i should.. but i haven't bought much in the way of games recently..  messing around with photoshop 7 has taken most of my time, as well as the new tablet i procured..

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

secret of mana ( played gameboy version ), it was cool, save that I ended stuck up at the very end ( stupid tower, couldn't go back to buy more keys, how idiotic is that? )

New tablet, eh? Awesome. :) Anyway, if you ever find the time:

Chrono Trigger's ROM is on this page...
http://www.romnation.net/index/snes/snes_c

You can get SNES9x, the best emulator I know, here...
http://www.snesroms.bz/free-emulator.htm

Warning though, CT has taken up several waking days of my life away which I'll never get back. But it was worth it :D

The greatest RPG ever on any console, by any company is ChronoTrigger. The second greatest is ChronoCross. As much as I like Final Fantasy 6, even it must give way before Chrono.

Someone should blurb out those addresses (admin/poster and quoter) as the site they link to has a few p0rn ads on the page, and the questionable nature of the content.
who needs a signature? ;)

I fear for Fallout 3 in the hands of JESawyer but hes shown that he can be bullied by the hardcore fans (i.e. me) to stick to the true nature of the games.

However FOPOS probably wont sell so they will scrap FO3,if it does sell Interplay (in all their superb marketing genius) will scrap FO3 and make FOPOS2.

FO3 is Interplays trump card, FO:PoS(piece of ****) is just a mindless cashcow.

JESawyer has demonstrated he is competant to be true to Fallout. I think us FO fans are developing somewhat of a reputation you know, as being rather fanatical. I'd still buy if it used the FO2 engine without bugs, but using the Jefferson engine will improve it a lot.

I think Fallout fans have a reputation to upkeep as the most rabid fans of any game.......... the thing is unlike Feargus or MCA JES hasnt shown he can stand up to Interplay's middle management who think they know what the modern gamers want.

That said if MCA had got the project then would it have been another PS:T or an IWD.

However the only reason FO 3 could be Interplay's trump card is because they dont have any other viable licenses to play with anymore.

Exactly, Interplay has nothing but Fallout left.

FF3 at least that's the number in the US; the one with Kefka.  I never beat it but I've played enough of it to tell it's great.

Sorry but FO3 is not confirmed in any shape, way or form.  I love Fallout and will most likely sob uncontrollably at the release of its consol...perversion:ick .  FO3 my be interplay's ace-in-the-hole but, since when has interplay been good at business? :confused:

assuming they're among the oldest editors around, assuming thet're still quite full of cash, I assume they've always been good at business.

This is the Interplay thats not made anymoney from games sales for the last 6 years. The only reason its still alive is because they Sold Shiny, the Hunter license and were bought by Titus. They have possibly THE worst management of any of the major games firms.

In 2000 only 9% of Interplay's output was console based, they were loosing money, they came to the conclusion that making more console games = more money. Now the output is up to 45% and they are loosing MUCH more.

Not forgetting its interplay who "released" and "adverstised" FS2, then moaned that it didnt sell much. Not a. telling anyone it was actually out or about to come out and b. only printing a total of 10 copies for Europe isnt a good start.
