I am absolutely hanging for him to update his web page, I'm sure he's gonna have heaps to say, now that he's officially allowed to, sort of. Saw a screen shot of Tempest 3000, looks pretty much like the others though. Can't tell much from a static shot though... Initially I thought X was looking very cool. Then I was cold to the idea, when I learned it wasn't a console. Now with this 1500MHz (or was is 1500 MIPS?) business and the idea of having entire 3D voxel-sprite sports games is making my knees sweat again. I'm damn sure the first DVD player I get will be X enhanced, absolutely. -- Toby.
