 JF> You seem to forget just what the Katana's specs are.
 What are the Katana specs? I read some rumored ones a long time ago,
 but I forgot what they were. I don't pay attention to Sega.
 
 DM>  Why didn't devolopers have time to make the most of it? They realised
 DM>  it was a sinking ship from the start. 
 JF> Got any proof for that?  Most likely, no.  And if what 
 JF> you say is true, then how do you explain Alien vs. 
 JF> Predator, Tempest 2000 and a few others?
 
 Yes I do. THere not many games for the Jag. No one liked it. No one
 cared.
 Another turn off was the joypad with 38566 buttons.
 DM>  What? There was like a total of
 DM>  15 titles on it? When no one buys your system, and developers don't
 DM>  devolope stuff for it, where does ad money come from? Maybe it didn't
 DM>  suck, but it was a preety damn good case of wrong place and the wrong
 DM>  time.
 JF> That much is probably true.
 Of course. I can be right sometimes.
 JF> If they'd come out with the Jag 6-12 months earlier,
 JF>it might have seemed rosier.
 
 Maybe because it was realeased in the middle of the year. Most systems
 are realeased in the august to october range.
 JF> I guess it's the same as it is with Microsoft and the PC 
 JF> industry right now.  It would take a team of geniuses to 
 JF> dislodge Microsoft's dominance in the OS market, and so far 
 JF> few are visible.
 JF> The Neo Geo?  Basically "The Arcade: Home Edition."  
 JF> That's all too true, I think!  It was basically the same 
 JF> hardware you'd find for Samurai Showdown & Co. at the 
 JF> arcade back then.  That was both a plus and a minus; while 
 JF> it was certainly powerful, it was also really expensive!
 Well devolpers can't release anything for other OS's because it
 would be too much of a risk. It's WIN95 or NT, or nothing.
 Did anyone buy the neo-geo? I never saw an ad for one.
