I agree that the PS doesn't compare to the N64 in multiplayer capabilites, but how can you say that PS lacks gameplay? If it lacked gameplay nobody would buy it! The PS doesn't compare to the N64 in multi-player, with free roaming 3-D platformers, and 1st person shooters.

TreyTable@aol.com >> Ok, Gameboy has lasted longer, but the quality of the games hasn't been that great when you compare it to the SNES. I'd say that the best games ever came out on the SNES (Zelda, FF2, FF3, etc.) The only Gamboy game that I ever really played more than I played a SNES game would be Link's Awakening. The PS does have the edge on RPG's and fighting games, but I'd say tht the N64 is up there with the PS in the sports category. Madden 64 blows Madden 98 out of the water. With All Star and Griffey looking great, I think the big N has the PS in baseball. I haven't played Courtside yet so I can't judge it. Other N64 notables include 1080 and Waverace.

Well, the virtual boy is definatly garbage, but i'd always heard the the playstation developed from the SNES CD that Nintendo subcontracted to Sony. When Nintendo canceled the contract Sony continued and finished it off. Although since Sony did the work, i suppose you could say it was in house, but since it started as a project sponsored by nintendo you could just as easily say that it was trash that nintendo threw away. (given for the momment the assumption that the playstation is trash. Not one i would grant without arguement, but thats a different topic) > >Besides, who cares if you can fit more info on a CD.

For me the process seems to run that i'll buy a playstation game, usually an RPG, and play that for a few weeks. Once i finish it off, i'll go back to two player diddy kong and mario kart 64 with my friends on the N64 until the next game on playstation that i want/can aford comes out. i don't know what i'd be doing without my N64 in the big gaps between playstation games. probably be getting more work done, but oh well =) > >The games are so bad!

For a start, Wipeout2097 shits all over = Extreme-G. Yes, the N64 does do perspective correct textures and bilinear filtering = (which, incidentally, has resulted in the 'muddy' looking graphics that many on = this list have complained about), does that make the game more fun to play? By your logic, small games are more fun. Cruisin' USA or Gran Turismo - = your choice. FFVII or - oh, that's right, there aren't any proper RPGs on N64 = 'cos the carts are too small. Of course, if Mario64 had had twice as many levels, = it wouldn't have been half as good.

I would rather play a bigger better game. And unfortunately, you need a PSX to do that. Time & time again, people on this list complain about the longevity of N64 games. PSX & Saturn have that problem too - but not with all of the games. Games like Final Fantasy Tactics which can take 60 hours to complete. Gran Turismo redefines the racing genre in a way that Crusin' USA or San Francisco Rush do not. This whole "PSX is better than N64" "No it's not" thread is pointless. Every console has its good points, its bad points. You cannot claim a console is crap by sampling only one or two games - you're missing a whole *world* of fun, enjoyable, engrossing games available on *every* platform. >Example, play Extreme G. >Get the PSX code (I don't know what it is...) >Try normal and PSX mode. >Tell me what is better... Wipeout 2097? Compare that to Extreme-G, its closest competitor on the N64 at the moment. Wipes the floor with it. W2097 is a supreme moment in modern gaming - and if you cannot appreciate that, you've a *lot* to learn about gaming. Stylish, frantic, demanding, *incredibly* playable. And enough lastability to make me still be playing it. Grow up & smell the coffee.

TreyTable@aol.com > The Playstation is good... but come on. It's not the best system of all time. What about the NES? It may have only had 4 buttons, and low quality graphics/sound, but consoles should be judged by their games. I don't think any system has anywhere near the number of high quality, fun games as the NES. I'd be interested to hear why you think the Playstation is the best sytem. Did you mean best current system? alexh@ivanhoe.starway.net.au To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com *** Comments From: ZINSD - Dave Zins; 04/30/98 07:11am ya.. I would think he is referring to current. Nothing I have ever owned has given me more pleasure than my old Atari 2600. Whether that is due to the fact I had more time to play games back then or what, I don't know. It quite a few good games at the time. dave [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Apr 1998 21:00:52 -0400 From: "Tocher" Subject: Re: [N64] Nintendo's Zelda ploy could backfire... I have made a decision to not look at Zelda64 screen shots or movies about a year ago. I am still clueless to it. I have even stopped reading previews. I want to be blown away, suprised in every way, shape, and form. I believe it was me and a few others on this list that did the same thing, and so far, I think it was a good idea. - -----Original Message----- From: Ian Dickson To: n64@lists.xmission.com Date: Tuesday, April 28, 1998 6:58 PM Subject: [N64] Nintendo's Zelda ploy could backfire... >Evening everyone, > I don't know if Nintendo's plan to keep releasing screenshots of >Zelda is really all that good.
