That's rediculous.  They could easily just not use sound directly from the CD.

You can get a shareware copy of the first mission on either 131.210.1.4
or wuarchive.wustl.edu (look in the mirrors2/msdos-games directory I think.
If that doesn't work, just look around a bit, you'll find it)... for anonymous

Where did you get this info??? Also combining two processors doesn't
increase the number of bits of a console or computer, unless they
are super scalar CPUs, which they are not. I am a technical person, and
if you know a way to do the above, let me know, I would like to invest
a little money in something that could revolutionize the computer

If Sega didn't put stereo on the SCART cable, then that's bad.
But you can't put stereo on the A/V cable, that something completely

I've found that Roenick from Chicago along with Yzerman and Federov from 
Detroit are probably the hardest single players to stop.  However, my favorite
team to play is Vancouver as Ronning makes an excellent pivot up to Bure who
I put on the left wing.  He's fast enough to just blow by the defense and go
in for a goal.  Same can be said of Buffalo with LaFontaine and Mogilny except
you have a cruddy goalie and mediocre defense to make up for.

That's interesting... I heard the same thing about VCRs awhile back.  The

It is an "adult" game (but kids like it too).  If you have seen it on
the Amiga or other platform, it is almost identical (excluding mouse).
It is a puzzle game more than action, although timing can be critical
on some of the levels.  There are 125 levels in the categories of:
Fun, Tricky, Taxing, Mayhem and Sunsoft (in increasing difficulty).
The main objective is to lead a horde of lemmings from an entrance to
their exit while avoiding all sorts of dangers.  The hard part is that
your only control is to teach individual lemmings tasks such as
digging and climbing.  The outcome is a puzzle game because you have
to survey the terrain and figure out a way to save a minimum percentage
(differs per level) with the only the abilities that the level gives
you (i.e. 2 climbers and 1 digger).

The game is a lot of fun, and very addictive.  It only takes a few
minutes to compleat a level once you figure it out.  This always gave
me the feeling of "just one more level before I quit" on several a
late night.

BTW, my favorite part of the game is the little voice of a lemming 
saying "Oh no" while holding its head just before exploding.  Too
cute!

I bought this game along with Wonder Dog the other day. 
Wonder Dog is great, my 2 sons and I love it. Great gameplay and 
graphics. 

WOlf Child sucks. We took it back the next day. Poor graphics, terrible
game play, terrible mechanics, very bad loading time. This gaame took 
forever to load. The music and graphics were so cut up it was a joke.
I cannot believe that Core Design could create 2 good games in Wonder
Dog and Chuck Rock then produce a total piece of garbage. If you
feel the need tobuy this game, make sure you buy it from a place that
allows returns!

Thanks for the two responses I got, but I guess I should have better phrased
my question.  In the instruction booklet on page 9, under "Blocks in the
Secret Zone," it pictures a bumper with Sonic on it and says, touch this for
an extra chance to complete the game.  I know you get a continue at 50 and
an extra life at 100, but I have never seen this 1-up bumper in the bonus
stage.  I was just wondering if Sega took this out of the game or if you
have to do some trick to make it appear.

Well, it has to be Dennis Smith in my opinion, of course, I'm from Colorado

2. Is it just me, or does anyone else think they went to far (as far

   it. There's no passwords to continue from places you've already

I remember reading that Nintendo is working on a new GFX co-processor
chip to be placed inside some future cartridges. The same article mentioned
that SMK contains a proto version of this chip which is supposed to
offload some of the processing from the main SNES unit. This may be
the cause of any alleged problems. Don't know that I would call it
a lock-out chip, but it may have that function as a side effect.

     A bit under $250. :)  But seriously, the TurboDuo is basically the TG-16,
the CD-ROM unit, and the newest version of the CD-ROM system card all rolled
together into one unit.  It also includes two CDs with Ys I and II, Gate of
Thunder (a *great* shooter), Bonk's Adventure, Bonk's Revenge and Bomberman,
and a card-based game as well (whatever cheap game they have the most of at
the time :) ).
     To get a TG-16-based system roughly equivalent to the Duo, you'd have
to buy the TG-16 ($50), the CD-ROM player ($150), and order the new CD-ROM
system card and pack-in games from TTI (about $95, I believe).  Since the Duo
is just under $300, the cost is basically identical, but of course getting
the Duo gives you only one piece of hardware to worry about.
     A few other differences:
     The Duos use different controllers (DuoPads and DuoTaps, instead of
TurboPads and TurboTaps).  Apparently, they changed the controller interface
to allow for different sorts of controllers later on.  Adapter cables exist
to let you use Turbo controllers with the Duo.
     The TurboDuo doesn't provide regular RF video output; it only provides
A/V stereo output (where there are three RCA-type plugs, one for the video and
two for the stereo channels).  If you don't have a TV or VCR that supports
A/V input, you're in trouble with the Duo.  If you don't have stereo equipment,
you'll need a stereo-to-mono adapter cable to combine the two sound channels.
     I'm told that the CD unit in the Duo is of better quality than the one
used in the TG-16 CD units.
     The Duo comes with rebate coupons, basically $5 back for each of the next
ten TurboDuo-related things (games, controllers, whatever) you buy.
