As for me, I'll just sit here and enjoy my Saturn! =)

P.S. The reason why I like KI2 is because I didn't care to much for part 1. I
only played it no more then two times.  I began to play with KI2 and that's
why I like it.  (Don't worry no feeling taken.)

play of KI2. (No Big Screen!!!!!) I also think you're right about

it would seem that playing in arcades with spare change are days long

A 486-25 will assure me that my games will run really fast on anybodys
computer now adays. There are many DOS games out there I still like that were
meant for a 386. The reason im stuck with a 486-25 is because my stupid CPU
cant be upgraded! All I have in my computer is a slot for a 387.
As for a hard drive, well, I really DO need one of those.  A 120MB HD really
does not cut it these days.  And I really need that stupid 387 so I dont have
to wait 30 minutes for a ray-tracer to finish.
As for SNES and Genesis and the next generation machines, Ill wait until I
a machine that does not go under (like the jaguar) so I wont get ripped off
again (I bought a jaguar :( ).  As for game prices, I will NEVER pay over 50
bucks for a game unless Ive played it before and it is really something
special.  I rented MK3 for SNES and found out that even in the home version
the computer 'cheats'.  I have it on 'very easy', I have a complete list of
all the moves for each guy and STILL get my ass whipped.  Even worse,
yesterday at the arcade I had my ass whipped by a 5 year old kid!!!!!!!!!!

warrior's name is BARNEY!! Nah maybe Thor or something.  You see now
this would make a GREAT STORYLINE if something like this happened in
the series.   Than, the Outworld and Earth's kombatants would team up
or get along with each other for the same cause.  To try and defeat
Thor and keep their man-kind or alien-kind existence from being
extinct.  Than, we could probably have a reason to control Shao Kahn,
Motaro, Kintaro, Goro, and all those guys or EVEN control this THOR
guy!!  And if you bear the game with him, than you do end up,
destroying the world!!!!! WOW!!! That would rule!!  I wish I had the

idea.  I don't know why but there are voices in my head and bubbles
