  awesome game (only in robots, not tanks). SS3 is the newest of the
  Samurai Showdown series out, and is pretty good compared to them. It
  is an SF game, where you use weaponry instead of fists. You oughta

  It's still not 3-D, and it's not an arcade game either (hence the
  echo). 3-D games are (again) a 1st perspective environment, where the
  CHARACTER can look and move in all directions, as well as see in one
  direction while moving in another. Yes, Doom-style games are that, but
  Mario64 is still not. Mario64 is in the genre of Soul's Edge, where
  the movement and sight is in 3-D, but not the rest (don't say it's
  not, for I'm a pretty good expert on the game, and know how it works).

   If their BBS doesn't have it, they should be able to request it. If

   and get Video Games on 3 nets. Some just don't have the attitude to
   go up to the sysop and request it. Some just don't dare, for their
   Sys might have a grudge. All in all, they still can find another BBS

assistant: __________________
  You know what pissed me off most? They made a limited ed. PS1 for the
  Genesis... in Japan! Boy you know how that is. As far as the FF
  series, I never really liked the FF series because it was too 2D. The
  PS series had a 3D perspective, and you can still see the action
  happening on the screen. I also did hate it when they decided to
  change the dungeon/tower scenes to an overhead view, instead of the
  traditional 3D perspective. It made the game a lot harder (you can
  imagine how long it took for me to get through the Baya Malay tower
  w/o any maps with the exception of the one I was making). All I want
  now is a good Palladium game to come out (which will be both RoboTech
  and Macross II for their respective systems). They still need to make
  a good Rifts RPG game. Now that would be an awesome game!

Yep it does sort of give one an indication they will have problems through
modem playing in the readme file, it seems the game was more geared for
network play and not modem.  However, someone else has just netmailed me
and told me to upgrade to v1.06 with a patch - apparently that will help
with the problem so I will go and check it out and see if that works.
