Oh I forgot about Viewtiful Joe!  That is such a cool looking game.  As for the
zelda titles, and mario titles, the old ones look/run perfect on my pc with ROMs
and Emulators.  Keep the pc, buy a controller and download the ROMs off
KazaaLite, it's the best money i never spent.  I have over 800 nes games that
fit on 1 cdr.  Ok i'm done with the video game debate.  Anybody want to buy a
3DO and 40ish games, dirt cheap?
