There's Tekken Force Mode (Final Fight style), Tekken Ball (Beat you opponent while playing volley ball), etc. I haven't got anymore except for the Theater thing. SI> Blasto SK> SK> looks like another great 3D game. Does it require the Analog game SK> pad? It doesn't REQUIRE it, but I think it's compatible. I'm gonna get it next month. SI> Adventures of Lara Croft, SK> SK> Is that another name for Tomb Raider? Or is that the next one? It's Tomb Raider, but you're not raiding tombs. It continues right from Tomb Raider II. SI> Metal Gear Solid, SK> SK> What do you think of that game? I've never seen it before. It looks awesome! It looks like the best spy game. From what I've read you have to sneak through the shadows. Enemies can tell the difference between some noise and others. So if you fire, they'll investigate. Then you can hide in a box. Then they won't see you. I'm not sure if hiding in a box is actually in the game, but I'm gonna get it. It's supposed to ave a HUGE story. SI> Time Crisis II, SK> SK> I never seen it before. I saw the first one, though in the Arcade. SK> Pretty good, actually. I never saw the second in the arcades. It's probably just for PSX. SI>Final Fantasy VIII SK> I can't wait to see that game!!! I wonder if it indeed going to be SK> released on the PSX. FF7 was the first RPG game I truly enjoyed, and SK> I'm dreaming of a compilation CD from SquareSoft...Every single Final SK> Fantasy game that was released on CD....that would rock...and if we ask SK> nicelly enough, we may be able to get it....even those never released SK> in the US or Canada, eh? SK> I presonally love WCW NITRO, and Street Fighter Alpha 2. I own Street SK> Fighter EX + Alpha, but I don't like it too much. I found it to be a SK> waste of time.

The game is just like the arcade, but better. There's a lot of options. I have Tekken Ball out of all the secret options. And the rumors are true. The Dual Shock will be coming to the U.S. sooner than you thought. Tekken 3 supports vibration. I'm gonna get it whenever it comes out. ...

The first one was the game where you move around the forest, and then the game switches to birds-eye view when you run around the maze killing things. Was that the same as the version for the Aquarius? The second was a first-person Wizardry-style game and had over 200 levels, nd a reported 100 hours of gameplay time. Pretty awesome for its time... Both used hi-res graphics, expanded memory and were VERY advanced, play-wise, for the Intellivision. If they were remade for Playstation, I'd be impressed.
