Dunno if you will get an answer from the parent or not, but I just used Clusty to look up "Atari Jaguar" to get a list of sites about the system and, hopefully, games. It broke it up into these categories:
Atari Jaguar Games (24)
Reviews (21)
Sega, Nintendo (15)
Emulator (15)
Cheats, Codes (10)
Classic (12)
Box (8)
Design (7)
Museum (6)
Resource (7)
This made it easy to find review of games and the system as well as potention places to buy game and get history on the system. Not 100% perfect, but a pretty decent job in the inital grouping. It did more that I could do in my head from getting a 100 serach results from the first page result from Google.
Joining the Clusty bandwagon here. While I don't think the results are any MORE relavent than Google by any stretch, the search engine is more than adequate. The grouping/clustering mechanism, however, makes it VERY easy to navigate your search results, especially, when I am looking for several pages or sources to peruse through.
Agreed... although the "Twins" trilogy was very very good also IMO (written by the same authors)... but once other authors started into the setting with the "Tales" book (and the three gazillion books afterwards) i lost all interest.
However, the first and second trilogy is a great read IMO. Also, "Dragons of Summer Flame" (the uber-long 4th book of the original "trilogy" which came out YEARS after the orginal trilogy and by the original authors) is not too bad either.
even worse (esp. with Compute! gazette) was the 8 pages of hexadecimal that you had to type in the sepcial assembly code entry program that, was itself, written basic and you had to type in also.
of course, after 8 pages of hex number, you ran the program it was just another shoot emup/maze game close that just ran faster than basic;)
(ok, ok, there was one or two really good programs there ultimately)
Joystik was a cool mag, well formatted, neat articles.... actually had a subscription to that in the 80s for a couple years. Great insights on coin-ops of the day.
well, Earthbound 2 was canceled before the death of the 64DD was offical, IIRC (which I may not)
of course, Earthbound 2 (or Mother 3 as it is called) lives on for the GBA now. Only in Japanese, though, for now. From what I had read, most of the characters and story elements from 64DD version was used to make the GBA game (which resembles a lot like Earthbound / Mother 2 in look).
Yes, and there are minor mispellings (i.e. the absense of a single spance in an other wise decent english phrase). Also, there are gross abuses as the sentence you wrote exemplifies. Indeed, I would have trouble reading that and would not want to ever again. "ALOT" however, is just a very minor nuisance (at least to me) and offers no good reason (again, to me) to get overly upset about.
No, I got it. I understand what they (Sony / Microsfot) are TRYING to do. I also understand what Nintendo is trying to do also. I don't know if Wii will be the winner or not... or Microsoft... or Sony for that matter. I just think Nintendo will find a bit more success this time around if they keep their approach steady as they are now. Either way, they *seem* to stay in the black, regardless.
You're not getting Nintendo's marketing strategy, are you? The Wii is not marketed specifically to the current user-base of current-gen consoles. Sure they want the hard-core gamers, but, they really want to tap into the casual and non-gamers, which their new system may very well appeal to.

Yes, for those of you playing buzzword bingo, I just got a BLACKOUT!;)
No all C proves here that it is much EASIER to develop a small program very quickly. Once you reach a larger scale, the beauty of a well-defined OO language (of course, having good developers help in all cases) will shine through again and again. Oh yeah, C++ doesn't count, as (well for me personally) I find it an abomination of C.;)
Just looking a breakfast cereals that I would buy, I can save 30% of their price (and they sell in BULK) just going down to the grocery store a mile and a half away... which I would rather do anyways.

These companies need to forget it, they are never gonna be Commodore... OK? ;)

That's a GREAT IDEA!
:D
Then... I could afford MORE gadgets!

That's exactly correct. You measure them in "Library of Congresses"... duh!

there comes a point where anything times zero is still zero, and no one is doing any better or worse at censoring than anyone else
