It's in 3D, first off. The main appeal of SSB is playing with your friends bashing each other with Nintendo characters. Powerstone is more of a "look at the fancy graphics" type of game. It is definitely more arcadish than say Tekken or Soul Calibur. When playing Powerstone (which I did extensively in the arcade when it came out), I found that being able to run around and climb things wasn't very useful. The stages are too small. In SSB, most stages are large enough that you can easily run away from your opponent. In Powerstone it's like running around in a room.. you can avoid them for a while, but sooner or later they'll catch you. Add to that the extensive range of projectile weapons and attacks, and climbing doesn't really do you much good.

N64 - 3D Effects as hardware features, mip-mapping, anti-aliasing, perspective correction, etc.,...not on any of the consoles available at that time. Dolphin - This is where I'm stuck.

Like i said, its definately hardware and you can extrapolate the rough idea of what it is from n64 and snes. BTW, related parts of the big secretyou already know, like the loads of embedded ram in the console. I'm not entirely clear myself how much ram there is, but its my understanding there's embedded ram in the gekko processor, embedded ram in the ArtX chip as well as RAM in other components of the console.

Hmmm...The first time I played it that's what I thought. But as you experiment with fighters & get to know each one and what they can do, there's a stragety element to it. Speed, strength, & the size and openness of the arena come into play.

The stages are too small. True, the more you play, the more you want to open up the arenas and keep going. Some of the attacks are too powerful for the small areans, but for a novice to fighting games, I don't mind. I think the game forces you to focus on what's available, can you get to it, and how to use it. >In SSB, most stages are large enough that >you can easily run away from your opponent.

As someone who just had the cd-drive on his computer crap out (won't close and stay close, with or without a disk in the trey) i completly agree. Anyone else remember how hard it was to get the Nintendo to work right after awhile? Or the way it would reset itself if you acidently bumped it slightly?

It loads, it's bland, the AI is nonexistant, the levels are a troublesome waste...I can point to various more worthwhile games to get. Hell, you can't even find the first boss within the first the hours of playing -- instead you have wander mindlessly about the levels again and again searching for pieces of something or another so you can actually begin to have any real effect in the game. My suggestion is this: screw both of them and get something worth the cash. Honestly, neither game looks worth it. Shadowman has potential in its design, but its execution blows.

If that's what you have to choose from, I feel sorry for you. The obvious choice is neither. Instead get Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for the PlayStation. Before I got my Dreamcast that's all I played. It's a great game, and gives you violence along with a great story, excelent control, and huge "dungeons". Some of the puzzles require some thought, but the game (so far) isn't cheap, a very well designed game. Plus it doesn't resort to potty mouth in place of content.

Get over the multi-tap will you?? Sheesh...First, let's get something straight. The mulit-tap failed due largely to the fact that the PSX does not have the horse power to do four player games well in the first place. Second, I have never declared the demise of anything...get a clue bud. You are trying to make me out to be some Nintendo hater so you don't have to listen to the valid point I make. But the fact is, I don't hate Nintendo. Overall, I have just been disappointed by the N64. And like I said, I just don't SSB is a great game...it is AVERAGE..get it? And I think it would have had a lot less commercial success without the mascots and Pokeman. You just can't accpet that I may indeed be correct.

I was not drawing 'parallels; between the PSX and N64!! I was talking about SSB. At what point did it turn into a N64 vs PSX discussion...i must have missed that.
