Shadows of the Empire codes

http://www.n64.com
New codes have been released to allow players to play as an AT-ST on the
first level or a Snowtrooper or Wampa on the second. My guess is there're
more codes like this, but the activation is kinda weird, so it's no surprise
we just found 'em. Why didn't I post them here? Because I always get notes
from people who can*t get 'em to work, and frankly, I don't need that. :)

"our" "future". A long time ago, in earth terms, a cannon was
considered the pinnacle of weaponry. Today, it's too heavy and awkward
to bother with. We favor easily launched missles to do the job for us.
So (keeping in mind that neither of these is more real), different
eras, different galaxies....they're both so entirely different....can't
we all just get along?? *laugh*

Star Trek is for T.V. fans. (Mostly)
The Star Wars movies are better than most of the Star Trek movies.
The Star Trek shows have no T.V. competition from Star Wars, so they,
by default, are better.
It's all a matter of preference: T.V. or film.
I like films better. I like some Star Trek, but I've seen enough that
was cheesy or boring to make me like Star Wars better.
C'est la vie....I don't get what anybody's arguing about.

ships, and is more scientifically possible.  Personally I think the latter is
BS because a lot of that is impossible, and their plots are somewhat
illogical at times, but besides that, who cares?  Both have impossible
things, that's why it's science FICTION, but Star Wars seems better.  As for
the Enterprise, you all seem to be coming up with different info.  However, I
think the whole Rebel alliance could demolish the Enterprise.

And in true Star Trek fashion, you have to repeat yourself as well, but
your words differ from time to time? ;)
Okay, DS9 I understand (well, not considering the first season) - but
Voyager???
Honestly, Voyager is the worst scifi series I ever saw (that's no insult,
that's a matter of fact). What's so great about it? (Not considering the
holodoc. :)) )
In fact, Voyager seems to be a mixture of today's socially discriminated
people, as there is:
- a female captain
- a colored Vulcan (I'm NOT talking about discriminated Vulcans. ;) )
- an Indian commander
Say, Neelix isn't Jewish, isn't he?
And every few episode there's some subspace anomaly, and for the umpteenth
time you think: "Hey, am I having a deja-vu or did a TOS episode have just
the same plot?"
And finally: If you want to have some *real* physics, go read a science
magazine. You'll be surprised by what is really possible and what is
*made* possible in Star Trek.
Yes, Star Wars is scientifically mostly impossible, too, but then again,
physics isn't the point of Star Wars...
This whole threat about you trying to convince us that Star Trek is better
than Star Wars somehow reminds me on a holy crusade. I may be mistaken,
but I don't think the Crusade had any great success.
And one last (really, really, REALLY last) thing:
You're saying we're arrogant. You're saying we'd insult you.
You're saying Star Trek is the best scifi series ever. You're saying
Star Wars is crap, repeating itself in a continuous loop.
Forgive me if I'm wondering: WHO's arrogant? And WHO's insulting?
Think about it...
Markus
P.S.: Can't Star Trek and Star Wars just coexist *peacefully*?
