assistant: Hey Vance,
Quoting from a message you addressed to me on 08/29/96 4:27 am:
It depends, I might have some messages addressed to me but I don't get the
time to read them sometimes so peobably some got deleted before I get the
chance to get on.
Nope, I made that name up. That's what the guys in Crazy Train BBS and some
personal guy-friends call me by. One or two call me by my other pseudo but I
can't say what it is because it's my password to the BBS I'm calling from (in
case there's a CT user reading in this echo or the anime) All I can say is
that it's from a character's name in Ranma 1/2. <grin> Ttyl! :)
                          Sincerely,
                              Silky Sayoko

assistant: Whatever man, look here, this is what the permafreeze was.
The permafreeze was a glitch in an early version of mortal kombat 2. When you
hit someone with it, they are frozen for the rest of the match, and the move
is totally UNBLOCKABLE. You guys asked for glitches and unblockable moves and
I gave you one. So don't bullcrap me for nothing.

Write your reply.

assistant: I loved metal slug. It was very reminescent of the good old days. Good
animation and meaty explosions. One of my favorite games is Time Crises. But
I also hate it because it eats quarters. So I'm never playing that until they
make it 2 to start and 1 to continue, rather than 3 for start and 3 for
continue.
I played daytona recently. And this dude shoved me on the side so bad, I
turned around and drove backwards the rest of the race, ensuring that he got
last place...other than me.
Play Virual On/Cybertroopers. I know this is a cybersled like game but this
game executes it perfectly. This is such a fun two player game and a nerve
wrecking game...which is great.
I loved going to the arcades a few years back, make that 6 years back where
there were big crowds around games. And playing them in front of that big
crowd felt oh so good. I wanna go back to the old days! Today doesn't have
that feel anymore...

Code to play as Noob Saibot: First choose Kano, then just before the round
starts hold down HP, LP, BLK, LK and if you are on the right-hand joystick
hold Right on the J-stick while holding the buttons.  If you are on the
left-hand joystick hold Left on the J-stick while holding the buttons.
Keep holding this till you see a poof of smoke, like Cyborg's Smokes
Invisibility smoke screen, and then he will become Noob Saibot.
If the smoke screen dose not apper withing 3 seconds after the round starts,
forget it.  It should happen right away.  It may take awhile.  So far I
have only gotten it to work in the second round.  Once you are Noob Saibot,
you are him till you die.  NOTE: Their is a slight drawback to this little
trick that I did not know until about and hour ago, you must be playing
another person to do this.  Also this will only work on the arcades that
are connected so that you may fight other people from other arcades.
Moves:
  Teleport: D,U
