I know, you're saying MDK2???? I just got the March issue of Official Dreamcast BS Magazine (like Nintendo Power, great screenshots and a whole lotta BS, they gave Speed Devils a 3 out of 10 and can't spell Turbo Grafx-16) and it came with a demo of MDK2, Rayman 2, and the new browser and the full version of SEGA Swirl. But anyway, MDK2 is a great game from the demo, not an awesome game, but still really good, and it's got an old-school Ren & Stimpy kind of humor (before Nickelodeon ruined the series). Rayman 2 looks great, but I hope the final version has better analog sensitivity and I hope you can remap the camera buttons to the D-Pad; right now they are what would be Triangle & Square on a PSX pad (I still haven't learned the names of the DC face buttons yet, I still refer to them as what the PSX buttons are) Dave Tell me my life is about to begin Tell me that I'm a hero Promise me all of your violent dreams Light up your body with anger - -- Genesis [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 01:11:28 EST From: Nutz4n64@aol.com Subject: Re: [N64] Sonic/DC (was Turok 3) In a message dated 01/28/2000 10:00:08 PM Pacific Standard Time, TreyTable@aol.com writes: << In a message dated 1/28/00 11:22:19 PM Eastern Standard Time, Nutz4n64@aol.com writes: > Well, I don't know about that.

Then there was X-Men, Gargoyles, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Common thread to all four: continous story. I was mad as he** when Sonic went off the air after two seasons. That series definitely deserved more than that (anyone that's seen it should know what I mean). That's pretty much why I'm not getting it for Sonic Adventure.

The plaintiff, Joey Roccaforte, a man who had his first seizure after playing a Nintendo game, received no damages. Every console title includes warnings about epileptic seizures, usually found in the instruction manual, but sometimes on a separate insert in the product's packaging. According to mmWire, Jury foreman William West said Roccafortee continued to play the games after he was diagnosed with epilepsy and after his family had sued Nintendo.

Swarthout" Subject: [N64] Contest - Sort Of Stay with me on this one: There is a website out there called PayPal.com at which you set up an account to allow for credit card payments to people who don't normally accept credit cards. What happens is that you register (securely, natch) a credit card with them and then you are given the opportunity to "beam" money to people via email. Basically, your card gets charged for the specified amount and the recipient is sent an email saying how to collect it. They can then either deposit the money directly into their checking account or choose to have a check sent to them via snail mail instead. It's pretty slick and is a good way to pay if you participate in online auctions. What's cool about it is that when you sign up, you are automatically "beamed" $10 into your new account (which you can then, of course, direct deposit or have sent to you via snail mail). If someone referred you, they also get $10 "beamed" into their account. All of this leads into my contest idea: If 7 (or more) of you will sign up with the following link (referral by me), I'll draw a name from those 7 (or more) people to be the recipient of their choice of Nintendo 64 game. $70 should be enough to purchase any game in the N64 library and cover postage as well. If you are one of the 7 (or more) people, but not the contest winner, you'll still end up with the $10 for joining, so it's a win-win situation. If fewer than 7 people join, we'll come up with some lesser prize (controller, rumble pack, whatever) that is appropriate for the given amount. I'll know when you join, so your contest entry will be automatic. I'll give y'all 2 weeks to do this so the contest ends on February 15th. Good luck!
