  1. The demo was terrible, IMO, but it's looking better, now. I hope they update the demo.
  2. http://www.microprosesystems.com/gameline-image1.gif Eh, that joystick looks pretty nice, really. I see they're jumping on the digital TV bandwagon. And, generic-looking cables? Meh.
  3. Excuse me while I necro-post, but Stracciatella has been compiled for the Nokia N8x0 series of Internet Tablets. It works great! A truly portable JA2! Here's the announcement thread at ITT: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=16138 I bought a N800 about 9 months ago, and it's, IMO, the best handheld, internet device available. They've since released the N810 which adds some new hardware features, but is otherwise the same. I was hoping that someone would compile Stracciatella for the devices, since they run a variant of Debian Linux. FYI, to play the game on an N800 requires a bluetooth keyboard, since the on-screen keyboard is currently unsupported by Stacciatella. I bought one for $30 on Amazon.com a couple of months ago. The N810 has a built-in, hardware keyboard that works fine for the game.
  4. I picked this up. It's a great-looking game, and the gameplay seems tight, so far. Good stuff!
  5. Just to throw in my $.02. Weird Worlds is an awesome coffee-break game.
  6. I've got Front Mission for the DS, and it's good. The graphics aren't impressive in the least, but the gameplay is tight. I got hooked on the series when FM3 came out for PSX. I hope we see an English language release of FM 2089 that's been announced for the DS in Japan. I do plan on picking up the Warhammer tactics game for DS. THQ has really done well with that license, in general. I wish they'd show some DS specific screenshots or videos. Since it looks a little better on the PSP, it seems that they're only using the PSP graphics in their marketing. Annoying, but not a big deal. Strategy First had announced Jagged Alliance DS, along with a Warlords and a Disciples game for DS, but they've all been "unofficially" canned. They are all three canceled, AFAIK, which is a shame, as the DS is a platform where those types of strategy games really shine, IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt I am. The small company they'd chosen to handle all three of those games just wasn't capable of completing the projects to SF's expectations, from what I can tell. I don't have anything nice to say about Strategy First, in general. They churn out some of the worst garbage, and the few really good properties they have, they can't seem to manage in any constructive way. That's why they're in trouble financially, IMO. I'll forgive them if I can just have my JA3. Disciples 3 is looking sharp, too. If they can successfully market those two, they should be back in decent fiscal shape, I think.
  7. Yeah, I've got the GBA game. It's one of the few GBA games I still play. I'd just like a DS version that makes use of the DS's touch screen and wifi. For that matter, why doesn't THQ do a quick and dirty port of the first two X-Com games, to DS? That would be sweet, too. Seems like money in the bank, but what do I know? It'd be nice if they were busy collaborating with Irrational on the full-fledged sequel. It's a shame we probably won't ever see a Jagged Alliance DS, but that's another topic.
  8. Hopefully, they're working on Rebelstar DS. I wish, at least.
  9. I'm sure it would show up here as soon as it was announced. I'm hoping that rumor about Irrational Games is true. I just hope it's not a Fallout 3 type situation where the new game has zero regard for the gameplay of the originals. Fallout 3 makes baby jeebus cry.
  10. I picked up Front Mission for DS, and it's cool. SRPG mecha goodness. I'm hoping they bring the newly announced Front Mission 2089 to the U.S. I just finished Luminous Arc for DS. It's your typical SRPG from Atlus. The story was lame, but the gameplay was tight.
  11. I was 16 the first time I played it, in '96.
  12. Ugh, that's not cool. Well, I guess I am lucky in a way. I've only discovered the Silent Storm series within the last year, so they're still pretty new to me. I'll be patiently playing them until then, I guess.
