In -> MY book, a fight is when two people face each other for at least 30 econds -> without a head flying off. As I said before: It's not a fighting game, t's -> just an excuse for blood and gore. Umm in MK you have more than 30 sec. w/out a head flying off, That would be a finishing move...

FLEWIN Time: 09:47am \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: Area 51 - Bonus Area Mini-Faq Area 51 - Mini-Faq To Bonus Stuff v1.5 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =--= Kron Hunter -=-=-=-=-=- When you put in your quarters, choose ***NOT*** to warp ahead and do not shoot anything even if they are killing you. When you loose your third health, A blue good guy comes up. Shoot every blue good guy and nothing else and then you will become a Kron Hunter. Resume your normal carnage, but this time shoot the aliens and stuff and no more good guys. X Marks The Spot -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The first bonus area can be found by shooting out the first 10 windows outside of the warehouse. You have to be rather quick, because the first Two windows scroll off of the screen before you stop. Once inside the bonus room, keep blasting the computer screen. You will find there is tons of little glass windows to blow. Shoot as many as you can, reloading all the way, and watch your Hit streak and Multiplier go ballistic. Headquarters -=-=-=-=-=-= Shoot out the first three blue lights you see in the warehouse, you'll see one by itself just after the screen moves from the purple rocket man. The next two are together after your first intermission. They can be seen really quick and you must blast them fast. When you are in this bonus stage, blast the crap out of all the aliens that are sitting on the toilets and at the urinals. You can also blast the toilets, mirrors and dryers with well placed shots. This is yet another place to make your Streak levels go ballistic. Chow Palace -=-=-=-=-=- After the First intermission, you will scroll forwards, get a better gun and see some windows in the distance. Blast as many windows as you possibly can. You have 2 more opportunities to blast them so use them. When you blast the final window out, you'll enter the Chow Palace. When in this bonus round, be careful of the woman who is strapped down. Blow the alien away and then proceed to shoot every power-up you can. You will leave with the best gun and a stock of 9 Grenades. What-a-Bonus! Egg Cellent -=-=-=-=-=- I am unsure if this is the exact procedure but here goes. When you have the forklift with the barrel attack you, blow away every barrel you see including the one that you hit with the forklift. When you get past the truck, blow the last of the barrels away and boom! Welcome to the Egg farm. Blow away the eggs and the little aliens you find inside them. Mega Streak increaser. X Marks The Spot -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Nope, I realize this one has been done already but I found another place where this bonus round occurs. This bonus room really rocks with a auto-gun. I nearly cleaned the whole thing up. It reveals a picture of a S.T.A.A.R. Member from what I seen. Anyways, I am unsure of this process but it seems correct. After the Egg Cellent bonus room, you'll be going towards a ladder behind a few forklifts. There are several panes of dark glass. Shoot as many of the bottom set as you can. When you climb up the ladder blast away for a bit and then you'll go forwards once more. Where the orange guy and the barrel are, blast him and the barrel and all the windows in front of you. When you go along the ledge, be wary of the flying debris while shooting all the windows beside you. When you go around the bend, repeat the window blowing fest and there you go! X Marks The Spot for the second time. These are all the Bonus rooms I am aware of... if anyone knows anymore, please do not hesitate to share your information. My personal best score achieved from not warping ahead, nailing all the bad guys as best I could and nailing all 5 bonus rounds; Corporal - 190,275 Note: I got rather distracted and died before making it out of the warehouse, but you must admit. That kinda score for a little work is not too shabby.

Nothing... It's just to make the game look a little snazier... Hell some of the worst games of all time have the best FMV. The U64 is a wikid games machine, better then the current Playstation etc. But the Playstation is not a bad machine, maybe not as powerful, but as long as good games r released on it, it will be cool... It's not about power, it's about game play. GAME PLAY.
