Write your reply.

assistant: I don't think idfsa is but idkfa is weapons and stuff.  Also here are some
others:
idclip: wwalk into walls
idclev 12 warp to levels (type idclev then level number to go to a level.
There are 32 levels.  The last two are wolf3D bonus levels.  If you haven't
seen them you should.  The secret exit is level 15 I think the level where
ou
go through a city and there is a large gap between the two sides.)
IDFA I think lets you keep the weapons you have unlike idkfa you run out this
will not.
IDDT in map mode will toggle show all of the map.  Type is again and it will
show monsters and items
I think that is about all of the them.  I know there is a few thatshow axis
points which are really worthless unless you made the map.  All of those
odes
also work on doom 1 excepot replace idclip There is another code for it on
Doom 1 but I forgot I think it is something like idspispods but Im not real
sure.  I have some codes for some other 3D games if your interested.

Ya know...
I really liked Zork Nemesis at FIRST...
But once I started being able to "travel to other planets" I totally "lost

Anyone got any advice?

Yea I know all about inflation.  I guess they do cost more to make but as you
said the Street Fighter II designs are easy to produce.  Do you remember a
long time ago they had that 3D game with the Cowboy.  It was 75 cents to play
and all you did was jump up and down and shot.  It was in a white machine I
think.  It was a stupid game but very popular since people all ways where
trying to grap they guy.  Still though they should focus on other types of
games.

  Actually, the Saturn isn't all that good in terms of power.  It's not so
much what's in there - Panzer Dragoon and Virtua Fighter proved what it could
do, even with the fairly limited memory.  It's that taking advantage of what
it could do was hard for most programmers.
  By the way, the Playstation is actually fairly underused these days.  Sony
recently came up with a way to measure just how much of the system's power is
being used.  The most demanding game so far, Formula 1, uses about... 50%.
That's right, most game designers have never really bothered to push it!
That's starting to change.  A few games are coming out in high-res, with real
texturing too.  Tobal No. 2 (which won't come to North America, <sigh>) is
supposed to use 90%, and it looks quite nice.

It may have been back in the 70s, but I think Data East made a new Tommy
pinball game to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the studio recording of
Tommy (it was recorded in 1969, so that would make Data East's 1994 release
sound right).

Write your reply.

assistant: Intel: Coming to an Arcade Near You
Waiting for your favorite arcade games to come to your PC is a long and
frustrating process...there's the wait for the game to be successful and
then the wait for the company to build a PC-specific version of the game.
Many times, the games that have seen some great play in arcades or on
consoles have little luck in maintaining their high standards as they make
the jump to the PC.
Well, brothers and sisters, Intel has heard your cries and has launched a
new initiative to change the way arcade titles are made.
Wednesday, Intel gathered game developers and producers at the first Open
Arcade Architecture Forum in Santa Clara. The mission was simple: Intel
announced its new AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) technology on Monday for
use with its Pentium II processor and it thinks that this new technology can
help game developers push their games to Pentium II-based arcade systems.
What will this mean for you? If you find one of these new Intel arcade
setups in your local arcade, the process of making that game part of your
permanent home collection is a lot closer to reality. Also, you'll get
something close to the same game you played in the arcade.
Intel reported that a total of 15 game demos were shown from major companies
like: Angel Studios, BlueByte, GreyStone, Rage, Mango Grits, Harmonix, GT
Interactive, Leaping Lizard, Vivid, Interactive Light, Kalisto, Ubi Soft and
Inner Workings. Games are expected to hit arcades by the end of the year.
The unfortunate part of the Intel arcade architecture initiative is that
prospective gamers must buy a new Pentium II to run any of this at home.
