July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Smurf....was that not the first 3D on console game ever. That controller was a piece of work(gun grip handle with buttons in the grip) especially the speed roller. We must have patched that thing up a dozen times(we used to oil the roller for more speed). What about Zaxxon 3D side scroller for the Colecovision. The football used all the buttons and allowed you to control multiple players. That was cool.


Long live the Sega Saturn!:D

i wouldnt say it was the 1st 3D title, far from it actually

i dunno what was the first title to use "3d" models

actually speaking, no console game was ever 3d
we view them on a flat TV screen, so at best they are 2.5D

While playing Dungeon Seige things appear to come off the screen.(pop-out?) That particular game shines with the 3D glasses others have an appearance of full 3D. Drakan also has awesome 3D images. Empire Earth as well.(gives the images serious depth)

I guess to clarifiy only real life can provide true 3D images to the eye, the games only mimic that effect. Backgrounds ect. appear rendered in 3D but that is just shading and fog.


To me games did not mimic 3D well until Tomb Raider emerged and gaming machines became more powerful. Going from the Genesis to the PSX,Saturn and N64 games did appear to have more depth taking on a 3D look.(compare the Madden on these systems verses the old Genesis and NES where the images were flat against the screen with no depth)

With Smurf The character models were rendered in simulated 3D unlike games of the time where models were flat and had no depth. Even though TV screens are flat it would be no different than looking at the world through a window from one point of view.

 The window is flat but the real world image behind it has depth and tells the mind that some objects are closer than others. 3D games attemt to trick the mind to that effect. IMO

I had fun with my NES and SNES...but I didn\'t get hooked into gaming until Dreamcast came along.  That was the most fun I\'ve had with a system to date.

Gamecube is putting up a fight for favorite though.

I origionally got hooked with PSX but I played quite a bit NES and Genesis. I didn\'t understand games back then and was too young to be a gamer.

Meh i only played a little atari at first and things like coleco vision but my loves were NES and Genesis w/o a doubt. So i guess SNES "won" the 16 bit battle but to me genesis was... ahhhhhhh :D. Playing sonic one with my older sister or street fighter, and streets of rage. The music was kool too. Then when jaguar and 3do came around i didnt know much and in the gameinformers they said that they were promising so unknowingly i nagged for one or the other and thankfully never got one. Now i have both and got them for free with games, good for collection, yes yes. Uhmmmm and then when i didnt get a saturn i got a psx for my sisters bday, (she never played as much so i took it :p). Thats when i became pseudo-hardcore. The rest is all gravy and will be told in a new age of reminiscing. And that as they say is that.

(yeah long i know  :rolleyes: )
