The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • One-question poll: What do you think about the Gameboy Player coming out in May (allows you to play ALL Gameboy games on the 'Cube)? God's gift to gaming? Ok? Stupid idea?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Ok. It's not that I think it's a bad idea...but to hear you even suggest "god's gift to gaming" makes me shake my head in shame.

I thought the backwards compatibility for the PS2 was rather useless (why not just keep your PS1?)...so I'll leave you to imagine how hyped this add-on gets me...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Well after getting my PS2 i turned around and sold my PS1 for $50, essentially taking $50 off the price and still being able to play my PS1 games is a good thingto me.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It's more of a way to make the GC not only a current system but also an throwback system, since the GBA games are basically SNES games. You get the best of both worlds. Not "God's gift to gaming" but I think it's a great idea</div>
