Nah, I'm not for macho stuff. I just don't consider Goldeneye or any N64 ame "mature". Goldeneye reminds me of kindergarden when me and my friends would play war with our toys guns. We pretended we were soldiers(grown-ups) and went around with toy guns and shot each other. There was no blood. We just fell over but we didn't disappear. --- Renegade v10-05 Exp * Origin: White Noise -- 610.399.9174 -- West Chester, Pa (1:2626/308) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 170 VIDEO GAMES Ref: F1H00046 Date: 01/08/98 From: KANO VUONG Time: 12:54pm \/To: JONATHAN FINGAS (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: Virtua Fighter is great JF> Have you ever realized that it probably took multiple tries to get a scen JF> in a Bruce Lee movie the way it appears?

They're not magicians, they're combatants. It's rare to film a scene perfectly the first try. Without Bruce Lee there wouldn't be fighting games or movies. Bruce Lee was the best martial arts expert of all time. I see no realism no or appeal with the virtual fighter characters. My pet turtles can do more moves then they can.

Yes I have fought several people while playing it. Several guys thought they were tough seeing that I didn't do any of few fancy moves the game had. I soon showed them. --- Renegade v10-05 Exp * Origin: White Noise -- 610.399.9174 -- West Chester, Pa (1:2626/308) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 170 VIDEO GAMES Ref: F1H00048 Date: 01/08/98 From: KANO VUONG Time: 01:08pm \/To: JONATHAN FINGAS (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: Console ads JF> KV> No I don't.

Yes when appropriate that plus playability and graphics. I fan of PSX ecause there are larger variety of awesome games than any other system out there. I am also a big anime fan too. Duke 3D in my opinion wasn't gorey enough. oom2 for PC is so much gorier than final doom. I love the exploding zombies in Resident Evil although I thought the concept of the game wasn't too original. N64 does have cheesey graphics. --- Renegade v10-05 Exp * Origin: White Noise -- 610.399.9174 -- West Chester, Pa (1:2626/308) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 170 VIDEO GAMES Ref: F1H00051 Date: 01/09/98 From: KANO VUONG Time: 07:29am \/To: MICHAEL DEHLS (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: NINTENDO64 16x CD Rom -> If developers used CD streaming, then this wouln't be a problem. -> Blasto uses it, and it's not supposed to have any load time -> what-so-ever.
