Rival Turf is out for the SNES, I saw it at Toy R Us this evening.  Are there
any differences between the SNES and the SuperFamicom version?

According to the TRS manager, Contra III and Xardion will be out within the
next three weeks.  All three games were listed for $54.95...

Is this a joke? You got a Lynx, of all people? It doesn't make sense, not after
all the articles you've posted. How can you totally hate a company, and still
buy their flagship product? Please explain...

			Well, obviously many people didn't like it. At first,
I meant it as my version of Ken's (SFII) "Attack me if you dare, I will crush
you" message. But for some reason many people (especially those who don't give
a damn about SFII or never played it) saw it as an insult, that I will "crush"
those who flames me, and pictured me as an arrogant fool. No, no, no! That was
NOT what it meant. People tend to take things literally, as I found out real quick... What's wrong with a little humor? 

			So, since many people never got the real meaning of the
message, which was that I am a SFII fan, I have decided to discard that message.I'll just have to think of something else, something that's clever and won't
be taken the wrong way......  :)

     I have also had problems with Sendai Publishing, but so far they've
all been remedied after some _polite_ phone calls.  Not only will wasting
net space with continuous smears not help you with your subscription
problems, but your reference to the staff of EGM as "homos" is particularly
illustrative of the infantile approach you are taking to your difficulties.
Are you suggesting that gays and lesbians are particularly irresponsible and
therefore that it is likely that the supposedly irresponsible people at EGM
are homosexuals?   Or perhaps the causality flows in the other direction -
that is, "crooked" people are more likely to be gay or lesbian, and from
this you are drawing your conclusion?  Who knows, perhaps you're just
displaying your own insensitivity, sexual insecurities, or general lack
of thoughtfulness?  At any rate, I find the reference inappropriate.

Look again at the games if your think that there are no ads in them!

In coin-op, the first game that had a lot of blatant advertising was
Pole Position.

In home computer games, the development of California Games was funded
by companies whose products were featured prominently in the game.

EA's Jordan vs. Bird (at least the IBM & C64 versions) endorses Nike.

Many software companies put in ads for their own products in other
titles that they release.

Consumers get really pissed if the ads are too blatant.  There was a
big furor generated when movie theaters (in the USA) started showing
car commercials before movies.  Now, most of the advertising done in
movies is through implied product endorsement by showing someone on the
screen using a product during the movie.

I had dealing with were very nice.  I trusted everyone on the net, and I've
never had a single problem at all.  Sure, there are a few bad apples, but those

I agree.  Primus kinda pissed me off a while back but he has apologized.
Hi has every right to his opinions and I rather enjoyed reading about his
NEO-GEO games.  (since I will never afford them)  The guy who flamed primus
also criticized his review because he said the the game had HUGE BOSSES.
I really like HUGE BOSSES and if a game has them I would like to know.
anyway, I would just like to say that primus has been VERY considerate 
ever since the initial complaint about him and he was big enough to take
the criticism constructively.  I was pretty impressed that he didn't flame
back.  Keep posting primus, and I wish I could afford a NEO-GEO with all
of those "lame arcade clones"  :-)

Starflight is a really great cartridge.  It's ported from a PC game of
several years ago.  It has the same sort of play depth that you'd expect
out of a really great role playing game.  In some respects, it's better.

The premise of the game: you have to figure out a mystery to stop your
home planet from being destroyed by a cosmic cataclysm.  You're initially
outfitted with the basics that you'll need for interstellar travel- a
ship, and some money.  You can then create a crew of several different
races, train them according to their aptitude, and use whatever funds are
left over to outfit your ship and terrain vehicle with optional
equipment.  You can then mine other planets, collect lifeforms, even
pirate other spacefaring vessels, collect materials, then sell them at
your home spaceport for more money, which can then be turned over to buy
more fuel, better equipment, or provide better training.

It's a riot, and it's without question one of my favorite computer games
of all time.  I strongly recommend it.  If it sounds appealing to you, go
out out and buy it.

Not really.  F91 was horrible - weak rehashed story, lame mechanical
designs, and general all around cheesiness.  It competes with ZZ for the
spot as the absolute worst of the Gundam series.  I'm surprised there
are people who liked it.

the jspanese version but everytime a shipment of it arrives (at a local Japanesegame store), it gets cleaned out before I can get my hands on it. However, I
think that I'm going to wait for the U.S. version (if they didn't 'cut' anythingout) since it is due to be released at the end of this month soon. I think the
release date is reliable, since the store that sells Japanese games held back
on ordering anymore Japanese version of Contra III. I sure hope so, because I
rented it for a couple of days and it's awesome. Stay tuned..... :)

Wait a minute--wasn't the Falcon/Sparrow supposed to be
a game system?  That's the impression I got from the net.
I wasn't expecting another entry in the ST line of computers.

That aside, why the heck did they go with TOS compatibility?
They had the chance to break free and do things RIGHT.  Not
that TOS was total garbage, but it is of the age that gave
birth to MS-DOS.  I'm surprised that Atari has chosen to
stick with this route.

From what I've seen of the ST world, it is very
fragmented.  Some software is monochrome monitor only,
some color only.  Some machines have blitters.  Some
machines have enhanced graphics and sound.  TOS comes
in both vanilla and Rainbow flavors.  And so on.  A
fresh start would have been nice--I'm hoping Atari isn't
overly concerned with backward compatibility.

If you can't wait, just buy it now!  :-)  I've bought my Mega-CD
for $350 including 3 games!

I heard on the radio the other day that Sega lost a lawsuite to a company that
patented a technique they used to make backgrounds better in games.

I'm not sure what it was all about but Sega lost millions.

They are going back to court though.
