    Journey Escape for Atari 2600, 1982.

    THPS3's hip soundtrack includes Redman's 'Let's get dirty', and the Gamecube version has a little bit of extra censorship. You can guess what words were digitally excised from 'My dress code is all black when I'm making the moves/Similar to the new PlayStation 2.'

    the screen is atleast 3 times bigger than your monitor so it'll look great

    At least three times bigger? I've got 15" and 19" monitors, but I sure don't have a 45" teevee.

    Your recollection is inaccurate.

    (from "the 'Lectric Law Library")
    The jury awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages. This amount was reduced to $160,000 because the jury found Liebeck 20 percent at fault in the spill. The jury also awarded Liebeck $2.7 million in punitive damages, which equals about two days of McDonalds' coffee sales. The trial court subsequently reduced the punitive award to $480,000. The parties eventually entered into a secret settlement which has never been revealed to the public.

    Sounds like about half a mil to me.
    btw: Of course you were around when she sued. It was in 1994, for crying out loud.
