Heck, you need to be 21, go 7/24 without sleep and have a foot inside an alternate universe where days are 38 hours or something. Since gameplay doesn't sell anymore, and the latest games cost more to make than a decent movie, my bet is on low-end games for masses, whether it's mobile phones, set-top boxes, kitchen fridges, etc. -Frode -- ^ Frode Tenneb� | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ | Ericsson AS | Isebakkeveien 49 | | N-1788 Halden | Phone: +47 45 24 99 39 | | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer; |
