Game Systems

[MarkA]

What game sytems do you have?

[Steve Mehs]

PC and Other, which would be 2 Sega Genesis systems. Although the only games I play on my PC is LasVegas SuperCasino, which includes 5 Casino games, I managed to win almost a Billion dollars a BlackJack game was playing for a few years, but a few system restores ago I forgot to save the game on a floppy, very depressing. And on Genesis the most interestring games I have are Mortal Kombat and MK3 Ultimate. Other games I have are from when I was younger and cant believe I ever played them. Power Rangers, Home Alone, Taz Adventures and 20-some others.

Cool, old games:) I have a friend really into collecting old games (though mainly old DOS PC games)

[Steve Mehs]

I forgot to mention, my Uncle has a Sega Saturn that I love. He only has 5 games, 3 that came with the system (Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter and Datoyna USA) plus 2 more he bought (Virtua Cop 2 and Sonic 3D something or another) I beat the beginner and advanced tracks within my first few hours of playing DatoynaUSA but the Expert track is tedious. I also beat Virtua Cop 2 and almost beat Virtua Cop but never made it. Satern, that sure disappeared quick.

GameCube is a sweet little box Mark.
I bought it and a month later they lower the price to $149.00.:shrug:

I have Super Nintendo, Sega Game Gear, Game Boy Color, and Nintendo 64. Super Nintendo still is the best!

[MarkA]

SNES had an awesome game library. I'm thinking of buying a GameBoy Advance, which has a lot of similar games. Loving my 'Cube!!! And I hear that if I get a GBA, there will be some link games in the future for the 'Cube and GBA!

I have a GBA which I rarely use. Not bad if you play it. It's a real game platform IMO unlike the crap GB.

I love the PS2. I like playing NHL, and that college football with Lee Corso announcing in it along with two others. That game kicks ass! I play Madden every now and then but I like the college one better.

Grand Theft Auto 3 is wild. I love getting into shootouts and car chases. However, I'm not always comfortable playing it. This game is sick! LOL!

[MarkA]

GTA3 should be outlawed like it is in Australia!!! I'd like a GBA. Maybe when I get some more money:) GCN rocks!

[John Corn]

Hey Mark, What are some of the games you've played that you like for GC?

Right now hew have:
SuperSmash Bros.
Burn Out

[MarkA]

Wave Race: Blue Storm and Luigi's Mansion are great! The only other game I have is Star Wars: Rogue Leader (hey, the games are expensive!) and it's way tooo hard, but it looks like it could be lotsa fun if you were good at it. I'm thinking about buying FIFA 2002 - $19.96 at Wal-Mart. If I do, I'll tell ya what I think of it.

I wish that I would have gotten a PS2 now because there are SO many more games out there for it, and I have other reasons. The X BOX is rather nice, but the amount of games and stuff just doesn't compare to PS2.

[MarkA]

Since I already voted when I didn't have a GBA, could one of the moderators add a vote for Game Boy Advance in my name? I just bought a Game Boy Advance (Glacier colour), and two games - Donald Duck Advance, and The Flinstones: Big Trouble in Bedrock. Any advice on any other good GBA games? Plus, when will the link cable to the GCN and supporting games be available?

Has anybody heard about the PS3 yet? I know I saw a newslink somewhere, but I lost it. It's gonna have a HUGE hard drive and should be released in 2004, if I'm not mistaken.

I have (In my truck) a playstation 2, a Nintendo 64.

In the house I have XBOX, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Nintendo 64, 2 Playstations, 4 laptops and 7 desktop pcs. :)

(My wife wont let me put a data jack in the bathroom) :D

It's clear to me that the XBox is by far the superior gaming system (stand-alone). The game library for XBox will surely expand soon...and with online gaming for the XBox soon, it'll be the ultimate system. I've played the PS2, NGC, etc....IMHO, the graphics / overall system of the XBox is number one.

I like the GameCube...wouldn't mind having one.

I have a GBA. Got it the day it came out, and it does not disappoint. A "must-have" is Super Mario Advance 2 (basically a port of the SNES Super Mario World). I haven't solved it yet, but it's worth the $$. "Super Mario Kart" is also loads of fun, as is "GT Advance." But get the import from Japan of eBay like I did, so you don't have to write down passwords. It's like a "Gran Turismo" for the GBA.

"It's clear to me that the XBox is by far the superior gaming system (stand-alone)."

I wouldn't say quite that. In terms of abilities it's about equal with the GameCube (Hint - MHz doesn't mean speed - the GCN uses a superiour architecture, where as the XBox runs through it's inferior architecture at a higher velocity)

"The game library for XBox will surely expand soon...and with online gaming for the XBox soon, it'll be the ultimate system.."

Online gaming is available now - XboxGW. Games? Given the Xbox is selling the worst of the three systems, I expect it to be the one to die. Sad enough for all who bought it. I've had systems that die before (Sega Game Gear) it's not fun.

"I like the GameCube...wouldn't mind having one."

It's nice - if you like the kinda games it has.

Thanks, I might get Mario Advance

[Adam Richey]

Well, since the XBOX is a Microsoft thing, I doubt it will die. They can always afford to lose a little bit of money. LOL

[MarkA]

Don't you remember Bob? Even Microsoft products die!
