      Actually, "Mah-Jongg Fight Club" is the original name of the game. I've seen it in Japanese arcades. You "fight" on-line.

      Of course, I just violated the first rule of Mah-Jongg Fight Club...

  2. Mah Jong? by Cowclops · · Score: 5, Funny

    A third of the release day games are mahjong.

    I guess those Japanese GOTTA have their mahjong.

    You'd figure the GameGear/Lynx came out what, 15 years ago...they'd have figured out how to get 10-20 hours of out of the damn things by now.

    Anyone use a laptop back in 1990?

    $3,000. 2MB RAM. 386 processor. 40MB HD. 640x400 CGA screen. 2 inches thick, 10lbs, and you'd be lucky to get anywhere near 2 hours battery life out of the thing.

    What are todays laptops like?

    Half the cost. half a gig of ram. 1.5ghz processor. 60GB HD. 1200x800 screen. 1 inch thick. 4 lbs. 5 hours battery life. Integrated sound, DVD drives, wireless networking...

    You'd figure we'd have some pretty decent handhelds by now. We're better off emulating SNES games on our PocketPCs.

  5. 333 Mhz is a lie by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sony continues to brag about the 333 Mhz processor in the system, but it's a lie. While the processor may technically be *capable* of running that fast, it's in fact been throttled to 222 Mhz. Developers have the option of running it even slower, but there is no way to run it faster.
