iirc, Federation vs. Zeon pre-dates Encounters in Space. I don't think that's the case with the other two games you were disappointed in, although it's my understanding that Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam is basically the same game as Fed v. Zeon with updated mobile suits. Also, I may be wrong, but I think different companies were involved. Capcom was actually the brains behind the versus games, and I don't think that's the case with the others you listed (I could be wrong as it's been a while since I played any of them). Mind you, I think most of the comments I've heard have suggested that people generally tend to prefer Fed v. Zeon the most, particularly over Journey to Jaburo. As for MS Saga, it's new but isn't exactly what I'd call a good product at this point. A pre-teen who can read would probably get the most enjoyment out of it as the obvious plot short-comings wouldn't be an issue. And while it's possible that things get better later in the game (I can't pick it up again until at least Friday due to my schedule), you have to get people to actually want to play that far into the game to begin with (kind of like SEED, I suppose one could say). junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
