I remember that ad! It was for Zelda 2... the perspective was from the side, and it was supposed to illustrate the new side-scrolling style of the game.
Actually, the humans have it much worse than the monkeys ever did. From the article:
"Thagard also had the distinction of being the first person ever to clean out animal cages in orbit, on the Spacelab 3 in 1985. Engineers promised him that the cages would be at negative pressure, so none of the weightless waste of 24 rats and 2 squirrel monkeys would escape. But when Thagard opened the cages, air rushed outward, leading to a frantic floating-feces chase scene."
P2P would be the perfect medium for cvsup and other similar services. Instead of a lagging server, people will update their source trees from whomever posses the most up-to-date copies.
Emergent games have been stealing work from good, hard-working American games for too long! We need border restrictions to keep the emergents out of our country!
The biggest difference, imo, is the time limit. GTA1 only allowed you so much time to get through the missions, so unless you cheated or managed to extend your time a great deal through completing missions quickly, you had to continue in a very mission-based, somewhat linear fashion.
GTA3 had missions with time-limits as well. Right at the beginning of the game, you have to plant a bomb in that guy's car before he finishes lunch. vslashg has the right idea; GTA1 and 3 are so very similar. Activate 3's overhead camera mode and it looks exactly like a non-3d GTA sequel.
Then again, there was never really a "non-3d" GTA to begin with, but whatever.
Mega Man is a very Japanese game. Capcom clearly wants to sell a lot of these in Japan, so it makes sense that they would only focus on the two successful systems over yonder.
Silly technical politics like this shows why consoles always manage to trump the PC games industry. What good is an open system if nobody can agree what works?
Is a powerful system with no cohesive graphics standard really that much better than a consistent, albeit more primitive piece of hardware?
I have to question the legitimacy of this Zelda rumor, as the supposed bundle is missing "A Link to the Past" from the SNES. Ocarina of Time borrowed much from this game, and any compilation of classic Zelda titles would have to include it. Such evolution took place between the second and third games, and subsequently from the third to "Ocarina," that gamers would be missing a critical "link" in the chain. (har, har)
No, nuclear waste cannot be managed and contained safely. You're spouting exactly the kind of BS that the Yucca Mountain supporters want you to believe. Tool.
Much more importantly, why do the "Apple" and "Games" sections of/. get their own Slashdot logos, while the "Developers" get the Joan Collins special? Rabble! Rabble, rabble!

I think we have another candidate for "Most Over-Hyped Game."

Just a thought.

This is not fanboyism. I'm an Xbox owner as well.

I am the walrus. I am the frivolous lawsuit.
Possible. I'm only aware of Gamespot's website.
:-P
On a side note, while EB does have a few locations 'round town, we have no store called "Gamespot," but we have "Gamestop." Eerie, no?

I just beat Zelda II for the first time earlier this summer. That's, like, 13 years!
Hardest game ever!
Actually, I would prefer no waste at all.

I never thought I'd hear the phrase "Master's level Introductory."
Kiss my black (white) ass
Oh yeah, this color scheme is very pleasant.

I wish you weren't an AC so I could add you to my "friends" list.
Linkin Park SUCKS!!!!!
...and the winner is: Acidic_Diarrhea! Yay!
Wow, that "noctilucent clouds" page has a link to Webcrawler. I haven't been there since, like, 1996!
Will any level 9 nerds out there explain what a tabletop RPG is?
Then what's the "mad-max" thing, then? Like I said, dumb. Not you Zilch, the article.
