Heh. Wanna feel real old? 1-The NES had a pallete of 16 colors, but could only display 8 of them on screen at a time 2-The Atari 2600 could only have 4 colors on screen of a pallete of 16 3-And the original Atari (yes i have one) only had 4 colors period. I bet your young friend would have a damn hard time with that...Im sure the concept of "2D side scroller" would be totally lost on his whole generation. I had to wait 15 years for 3D games! Kids these days have no clue how good they got it...they grow up with G4's and I can still remember when the Mac II came out... -Joshuha (And I'm only 21...) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
