The thing is real. They've been selling these "super multi-video game" things for some time now. The ones I've seen have a cheapo little N64-looking controller than plugs straight into the TV. it can also accept regular NES carts, because it's a nintendo shrunk to be painfully tiny.

Age of Empires however (which was also made by Microsoft) is a very good example of the authors having fun while making it. The atmosphere is kick ass, the levels are creative and the cheats are too much fun to handle.
Oh right, Halo. Well, I didn't like it. Seems the authors had a really though boss who didn't tolerate creativity or not following the almighty script.

I think it's overrated aswell, it's as boring as hell really
I have two Xboxes (one modded, one Halo Edition box for Live), a Gamecube (never gets played), and a new-style PS2 that I recently picked up, mainly for GT4.
The modded Xbox has emulators for every other system, including a goodly sized library of SNES and PSX games.
I couldn't get enough of a Gamecube I once borrowed. The games, the controller... just amazing.
Most people don't give it a chance. I think it's an incredibly cool machine, and for some odd reason I admire that they've created a copy-protection mechanism that's not easily defeated.
Every system has their own strenghths and weaknesses.
PS2 is good, it has more games by sheer volume, but has the weakest hardware, and a half-ass online strategy. So-So controller. Katamari Damacy
GameCube is good, has many good games, but the total are few in number, library is lacking. Horrible Controller, Lacks online play altogether. Super Smash Prothers Melee
Xbox is good, limited selection, but a few gems, strongest hardware, Solid and perfect online play. great contoller. Halo and Halo 2
remember, this is all my person opinion.
I love all three systems, but none are perfect, so I prefer to not gloss over the flaws of one, and tear open the flaws of another.
And for the record, I love the large Xbox Controller, it fits my hands like a glove. And my subsription to Xbox Live is well worth it.
I have the fantastic Xbox!
With Xbox LIVE!
Thank you Microsoft!
Well done, Gates!

nice work, good to see some sensible discussion here at last!
Whilst on the topic of 16-bit, was Australia the only place where the Sega Genesis was known as the Sega Megadrive??? That's one mystery I'd like to figure out.
It was MegaDrive everywhere except America (maybe all of North America). In the US the name MegaDrive was already trademarked. I always thought the Super Famicom looked much better than the SNES. The US version was too blocky looking.
:p Sega DreamcastAt one stage I thought the PS3 wouldn't be a bad console to have but Sony are trying far too hard to get this DRM and copy-protection shit into it. They recently officially delayed the release date in Japan, for the copy-protection shit, as I understand. FUCK THAT.
:) Playstation 1
:( XBox ... a broken one from which I looted the cooling fans and aluminum cooling blocks and HDD
:( XBox ... this one works ... but it will soon break hopefully not before the PS3 comes out in November I hear
(I chose XBox over PS2 for stats and graphics not reliability something the XBox can never have)
If Nintendo Revolution comes out in the next year or two I'll get it ... but the choice for consoles is now between XBox360 and PS3 ... or Vista ... I must play games, and I would prefer a console because PCs get old too fast and I hate Vista and M$ ... it's really picking the lesser of all evils ... which I'm not sure if I'm making the right choice. But really with 2 broken XBoxes on my hands XBox360 is completely out of my consideration.
I'd like to know exactly what DRM does on the PS3 to interfere with me using it any way I want to ... I'll look around for articles but maybe you know more ?
What happened to the good old games ? I've been recently playing old Sega Genesis games (on an emulator for Linux ... generator) and find them infinitely more fun than any recent PC game, any XBox game (except Fable ... but it's too short to count for much), or any XBox360 game. How can this be ? Did all the good game devs die long ago ? Or did just their ideas die ?
[rant] I tell you the gaming industry disappoints me, It's hard to find a recent game that doesn't piss me off with it's shittiness. Where has the creativity gone ... there must be a million FPS clones ... they all look alike, same weapons, very similar storylines, etc. RTS games look very similar to one another too. Is it just the division of games that has done this ? I mean you got FPS, RTS, RPG, MMORPG, and a couple of others. And every new game has to fit into these categories ? Isn't there an "other" category ... or something different ? At least they could use some diversity within categories.
(Why am I posting this here and not in new thread ? I figure there will be approximately 1-3 responses to this post ... making for a very small thread. But it has a lot to do with this thread anyway.) [/rant]
Playing the old Genesis games I realized that most of the games don't really fit into categories ... I suppose most are side-scrolling, but that doesn't say anything about content ... the variety is impressive. And there was a lot more creativity ... there was a plot, there was a great storyline, truly epic games ... not the shit I see today :(
That's why I like nintendo - they make original games. The Wii will rock, especially playing all the old classics.
SNES9x + roms = oh yeah
or Gens9x + roms :)

