Contra is a highly fair game. I've started with 3 lives, and won. In fact I earn lives. I played through the game about 13 times in a row, and at the end of it, I think I had over 30 lives.
Theres a lot of games out there that aren't fair, but Contra is definately playable.
I remember Dune 2.
I also remember sending an email to WestWood:
Please make a new game with regenerating spice and multiplayer then you have a hit.
I never even recieved a thank you.
Yesterday my mom was installing anti-spyware tools and diagnosing her own computer. She's aware of some of the dangers of bad security on the internet now, and I don't have to do everything for her anymore.
"If everyone knew everything about everyone else, or at least had access to such information, there would be less problems.

In tribal communities, there is humanity and anthropologists love it.
In small towns, people know each other's reputation.
In cities, people rely on money for the most part.
The more you know you're being observed by others, the more you want to make a show of it and be a good person. So problems are solved. Yet, I don't think giving a select group of individuals spying rights solves anything.
The ultimate truth is that everything you do is being watched by God. Whether you cheat or you help the poor.
Hiring more people when you're nearing a deadline often results in a longer development time. The reason is that the developers have to spend time training the new developers.
Now hiring more developers way ahead of time is the way to go.
Say you start expanding your list with anyone who spams your email. So someone gets mad with Joe and starts spamming and redirecting traffic to Joe in emails. The Anti-Spammers think its Joe that's doing the spamming, and slap his website in the doomed spammer's list.
Anti-virus tools are designed to take out older viruses. When a new virus comes out to market, the Anti-virus tools could take years or never defeat it.
The fact that its called ANTI-VIRUS makes gullible people think its a cure all, when its unlikely worth the time to install, let alone the money spent on it
I never really was a fan of Acclaim products, had a wrestling game for Nintendo 8 bit though.
How could you possibly go under in today's video game climate is a mystery to me. I know theres a couple multibillion dollar games not yet made. Let alone the stupid multimillion ones that don't quite fit the multibillion mold.
Oh the grind is better in WOW than it is in FFXI or SWG.
Comparing MMORPGs together, I'd say WOW is better. Don't take it from me that there is a grind, I just didn't see anything past it. I was asking a question if there is anything past the grind, and couldn't see anything.
They had that in Asheron's Call. It was funny, before they leashed him, you could aggro it, and have it chase you back to town. Then it'd launch into bunny fury and kill the 50 or so occupants there in one blast.
I betaed the game. Good graphics, but it didn't seem like there was much to do than a hopeless level grind.
No monthly events.
No property ownership and kingdom duels like warcraft.
No end game.
No adventures or campaigns.
Given I only played to level 20. I either did a quest to deliver, kill, or meet. Or I just went out killing mobs in the field (boring).
I'm waiting for the MMORPG that isn't just non stop mindless click and kill. Sure WOW has some 'special skills', but you just mash some random keys during combat at its just the same as clicking one button in another MMORPG.
Maybe I'm missing out though. Is there stuff to do other than massive level grinding and sight seeing?
Nothing beats a slashdotting like a brutal slashdotting, but I kept hitting refresh and got in only like 10 tries.
I think the whole idea of a chair of AOL CDs is amusing.

You're lucky. All we had was office equipment and we had to defend ourselves. And we were thankful for our office equipment.
Smart kids aren't cool. I think this is a huge problem in schools. When kids don't want to learn, no amount of education will reach them.

Then it can make its own doors. That and have extra jumping power.

How many shells does it hold, and is it a revolver or clip. Does it come with a silencer to avoid pesky street light cameras?

Google improves you
I have long argued this.
People will quit your game if they lose in minutes, levels which took weeks to attain.
Or if people lose equipment that took 3 months to obtain, they'll quit too.
Its bad enough losing your location on the map.

I hope this vaccine would work. Definately would help straighten out the third world better. They already have so much else against them.
I hear you man. The game was boring for me too. They need to make an action style MMOG. Planetside was fun, but you could max yourself out in a day.

The first step to achieving Artificial Intelligence is good robotic vision rendering real life into 3d.

Running from 200 degrees to -100 degrees would kill many people. And I'm pretty sure being creamated and turned into a diamond would kill you.
