Creature Shock is a totally remade Special Edition for PSX so don't
flame what you don't know.  Journeyman Project is a special Director's
Cut which cannot even compare to the PC version.  If you have Buried
in Time you can see a QuickTime Movie of the PSX version that will
blow you away.  Descent was totally overhauled for PSX and looks tons
better than the PC version - even looks better than Descent II and
Interplay is working on a PSX port for Descent II which will
undoubtable make the PC version pale in comparison. 

My control with the gamepad is just fine thank you - I have something
called manual-dexterity - apparently something you lack.  Modem
Play....level editing.....hmmm...got me there but then who really
cares....

As I recall the PSX -> PC ports so far do not have modem play - ONLY
shitty link-up cable support - yeah right!   My same friends who will
lug their TV and PSX over to my house are just liable to haul their PC
setup over too.   Level Editing - big deal - I'm usually burned out on
a game by the time I finish the built-in levels.  Why prolong the
agony when I can move on to something bigger and better.

My original post was only warning consumers about PSX ports to PC and
informing them of some cool upcoming titles for the PSX.  Speaking of
cool upcoming titles - DUKE Nukem 3D is officially announced as a PSX
conversion of late 96/early 97 release.  If the PSX version is as good
as the PSX DOOM version then it should crush the PC version.

I'm not cutting down the PC or PC Games - I have over 700 PC games
including 220+ CDROM titles.  I only have 18 PSX games - the numbers
speak for themselves.
