 I thought, you recommended it?

oh wait, my bad, you said, SF assault.... I guess I'll get that instead then.


SSBM is a great game. took me almost a week to get all the characters/stages. Just gotta finish all-star mode now with all the characters...

Well the main reason why they stuck with it was because people have always, and will always like Mario. (not 100%, but that's the reason).

that's true. come to think of it, I didn't really give a *censored* about the story. In fact. having a story that isn't so engaging can be a relief sometimes, doesn't make you think too much.

It's for everyone to play, even the locally-developed children.

    how do you "accidentally" do that?

    I used to do that with my n64 SSB every once in a while. 3 single player games later and a break the targets stage later and I have them all back again.  :)

      and stumbled my way like a drunkard into the data part in settings.

      talk about "woops!"

      oh and I didn't see it as badgering. It's a good thing you mentioned it, actually, otherwise I would have gotten adventures.

      So, my next ebay spree will probably land me Wind Waker,Assault, metroid prime, and.. I think theres a mario kart on GC too, but I forget it's name. whatever it was I'm getting it too :)

      although I don't think I'd call the GC an "old" game console. IMO even n64 is pushing the definition of "old" !

      Mario Kart DoubleDash is on GameCube...

      I was once at a sleepover (quite a few years ago) and stayed up until 6 (or later, 6:00 AM was when I checked the clock before falling asleep) in the morning playing SSB Training Mode then fell asleep playing...


      And you spelled Hail wrong...

      That may be BC, I'm a poet and did not no it... Sorry. But the ZX was the beginning of games programming where you, me, her and him could design and write our own games and people did. It was the birth of consumer gaming and started here in jolly old England! Even the web was created by an English man at CERN, where would we be to today without the plucky Brits. Lol

      erm- the first affordable programmable computer was the SINCLAIR ZX80. It was designed a brit though.

      And it took the efforts of far more then a single person, or even the people in a single country, to make the web what it is today. Although I must note that Al Gore was not one of them.  ;D

      I'm sorry BC but the internet was created by one man (English) at (CERN) to establish a way of multiple computers to talk to each other in a network. Hence the internet was born only because CERN gave it up because it was very primitive and unneccesary to there needs today.
