NA> Its a high point in a company's failure. I know I'll get flack from 
saying
 NA> this, but Nintendo is headed for bankruptsy if its next system (if any)
 NA> doesn't get a kick in the pants. For one, scrap carts. I don't care what
 NA> folks say, carts are a dead medium. As for games, 
 NA> Nintendo appears to see this
 NA> and is getting some new ones out, but its shoveling 
 NA> coal into the Titanic - it
 NA> ain't going to help Nintendo's future.
  I don't think you're really digging Nintendo's grave - rather, you're 
hitting them over the head with the shovel.  I think Nintendo is (or is about 
to be) experiencing a renaissance, now that more developers are finally 
trying it out and using as something other than a showcase.  Also, you don't 
know how well the 64DD will do; it may well give the machine a good 
ckstart.
 NA> What I fell in love with, when it was out, was the Neo 
 NA> Geo. A friend of mine 
 NA> bought it and still plays the few games with it. I 
 NA> forget the name of this 
 NA> fighting game for it, the one where the giant robot's 
 NA> graphics take up the 
 NA> entire screen and it was VERY detailed when you destroyed buildings and 
 NA> things.
  I remember the game, but not the title.  But you're right, the Neo Geo was 
a fun machine - if you were willing to ante up to the cost.  Did you ever 
play a Samurai Shodown game, by the way?
