I love Ascii because it will ALWAYS be faster than ANY other display protocol out there. Period. You cannot top the speed of Ascii. Well, yes you can.

I never said Duke Nukem was a "Kids" game. That was posted by some guy who claimed he can finish Quake 2 in less than an hour without cheating. I define "Horror" games as games that have gratucious violence, like Hexen and eretic. Resident Evil, I've never played, but I hear its a good game abiat violent.

Remember the scene from Terminator 2 when John Connor hacks the ATM with the palmtop? I'm sure the Gameboy can be modified with a plastic card extention, ribbon cable, and smart BIOS code to do the same. 6502 assembly language is very flexable, contrary to popular belief. The DSS sattelite systems can be hacked to receive free programming, with nothing more than a IBM PC/XT with 256k RAM, and knowledge of DEBUG.

Ascii screens don't have to be "done right". Any Ascii screen is faster than Ansi, and looks better too! Actually, come to think of it, I'd prefer reading Hexadecimal coding anyday over Ansi.

I've yet to break my record of 5 hours on Asteroids, Space Invadors and Crystal Caves (The Bentley Bear Adventure). The Atari has some of the best games that even todays systems are yet to comprehend as far as gameplay value goes. Somebody please explain to me, how a 3k, (3 KILOBYTE!) game with 4-color graphics, can be more addictive than a 64 megabyte million color N64 game? I'll tell you - FUN FACTOR. Anybody here still play Atari 2600/7200? Nick. --- Renegade v5-11 Exp * Origin: Andre Computers OS/2 (1:252/0)
