be delayed, but I was thinking to Nintendo's big summer title, but not to their Thanksgiving title. But I'm even more bummed with both Sony & Capcom pulling a Nintendo with Gran Turismo 2 & Code Veronica. Although that's nothing comapred to what SEGA's doing, sitting on a complete Dreamcast Crazy Taxi holding it over for Februrary. I know it's a PlayStation 2 counter measure but I think if it became their Thanksgiving title the Dreamcast userbase would grow even bigger. Ugh. Everybody's pulling a Nintendo.
