The Virtual Boy. If you saw the demos in stores, don't believe what you saw - they chose the worst game to demo, the one with single color line graphics (decent game, just crappy graphics). Nintendo really mishandled this one. It had some really decent games, but who would buy it for its pack in game, Mario's Tennis? Especially since they disabled the 2-player mode by not releasing the linkup cable. And then they tried to revive sales with - get this - Nester's Funky Bowling! Sounds like they wanted it to fail. Now, had they released a Zelda, a Metroid, a Starfox for it, people would have lined up for them. In any case, it had a very rad game - Warioland. Best 2d (with 3d overtones) platform game I've played. It makes good use of the 3d effects the system could do, and used its 5 shades of red to the max. Very fun (and long). If you don't have a Virtual Boy, well, if you can find one, they're real chep now (last I saw they were going for $10 with 2 free games). So pick one up and try it out. -- - Dreamwriter Dragon dreamer@sinclair.net -==UDIC==-
