I wonder whether Doom I or II sold more, since they are also a case of two games and one engine. Perhaps Doom is an exception though, since I imagine Doom III, which did sport a new engine (understatement), sold far less than either Doom I or II.
NES MAX still smoked it, though. NES games are meant to be played with a d-pad, not a joystick. I had both, and the MAX is the one I've bothered to hold onto.
There are various criteria by which you can judge what constitutes a species
Which is exactly why it's retarded to act like evolution gives a damn whether it happens "in kinds" or not. This topic seems to come up every time a vaguely genetic story hits the front page.
If the phrase is the next troll, it will be solely because your post begins with it. Grandparent was commenting on the local availability of core sets in the UK.
Currently living in Thailand, ants are very plentiful.
They're that way everywhere, except Antarctica. I hear that Sydney, Australia is one giant anthill underneath, due to an invading foreign ant species. I will leave the alien ant overlord joke to the first reply.
"God bought me this gas-sucking SUV and sent me to Taco Bell!"
Acts of God. Pssshhh... the grandparent's point was that auto fatalities dwarf Iraqi war casualties, yet are seldom mention- ed. In fact, automobile accidents are the number one cause of death for U.S. citizens ages one to forty-five. By any stand- ard, automobiles are an unsafe technology. Yet this viewpoint goes unheard, perhaps because automobile manufacturers are the largest purchasers of advertising time.
his Super Mario Bros. -- the world's hottest-selling game ever -- was the first with a scrolling screen, which expanded the playing space vertically, not just horizontally
End quote. I don't believe Super Mario Brothers ever scrolled vertically. Perhaps my copy was defective. Or maybe they're talking about 2 or 3...
Perhaps UT2004 doesn't attract hardcore deathmatchers? Further, perhaps popularity isn't the standard by which "the" deathmatch should be chosen. By your standard, Counter-Strike (perennially the online fps with the most players) would be the deathmatch.
This is the creationist "change within kinds" argument. It argues that change within taxonomic groups is possible, but crossing familial boundaries is not. That is, it's within the realm of possibility for a spider to give birth to something resembling a tick (arachnida), but not something resembling a cockroach (hexapoda).
What this argument fails to take into account is that taxonomy is a completely arbitrary classification with no basis in reality. It's similar to saying that continental drift occurs, but only within hemispheres of the earth, and crossing the line of the equator is also forbidden. It also ignores the way evolution actually works: It's not a spider giving birth to a cockroach; it's an ancestor species partially between spiders and cockroaches that would give rise to both families.
Basically, if any genetic change is possible, then it is possible to pass it on, and that opens the door to unlimited genetic change over time. To hell with taxonomy.

In my hood, they played "Do The Mario" during the closing credits, and the show opened with the Plumber Rap. Don't know what turf the article author's repping.

Won't somebody think of the Beholders?

For those of you who don't know, the "Google Video Player" is apparently a browser plugin based on the VLC media player.
Let's not talk about that...

Where's the -1, Pseudoscience mod?
Well, hell, let's just train some Giant Sequoias to do our bombsniffing, then.
foobar2000 for audio.
for video.
Haven't found anything these can't play on Windows yet...
but then, I simply don't watch realmedia.

How about Knome?
I don't believe that steel and rubber bounce with the same efficiency, though. ;)
Imagine a rubber cannonball.
Now that's bounce.

Oh, c'mon man, you can't get both?
Heh, Donkey Kong didn't scroll at all...

It'd be real nice if there was a port of Super Mario War that took advantage of the wireless adapter.

And let's not forget this. We are on slashdot, after all.
This should work.
And for quakers, there's Goldeneye for Quake 2.
Because the one at the Pirate Bays is measured in MiB, as opposed to MB.
Ninja Gaiden, or if you're a hardcase, the Hurricane Packs.
Time Splitters: Future also cranked up the challenge near the end, on hard mode, but nothing like Ninja Gaiden.
