One of my recommendations is the Neo Geo Pocket. The newest handheld game system from SNK. You can get information about it here: www.snkusa.com The cost of the unit is only about 70 bucks, and at www.kaybeekids.com they are selling the Handheld with a free game, AND a $10 dollar gift certificate if you use the code word 'FIRSTTIME'... WITH FREE SHIPPING. SO... to sum up.. a perfect color, 16bit handheld... with free Contra-like game... with free shipping and 10 dollars off. How much!? 59.95 flat. Out.
I have been following the Ion Storm debacle ever scince it began in 96. We all know what a joke Ion Storm has been. Its basically John Romero and Co. trying to slap their names on boxes to sell software. What is VERY interesting to me is... have you ever seen a Quake 2 box saying 'John Carmack's QUAKE II'?? Why not? He's the most popular of the Id boyz....
I'll tell you why..
BECAUSE JOHN CARMACK IS NOT A FREAKING GLAMOUR WHORE.
His interview prooved that he is someone who lets his actions speak for themselves. He didnt lie about his past in the interview. He was straight up. He said basically said when he was a kid, he screwed around a bunch. He dropped out of college. These are words of a modest person. Not of someone who is an Attention-Addict (like Romero).
Memo to Romero: RELEASE THE FREAKING GAME ALREADY. There is *ALWAYS* going to be something better out there. Just take the dive and do it. Perhaps your name will sell a few thousand Daikatana's.... who knows? But stop with the, 'Dude, we cant release now because Quake 2 is comming out and we are based on the Quake 1 engine.'... *a year passes*.. 'Suck, Quake 3 is comming out soon.. and we just got finished updating it with Quake 2 engine.'...
... and this one time... at band camp.. we were talking about bringing back the Amiga.. and it was.. like.. so cool...
... Hey guys!. I know what we could do... we could like... tell lies about the Amiga.. but this time.. say the lies backwards... that would be so cool... like: "Revolution new the start will we." That would be sooo funny..