BTW, how did you get that shit to work (Gens = pile of bullshit).
I've just tried to compile it again ... this time trying to fix the source ... but it's a complete mess in there. A horrible horrible mess, many files are missing, some folders and files have illegal characters in their names, the makefiles aren't generated properly ... it's a joke ... a bad joke.
Gens compiles great from the FreeBSD ports system. Too bad it can't see my USB gamepad. I just do my emulation on Windows. Everything works there. ;)
That's strange - my dancepad works just fine using regular USB "keyboard" drivers. Having said that, I've not had a problem with the Gens install in Portage repos either, so it could just be my config. ;)
I just do my emulation on Windows. Everything works there. ;)
Wow, everything works in Window$ ... amazing, well why did you ever move to FreeBSD ? Stay with Window$ where it's always sunny, and everything works the way you want it :D
Everything works there.Especially malware.
You sound bitter. Does the truth hurt? :D
The truth that Window$ is "better" than other OSs ? Well then I don't see any reason why you would be using FreeBSD ... you have not answered my question ...
WHY DO YOU USE FreeBSD WHEN WINDOW$ IS BETTER !?!
I know it's hard for your brain to comprehend, but there are some of us out there in the world that view operating systems as little more than tools (or perhaps 'workbenches'), and whos live don't revolve around on degrading or promoting certain operating systems.
But, of course, there are the ignorant ones out there, who don't really give a fuck ... one workbench is just as good as another, if one takes over, go with the flow ...
So I'm ignorant because I choose not to make which operating system everyone uses one of the primary focuses of my life?
Nope. You're ignorant because you chose to take a quote out of context and feign offense to support your views.
Seriously though, if you don't care what system you use and don't care what practices take place in its development, then you most certainly are ignorant - in both the technical and ideological senses of the word.
Which quote did I take out of context? Was it the one where Tex, the guy who just recently learned how (http://showthread.php?t=10297) to shut his linux box down without the help of KDE, implied that I am ignorant about operating systems?
Ironically, one of the reasons I preffer FreeBSD over linux is what practices take place in it's development. I put the last part of your quote in bold because it illustrates my point quite nicely. Most everyone holds some sort of idealogical stance. Calling someone ignorant because they don't agree with your stance makes no sense. I am fully aware of why people choose to proselytize for linux and Open Source and against Microsoft, but me choosing not to subscribe to those beleifs does not make me "ignorant" in any sense.

I learned that (forcefully) about a week after switching to Linux
I still don't have a console myself by the way.
I have a PS2, and it is terrible. Windows XP is a much better gaming platform.Hey now, if I ever get the DGL-3420 to work, it'd make a pretty unassuming file server. I already have a 20-gig formatted and installed, but I'm considering moving up to a 300-gig. :cool:

1. That's exactly what I'm talking about.
2. There's a great atitude for a community that is determined to grow through propegation and mutual assistance/development. This is the kind of attitude that turns them not only off, but away.[/offtopic]
Personally, I despise playing games on a console. There are limited opportunities for online play, the hardware is behind the times (network connectivity for the PS2 is rather new, while PC games have been online since 1998,) and the PC has better graphics and is more versatile. I mainly use my PC for gaming, with a little bit of music production on the side, because I hate console gaming.
Since refurbished Gamecubes are down to like $60, it'd be better to get one now. Then by the time I'm ready to play the next generation of Zelda games, the Wii will be cheap too. No reason to pay the "so new it costs more" premium.
There were actually people camped (tents and all) in front of Best Buy waiting for the PS3. Considering that Best Buy is having a 12% off sale that starts Friday, these fuckers will probably make a ton of money on Ebay.
People on ebay are making an average $2000-2500

To be fair, the games from Rare and Ensemble Studios (which are both taken over by Microsoft) for the Xbox 360 are pretty good (if not genious, in the case of Conker's Bad Fur Day).
Yeah, but i've heard the new perfect dark doesn't live upto the one that was originally released on the N64..
From what I've seen of my bud's copy, Twilight Princess more than makes up for this. Revolution FTW. ;)Gamecube version comes out this week, I think.
The real question remains: what are left handed people supposed to do with the remote and the nunchuk?Use it left handed? As far as I can tell it's ambidexterious.
I never have sweaty hands, so this isn't going to create a problem for me.

Welcome back Jens... You won't know me, I didn't exist in 2004...So, since then we've had a Wii which was sold to get a PS3. I liked the Wii MUCH more than the PS3, which I've spent about 10 minutes at in however many months we've had it. Well, I'll spend more time at it when Final Fantasy comes out, or when there's some decent multiplayer football game and everyone comes home. That's if it's not sold to get another excellent-ly overpriced console that'll last us a few weeks before a good game comes out.
So anyhow, I've never owned a console, but there's been a PS1, dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 in this house. Only one of them we have ATM is the '360. On HDTV it's pretty damn cool (waay better improvement than I expected).
I think we had a megadrive at one stage too, but I'm not sure if it actually was a megadrive or what, but I know it was a sega... (also had loadsa gameboys)
I preferred the dreamcast to all of them - Toy Racer and Soul Calliber kicked ass on it, single and multi-player. I don't play games as much as I used to now...
Now the proud owner of a Gamecube. I had no idea how small they were, it's very impressive. Makes the oldskool Xbox look like a 1930s radio cabinet. This goddamm Zelda game, Wind Waker, is pretty fuckin good too. I suck at conducting the wind and sailing, but I am definitely going to be spending a lot of time in front of the screen over the next few months. And it all fits on a half-size cd.
But, like in Zelda for example, Link is holding his sword in his right hand (although he was left handed in the previous Zelda games), and you see tennis players in Wii Sports holding the racket in the right hand.
Wouldn't that create a problem?
The Opera browser is the best embedded browser I've seen. Some would argue the lack of tabs, but I believe that would confuse some people, mainly non-gamers which is now also Nintendo's target audience.The PS3 browser seems cool and has great tab support - use the back buttons to scroll between them.
If you want some games that are nice for a few hours, get an Xbox 360. If you want state of the art graphics and sound, get a PS3.I'd agree with that too.
If you actually want to have fun gaming, get a Wii!
Are you sure Opera isn't the PS3 browser?I think it likely is, but it's a waay different interface to the Wii one.

My question related to the PS3, not the Wii.
