Its super fun. I've beaten all the platform bonus levels already (kirby's is the hardest IMHO) and I got jigglypuff. That stupid Master Hand screwed me up from getting Ness. I was on normal mode, started with 3 lives and had 2 left ready to face Master Hand. So I start out and I am so nervous the sweat makes the controller slip literally out of my hand. By the time I pick it back up he has killed me once. I died a second time when he had a few hitpoints left. I was Samus. Any tips on how to beat Master Hand easy with Samus? Oh yeah, and why does everyone call Bill Gates a complete loser all the time? I want some reasons. Bastion007@aol.com wrote: > > I must agree, I love Macs.

Idential [sic] systems my eye, D Fenestration... People who have an ounce of aesthetic sense buy Macs not because they want to pay more for a similar hardware configuration, but because they prefer the INTERFACE, which is far superior to the hodge-podge mess that is the Windholes95 interface. Windows Explorer... ... Of course, this isn't the only reason people buy Macs (those iMac's are darned hard to resist), but in my experience it's the reason "enlightened" computer users do... I also use the Mac because I'm a graphic designer, and as someone who's had Windows NT on his desk at work since 3.51 on an always-up-to-date, tricked-out box (just got my PIII 500 MHz - includes 256MB RAM, 3 internal hard drives (one SCSI, two IDE), TNT Video, 20" Trinitron, SCSI CD-ROM, CD-R, external SCSI Zip, external SCSI 640/230/128MB MO drive, external SCSI Syquest drive, SCSI scanner, etc., etc., etc), let me tell you that in this field the "you can do the same stuff on Windoze" arguments just don't hold water. I consider myself a power user on both platforms (I administer an NT network here w/NT Server, Back Orifice, Exchange, etc., etc., etc.) and I know well which I prefer and which works best for me, and it ain't anything coming out of Redmond. As to what's the matter with Bill Gates... don't even go there... I don't have hours to sit here and type about this, and there are already lots of fine web sites out there detailing exactly how and why he's soooo evil...

And what games are on that? Well, how many complete games? I had (got destroyed in a fire) a 100 games in 1 for the NES. It wasn't that great, but it did have the alternate version of Super Mario Bros. on it (I don't mean SMB2 Japan either) Trey [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 23:21:06 +1000 (EST) From: editor - hotgames Subject: [N64] Hotgames.com - Coolnews COOLNEWS: Gamedate June 25, 1999 The Newsletter of Hotgames.com GO DIRECTLY TO HOTGAMES.COM Hello and welcome once again to Coolnews, the newsletter for the ultimate gaming destination on the planet - Hotgames.com!

[snip] >Which racing game for the N64 is the most similar to Mario Kart in terms = of >a short and easy learning curve? I assume you mean F-1 World Gran Prix? Excellent game, and a great deal at $25. F Zero-X is also a great deal at $25. Racers are a very subjective genre. Both games are very fun but certainly not for everyone. F Zero-X is definately the easier one to get into, and the one that appeals to more people. However, if you enjoy realistic open wheel racing, F1WGP will have much longer replay value. >Also what is the best Basketball game? I have seen Kobe Bryant brand >new for about $20.00. Is the game any good. Another great deal. I consider KB the best basketball game out for N64. However, I still think that it needs to be improved before it can equal = the NBA Live series on PSX. I'm hoping that this year's version of KB will be much better. matt ma [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ End of n64-digest V1 #797 ************************* [ To quit the n64-digest mailing list (big mistake), send the message ] [ "unsubscribe n64-digest" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ]
