The only place I can play neo-geo games these days is in the Laundrymat. I'm glad they are coming out with something new, though I hope the new Metal Slug isn't another FPS. Maybe something like Silent Scope would be fun, with multiple players. I really that type of game, but we'll see.
I can get you that info! Just reply to this post with your Name, address, home/work/cell phone number and the times its convenient for us to kick down your door.
Thanks in Advance,
But I think it needs somes filters. IE, I'm Gamecube and GBA only, so I don't really care about the upcoming releases for X Box. Also, (a typical/. response) fix them colors!:)
OT, I like the games.slashdot.org color scheme!
I remember taking PHI and HOU to the championship in every football game, well, every game that had them. Remember, some games didnt even have all the teams!!
Still, HOU QB#1 and PHI QB#12 were the best in whatever game I played.
Mario Kart 64 was THE game to battle on while I was in college. Now, with this baby, you can hook up 8 people!!!
I fear for the grades of those currently in college!
You can drop tone and use pluse. My parents still have pulse service. And they have the latest and greatest cordless phones, too! They know that if they need pulse for anything, they just hit the Tone button on the phone. My dad asked SBC what it would cost to switch to Tone service. $20 was the answer with a monthly fee at that!
No thanks!
If you are tired of the ClearChannel junk on the radios, I suggest you get XM Radio! I too, grew tired of the same songs over and over again. So, with XM, I choose what I want to listen too. And, if I'm in the mood for some Pop Music, I'll tune to 21 which is KISS FM in Los Angeles.
On a side note, I seriously think that the people at ClearChannel synch up their stations so they all play commercials at the same time.
..is with some Tiberium.
But seriously, could you imagine a bunch of dudes driving around in an old pick up up against an army of Samus Aran like soldiers. It would be no contest. I know I'm thinking waaay into the future. Then again, back in the 80's, laser guns were only seen in cartoons, but is seems they are just around the corner.
If so, it will change a lot of things. I mean, I have some turkey in the fridge right now. And it so happens, I need some gas for the truck. Oh, what to do...
thinking that/.ers would actually RTFA. I mean, come on, this article is freaking long(compared to the usual articles), and knowing that its 01-Apr-2003. No thanks!
The Sega Channel???
on
Games on Demand

· Score: 3, Interesting
Does any one remember the Sega Channel? Basically, your sega genesis was hooked up to the cable and you downloaded games and played them that way. I (Being a nintendo zealot) only played when I went to friends' houses, but I was really cool not having to go to Blockbuster to get a game.
I wonder what ever happened to that.....
The article mentions a guy from bexar county(San Antonio, TX. I got a call from them to take a pre-interview test. Lo and behold, there was a section on cobol. And it was nothing hard, if I have my little Cobol book with me, but since my brain erased that whole class(and most of the semester, due to booze) I crashed and burned. I did well on the FLOWCHARTS!! though
Quote the artilce: ...but the annoying "Terminals" menu in the root Kmenu which lists 5-6 different... terminals is still there (that's obsolete and geeky, in my humble opinion).
Now, GNU/Linux(dammit) isn't mainstream yet, but I'm sure we have find a happy medium between a geeky set up and what we'd set up for grandma. Could this be an option in future releases? I know you can configure mandrake to death, but how about some pre-configured set ups?

Now I have a place to discuss new games with my fellow /.ers. Ok, let me ask, does anyone know of a good SNES controller -> USB/COM/LPT adapter?

AMEN!
And, we'll trade Roms while we're at it!
1. Make the music service everyone is asking for, but only for your hardware. (5% of the market or something like that)
2. ????
3. Profit!
Perhaps you guys in TN can hook something up with Meetup.com. You know, the guys that do the /. meetups. Just a thought.

... It doesn't matter if you're coding for love or for money, there are some things that apply to both....
I'm not a lover, I'm a coder!
Lets say 7,000,000,000 people on earth. If everyone got SARS, 280,000,000 would die(thats if everyone got it.)
If 1% of the population got it, thats 2,800,000 deaths. Not good times...
Unless you are the pharmacutical company that invented this to wipe out the world and start a new earth, while you hold the only antidotes!
1) Bundle "new" search engine with your OS.
2) Have google on the back end.
3) Add lots of pop ups.
4) Profit!!
At last, the plan is complete.
