KV> If they were flat you wouldn't be able to play or even see them? If KV> the characters are 2D then how come you can walk around a character KV> in cirrcle and they look solid. Goldeneye characters look like paper KV> cut outs. The only time they look remotely 3D is when you're at the KV> select character screen. The way Duke3d and doom work is each character has 8 different "sprites"... one for each direction, so what the game does is calculates the characters angle and matches it with the nearest direction... (which only gives you 45, 90, 135, 180 ... etc) so really, the characters are indeed flat... which also goes for the weapons and ammo, which are only drawn in 1 direction so it looks the same no matter which angle you are looking at it from. No goldeneye has 3d characters and enemies, so wherever you look at them from, you get a realistic view, and they look a hell of a lot better than eniems in the games you mentioned... and BTW, rise of the triad SUCKED... apogee says it was better than doom... what a joke... in ROTT, all the levels had the same floor and ceiling heights, so you couldnt accomplish steps, platforms etc, except by the use of floating sprites which looked horrible. ROTT was a bomb... anyways, cya L8r -veed -*- TurboEDIT v1.60a+ [MSP96] --- Ezycom V1.48g0 01fa0167 * Origin: Milky Way, Langley, BC [604] 532-4367 (1:153/307) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 170 VIDEO GAMES Ref: F1W00015 Date: 01/25/98 From: VINCE WOO Time: 02:38pm \/To: BLOOD WOLF (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: Vote BW> Hey there, you asked to list our best PSX, N64 games and all that?

The 64dd is coming this year and the price of this new add-on will be cheap. My friend told me it will be $79 with a game I believe will be Earthbound. The games will be cheaper than the n64 games. Plus the 64dd looks better than psx2. Psx games can't be rewriteable. The 64dd can do that type of rewriteable.

Psx has only 32 bits. N64 has 64 bits and better >graphics. Play the n64 and you'll find out. The psx is okay for the >games. Even though alot of games are mature. One of my best friends has one. I used to play it all the time until I got a psx. N64 could have done better with the graphics of some of thier games. Psx games are better in my opinion not because of graphics but the ideas behind the game. A great story makes a great game.

That is exactly what I was trying to say. Playstations games have better story lines and better plots than Nintendo's games. I was also starting to question if N64 is really 64 bit.
