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

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello there fellow Saturn owner!  I'm always interested in talking
to others like myself who own one The Sega Saturn.
      So, how long have you had your Saturn?  What games do you have?
      Myself, I've owned my Saturn since back in May.  (Please don't ask
how much I paid for it back then ;))  Currently, the only games I have
are Virtua Figher 1&2.  I did have Daytona and Panzer Dragoon 1, but I've
since sold them.  And I'm now in the market for a new game...
      Personally, I prefer the Saturn over the Playstation.  Sega has far
more experience in the video game market than Sony.  And there is hardly
any difference at all between the capabilities of either console..
     I'm also interested in the U64.  But I don't like the idea of cartridge
games.  I mean, CD-ROM drives have become so inexpensive as of late.  Oh
well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens...
     So let me know whatcha think!
                                        L8r...

assistant: Never.  As new technology becomes available, game developers are
going to jump at it.  And why shouldn't they?  Better graphics, sound &
gameplay.  Now tell me who doesn't want that?  :)
        I just hope that game developers push the current systems as far
as possible before moving on to new, more powerful systems.
        I've gone through an Atari 7800, Sega Master system, Nintendo,
Genesis, Super Nintendo, and now the Saturn... :)  And I'm not complaining
all that much... (Well, my wallet is... ;))

assistant: I believe, if the companies of there system want to take their game system
further, they can. Playstation and Saturn run on 2 mem. The N64 will run on
4 mem. The one thing about the N64 is there is a slot on the game system (If
I remember corretly it's on the top of the system) anyway what I was  saying
was that N64 Slot is for more mem chip to upgrade the system.  I'm not sure
if the (PSX and Saturn have these slot) both of the PSX & Saturn have a place
on the system that can enhance the games played on there system. Like the
Game Shark for PSX and Saturn.
        Each system can, but that means you have to buy there new system that
is an upgrade from one. N64 is a little different...well... alot different.
They can up grade there system without ....us the buyer.... to buy there new
upgrade. Also N64 is coming with there (DD Drive with the player can change
there character...in other words costumize there games. We now for the first
can write to a game than just read it.    Is it kewl or what?

Whoa!!  You've been programming a while!!  I imagine you're over 21 since you
said C64!  Let's see...
Turbo Pascal -- Taking it THIS year
C++ -- have been told I could excel in it, but I dunno....
Machine code is OUT OF THE QUESTION!!
I and a team of other QB students made a .COM to .BAS converter in QB last
year, but there's something wrong in turning the .BAS file BACK into a .COM
file....I could give it to you (considering you have an Internet e-mail
address) encoded and maybe you can help us out here!!  And the .MOD to .WAV
converter sounds GREAT!!!

That was a REALLY bad move!!!  I'm wondering what possessed you to get it in
the first place considering it was from ATARI!!!  The same people who died
with the Lynx a few years ago!  If anything, I'd get Final Fantasy 3 for SNES
or Chrono Trigger for SNES (both GREAT RPG's from SquareSoft).  Super R-type
is ok, I have all the games you do except U.N. Squadron and FF2...I DO have
R-type 3 and it's pretty good!  You should try it!
