    Hmm, well if the 2-d game is good, I still like it.  I really like
Street Fighter Alpha 1&2, and the 3 Samurai Shodown games, but Mortal Kombat
is just plain sad. For 3-d games I am really into Soul Edge.

assistant: I'm into playing Out Of This World.
I've gotten very far into the game and I'm stuck at
access code: TXHF
I have gotten as far as going down the turbo shaft to shoot the panel but
going too close to the gate gets me killed and blasting the gate doesn't help
and jumping off the cliff doesn't help either so I'm frustrated.
I got a cheat sheet and have all the access levels and completed everyone
except for TXHF and I would like to know how to do it.

's HUGE!  Also, the artsie stuff on the outside of the coin-up is REALLY

     It's true.  VFKids should be out around Christmas I heard.  It used the
new technology used in VF3 ,but not as souped up.  That way, it lookes more
cute and cartoonie, like anything with the word Kids in it should.  Although
it looks like it might be les than desireable, it has ALL of the moves and
characters (that's what it said in the mag) that VF2 has, just a new image.
Enjoy.
