Max, Millia, Roy and Isamu got 'em beat. They are Ace pilot. But Amuro and Char are evolved human (aka New Type) with psychic power... Amuro did push the asteroid, "Axis", away from earth... Yup. All by himself. Barehanded, too. Not even a spacesuit. ... Ummm, no.

That's actually outdated news now. Things change. Watch this space for news!!!!!!!!! Graham ONE TO ONE!111

The Wonderswan is already dead, the production stopped on the systems over six months ago and the last few games are trickling out now. Actually, as I understand it, Bandia's still willing to make Swan Crystals for sale, they just only take large orders, like the kind a major retail store would place. Really? Thats cool, except I imagine there's enough units in the market right now. You can find one on eBay for like $50. Maybe I should upgrade my Color to a Crystal. Well, the big problem is that the people that can place the size orders Bandain's looking for really don't care to.

What hte HELL are real-time graphics?

Who cares if they make other planes in 1/48? It's 1:1 or nothing!

They ARE plasma. Specifically, plasma contained at a high density my a minovsky particle structure. Which makes the theorization posted by Final Vegeta even more speculative. I wouldn't trust it, personally. Personally, I want to see the YF-21 get in there. It's the only thing I see giving the Macross side a real chance against newtype/zero system/insert-plot-element-here pilots. And yes, SRW rules. Any game where the Maizinger Z can beat up on a Zaku gets my vote automatically.

That depends on your laptop. You know, little details like CPU speed, amount of RAM, video chipset...

BabelFish is for entertainment only. ... Well, if you're VERY good at reading engrish, or only looking for a few key points, you may get something out of it. Like that the product in question has leprosy.

It depends on the delivery vehicle. No. A nuclear device is not like conventional explosives(only some of which explode when shot anyways). http://science.howstuffworks.com/nuclear-bomb.htm as an educational link.

What about Zechs or Treize? Amuro and Char are newtypes. Telepaths. Zechs and Treize ren't. They have no advantages. Now if someone who knows what you're going to do before you do it can lose(presumably because MSes are slower than VFs), what chance do mere mortals have?

And like I said, it sucked.

GBP = Ground Battle Protector. No, it's not intended for space use. Hikaru was abusing the concept.

Zelda is NOT an RPG, it's an adventure game. </pet-peeve> Anyways, PN03 is good if you like old-school action(it's more related to 1st-era arcade games like Galaga and Space Invaders than modern 3D action titles). And Metroid Prime is a must-buy. zelda is was and will always be officially listed as action/rpg so twirl on it... Actually, the first Zelda game to ever be listed as an RPG was Zelda 64. And that's only because Nintendo wanted to tap FF7's generation of a new market buzzword. The NES, SNES, and Gameboy games were all listed as adventures. And I don't give a flying buttfrakk what Nintendo claims. The only Zelda to even be close to an RPG is Zelda 2. Which sucked. Metroid is closer to an RPG than Zelda(while still not being an RPG at all). But NO ONE ever calls Metroid an RPG, because it lacks swords.

Just checked here. http://donut.parodius.com/ Neither the PC-98 nor the PC-8x01(since I'm not sure which hardware had the games) has had translations for Macross.

I have conectix vgs and I love the thing. Not only does it play all games (legit ones) it will run any game just as well as a playstation (except for the resolution) on a Celeron 333 with windows 98 and 32 megs of ram. Of course, on my laptop I had to get a mod version for windows xp. And color depth. VGS only runs at 16 bit color. 24- and 32-bit screens are dithered. ... I hate dithering.

What does it do better than ePSXe? I mean, all the graphical and audio stuff is handled by third-party drivers, so I guess it handles games better? I know ePSXe has a few fatal flaws.. the Deus battle in Xenogears comes to mind... The actual system is done by the emulator. That means the CPU and all the stuff on the motherboard that ISN'T your video chipset or audio chipset. Actually, I think some of the AV hardware stuff is done by the emu too, though I'm not clear on the division. There's really an awful lot that goes on outside the AV hardware that can really frakk a game. As an example, DYRL hangs on one level in the PS version(the boss never enters at the end) and the continue screen doesn't work right(it auto-continues before the countdown even appears) when using ePSXe. PSXeven the continue screen works right and the boss... well, detonating a bomb will slap some sense into the emu(whihc is better than ePSXe). PSXeven also lets you reconfigure plugins without restarting the emulator and mid-game(hypothetically, in practice it tends to crash when you do the latter, though the former almost always works). Personally, I'm just glad I have very little use for PS emulators, as I don't see any of them being at a really usable state yet.

Well, if you have the hard drive space, it's worth it. Figure about 700 megs per game (x2 for Xenogears, 2 disks). And 3x for FF7. I think 4x for FF8. If I recall, part of that is due to the way some emulators handle the CD drive. It should vary form emu to emu.

Any PS emulator should allow real CD usage. ... I personally prefer PSXeven, which is currently superior to the commonly recommended ePSXe.

To be fair, I've seen steaming crap with better gameplay than RT GBA. And I find the FamiCom Macross game one of the better ones to date. I actually prefer it to the Super FamiCom and arcade games.

Voodoo.

A GIGAHERTZ?!?!?!?! Fix your computer. Now. I know for a FACT that a 500MHz machine with ZSNES on it and a video card with adequate RAM(16 is enough, 2 isn't)can run any non-SA-1 game at the full 60 FPS with a graphics filter applied. As far as emulators... ROMs are legal. ROM images are legal too, as long as you make them yourself(or as you mentioned, they've been made freely distributable, as have Vectrex ROM images and the Jaguar BIOS ROM image). But that's not relevant to a discussion of PS2 emulation, as PS2 games don't come in ROM carts, so the only PS2 ROM is the BIOS. And no, there is no decent PS2 emulator yet. There's not even a decent Dreamcast emulator.

I doubt I've seen this specific monstrosity, but I HAVE seen those jillion-in-one pirate units before.
