How do you people accumulate so many posts!?  I feel very insignificant.  Of course, I do in comparison to most people...

I feel small and insignificant.  80 posts ;_; (81 posts now :D)  But then again I've only been around since November so most people have a head start on me.  Besides that, I have much homework and other stuff to do so I don't have time to read posts all day.  But wow, 5000 posts...  That's incredible.  That's like 2 per day....  which doesn't seem like all that much in a grand perspective.  Maybe I'll be about half that far by 2014...

Text adventure games tell you which direction you're going. But since they don't actually have moving graphics (or in most cases graphics at all), I think the point is moot.

What do you mean no moving graphics (or no graphics)?!  I've seen several text adventures and all of them had graphics.  Famicom Detective Club II actually had quite good graphics (the SNES one, that is.)  That game owns.  Also, Radical Dreamers had graphics, and so did FDC I and that other Nintendo text adventure that I can't think of the name of...  I think text adventures should be considered 2D

In other news, Virtual Boy is indeed 3D. But only Red Alarm really takes advantage of actual 3D polygonal gameplay, and it isn't exactly quality.
I'm debating whether ViewMaster-style 3D sprite-based games qualify as being in 3D. I guess they do give depth perception, so that's something.

I guess it depends on your idea of quality, but I don't think they're all that bad.  They get the point across.  The rest of the VB games are still 3D, but they're more of a "flat" 3D.

Alright, I have to admit it.  The voice acting would be great.  I just hope they get decent writers.

So playing as Mario saving someone's life is just a game?  I HATE timed levels on all games.

An LoZ simulator would ROCK.

Why do people like OoT so much?  I'm just curious because I never thought that much of it. I'm an LttP fan.

I am now officially convinced that the next Mario game should have full-blown voice acting. :D

I'm not sure about that.  Mario doesn't talk all that much because of the same reason that Link doesn't talk all that much:  Miyamoto doesn't want to be putting words into the players mouths.  I don't think the world is ready for full blown voice acting.

Oh THAT DK'94.  I like that game.  I've just never heard it called that.

And I figured Picross went in the "else" category, but I had to say it anyway.

Not a lot of Game Boy games are good.
Most of the Mega Man GB games are good. Tetris is good. Not much else. Super Mario Land is decent enough. DK'94, I guess.

You DARE insult the awesomeness of Mario's Picross?!

And there's no such thing as DK'94.  Related phrases are Windows 95 or DK64.  Unless 94 is just one I've never heard of. (I don't know how that six got turned upside-down)

Oh yeah, and the Virtual Boy was in the '90s.  Virtual Boy pwns.

Battletoads is VERY difficult.  Fun though...  It's kinda one of those cult games that's so bad that it's good.  Like the Spartan X series.

Naw, that guy doesn't have feathers.  Anyway, wow, I didn't realize how young everyone here was.  I'm from '91.

The thing that I was most upset about in the '90s was when they took Disney Afternoons off the air.  That and Magic School Bus (this was when I was young).  The '90s only rocked because they had Mega Man 4 and the SNES in them.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH SPONGEBOB?

Hmm... I feel like I haven't been here too long (probably 'cuz I haven't) but I remember I must've found TMK somewhen around 2001, because I don't remember the old page at all......  Of course I could be wrong.  My most vivid memory of this place is the old 'Mario through the ages' intro page. Anyway, I think I must've been somewhere around 10 years old, and I think I must've googled something and wound up coming here.  I've been hanging around the site for years, but just haven't joined the FF until recently.

......Oh yeah, my logged in time is a completely honest 15 hours 38 minutes.  Like I said, I haven't been here long.

Huh, I didn't know Luigi wore striped socks.  That interview with Martinet was interesting.

......And yet I STILL hate the SMA voiceovers.

Okay, this is probably one of the few chances I get to make a good name for the Virtual Boy.  THAT is quality 3D gaming.  Other than that, I think both 2D and 3D have their ups and downs, although I'd probably take a good 2D game over a bad 3D one.....  It all just depends on what the game is whether 2D or 3D is better.
