Not to mention the fact that Duke runs really well in 800x600 mode (on 
a P133 or P166). I'd like to see a Play-station do that.

I can't believe people are so brainwashed by slick PSX adverts. The 
games (all of them) on the PSX are so _shallow_ in their concepts and 
ideas that their replay value, for anyone with a brain, is virtually 
nil.

I recently tried Assault Rigs on the PC -- while it looked nice, sounded 
nice, etc., the conept behind it was so silly, so pointless (collect the 
jewels before you get blown up) it amounts to nothing more than a VR 
version of Pac Man. Who needs that?
