I said they are potentially better but usually it is diffucult to obtain the correct controls in order to use it properly. Have you ever played NHL games on the computer using only the key board? It is awful. Even though the graphics are substantially better than in consoul games, since the control is horible, the game isnt as great. thats what i mean Stryder wrote: > > On Thu, 18 Jun 1998, D Fentie wrote: > > > 2 words why pc games can and usually are better than consoul games: Star > > Craft. > > Hmmm...here you are saying that PC games are usually better than console > games. > > >If you havent played this game yet over modem and battle.net and > > soforth, you havent lived. > > If you give a rats ass about those types of games I guess...I do not. > > > Why did I buy an N64 then?

Wow. Hold on there. Do you really think Starcraft or C&C will actually come out of the N64 looking good. I mean come on. Starcraft for me takes up at least 150 MB of my hardrive with all the files with it. C&C is even bigger (considering that I put all the CD info on the harddrive). How can Starcraft be compressed into a max of 32 MB. Well, come to think of it. It might be possible if it was for the 64DD since it is about 64 MB without all those unnessary files. But the control would be sucky. You wouldn't have a fast scrolling mouse to move units around and stuff, but only that little control stick. Same is with C&C. I found it quite impossible to fit the whole quake game to a N64 port but it was possible, just no looking that good. Quake on my computer has at least 24 MB compressed. Now, they are now talking about Quake 2 on the N64. NOW THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. It is about 250 MB. Especially with that pak 1 thing. Now, certain games aren't only good for the PC. Starcraft is a good example but there is also those neat 3d shooters like unreal. And then other games like tomb raider and Forsaken. n64 should only be good for games like RPGs and racing and all that other stuff. Though it would be kind of ackward playing Mario 64 on a PC, even with a Sidewinder joystick. I played Sonic 3d Blast (PLEASE DON'T LAUGH AT ME) on my PC and boy does the control suck. I guess the PC is only good with certain games but those games are the most popular.

Did you guys see this article at IGN64? It interesting! - ------------------ According to industry trade weekly CTW, Sony Music Entertainment and Psygnosis have reached a deal that sees Sony distributing software for its greatest rival, Nintendo 64. Wipeout 64 will be the first title distributed by Sony for Nintendo 64, but it won't be the last. The company plans to distribute all future Psygnosis products for the console. "We have switched our distribution, with Sony now handling PC as well as PlayStation -- and they will also take N64 products for us," Psygnosis' Dave Crawford told CTW. It's amusing that Sony, with the sure-hit title Wipeout 64 under its wings, will be making money off its biggest competitor's success. It leaves one to wonder if Sony isn't toying with Nintendo in some disturbing, corporate manner.
