(No pun intended) I love playing as First of all, I think it's very hard to find 10 people to sit down and play a game of bomerman. Also It's hard enough to own 10 Saturn controllers. You can tell friends to bring 1 or 2 controllers over, but not that many people have saturn. While playing the N64 Bomerman64 or MarioKart64, in 4 player mode, my friends usually triple team against me. In battle mode of MKart64, I don't mind cause I still win in a 3 vs 1.

The thing is I don't know all the controls. I know that the control stick turns you and aims the fire, the A button fires (Rapid fire when held down), the B shoots a bomb, Z jumps, and R makes the animal walk. 1. Is there anything else I should know about. For example, is there a way to lock on to enemies, or to boost yourself when running via, the C < button. 2. And is there such thing as getting two laser power ups, making two blue lasers (same for the tank). 3. And in the Corneria level, when there is a power up in the air between two small mountains, how do you get those. Everytime I jump for it, I come up short. 4. How does the Landmaster tank, and animal (Fox, peppy, slippy, falco) avoid fire from the Arwing. I am not sure jumping helps or floating with the tank. 5. And Last but not least. Which is the best for multiplayer (excluding the time trial). I heard that the Arwing can kick the tanks ass, the tank can kick the walking guys ass, and the walking guy can kick the Arwings ass somehow. Is that right. Thanx for some answers.

N64 will make it because Nintendo have the best marketing strategies, and when was the last time you've seen Nintendo lose a battle to Sega? True, lack of space is a bit of a problem, but even if the cart were 1gb in size, they would make the same lenght and quality of games but only with a bunch of FMV to fill all the space. Nintendo should stay with the N64 until they see if DreamCast would kick ass. A lot of people would rather pick an N64 or a PSX priced at $129 than a DreamCast priced $250 which is made by company that since the release of Sega Genesis never made a secure system that would last long without being eaten by the competition or being outdated.

Every system has it's limitations and we are going to have to live with that fact. I think Sega is getting a little too ambitious with this DreamCast. This is the console market, hello. I don't want to go spending $150 everytime a new console comes out, let alone $250. Plus, the only decent game I've played on a Sega system was Phantasy Star. Unless they can get some really good games out for the DreamCast, I won't buy it. Even if all that cool hardware can microwave my coffee when it gets cold.
