If you think of one add it to this thread. Don't forget about the Infered port on the PDA when coming up with ideas. Here are a few. * Tamagachi-like setup, where you can download a character and mature it without the main unit. This was the main idea for the PDA I guess, and I believe that SquareSoft is using this idea for the Chocobo system in FF8. * PDA Prize games. Let's say you beat a level, or whatever... A prize could be "winning" a PDA game that you can play on the PDA. Perhaps when you beat that game you can stick it back in the game console and earn gold points or something. Any more ideas? -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com (Replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me) UIN: 1454810 (You can page me at http://wwp.mirabilis.com/1454810) Voria: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/voria PGPKey: http://www.datasys.net/users/stu/rquat/pgpkey.txt "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous.
