me again.  I just wanted to point out that even load times of a few
seconds can spoil the fun of a game.  I don't think they'll even try to
make marvel super heroes v.s sf on PSX, if you don't know, it's a
fighting game where you take two characters, and you can switch between
them in a battle in a split second, for a suprise attack.  The loading
when a new character comes out would severely hinder the suprise
element, not to mention the fun element of the game.  nd the mortal
kombat series has it's problems, too.  Shang tsung, everytime he
morphs, you have to wait 5 or so seconds for the new character's moves,
etc. to load.  Also severely hinders gameplay.  WWf wrestlemania:In
royal rumble matches, you hve to wait 5 seconds for  new wrestler to
enter the ring, really annoyed me.  so although cd's are better in most
cases, there's just some games that are ruined with load times.
