It's just a crying shame to me for the company to go from having, bar none, the best 3d accelerators on the market to having to hide behind their propriatary API to keep their edge. They've claimed this entire time they have the best cards on the market -- why do they have to sue everyone else to prove this? Sorry, but when I do finally upgrade from my Matrox Mystique 220, I'm buying a TNT card, nor am I putting VooDoo cards in any machines I build for people.
I got a diamond edge from a friend (thanx gg:) hoping that it would play Saturn games. However, it only plays sega pc games written for the card w/ the Saturn controllers -- it came with a special i/o device to hook the Saturn controllers to your PC. It is kinda nice tho to use the saturn controllers for gamepads in games. -- DrH
I mean, let's face it: mario 64, Zelda 64, NFL Blitz, Goldeneye -- that's all they have to show after over 2 years of existence? I've owned a N64 for over a year, and only own 3 games for it(Goldeneye, Zelda, Blitz). I've owned a Saturn for 1 1/2 months now, and haev purchased 6 games for it. Nintendo has been sucking hind tit for quite a while. They're just upset cause someone found a way to outdate their $150 piece of hardware for free (if you own a PC that can handle it) DrH
