     I agree 3D has far more realizem than 2d for graphics and all action
     I've played Duke Nukem2d and DN3D and nomourus other games which are
     in both 3&2d. To stay interested in a game nothing keeps the
     excitement of 3D.
     Mind you it would be nice if we could upload that are on SNES ,SEGA
     ect.on to computer format. If it is possible I'd like to hear about
     it. You have to admit there were some cool games out there.
