x men, and there's a whole ton of x men, so when you compare it to shows

Well I'm trying out Adom. I must admit my ability to see coloured text is

Hi Thomas,
I never saw any of the black and white video games. Most all video games that I ever
played were on my Atari 2600 and Atari 800 XL. And on those probably the best video
was like Donkey Kong, Popeye and Star Wars. Which were only a tiny bit better than
the graphics in games like S

Hi Ron.
The problem I found with Nethack was one of time.
It took so long to determine A, where my character was in relation to the
environment, B, what all the objects around me were, and C, what I could
then do about them, that the game just took far long to play, especially
when i'd been a
Hi Dark
In the cases of both games they can tend to take a great deal of patience
to play as it certainly isn't exactly fast paced.
A coordinate system wouldn't be that bad at all to tell the truth. What I

Hi Ron.
I must confess, if I couldn't use my vision to actually see where my
character was in relation to at least some close objects such as walls and
monsters I doubt I'd have the patience, and I must confess one thing that
drew me to Adom over nethack is that while I certainly can't see the

I live in Canada, but I never really got into DC comics, so that's the real

Marvel Nemesis was a pretty good game... and actually, it was more or less
pretty accessible, assuming you could get past the glitch in the ps2 version
where in the first stage nothing actually appears. Enemies, that is.

Are these games a console or PC? I'd be interested in taking a look if it

Seriously though, all you really have to do is input the name of a marvel

I never thought of doing the Wiki thing on them. Trouble is there you
need to know the name first where as the other would provide the names and
all such. Even now there are some I am not all that familiar with so this

Is true you would have to know the names. But wiki tends to have lists as

Hi Shadow Dragon,
If you can find the movie the Punisher that will basically give you a

of Rambo in a black body suit with a skull on the chest and a black mask
over his eyes. Unlike a lot of super heroes the Punisher doesn

Most of these games are console games, and are quite old. The marvel vs
games were all for the ps1 and ps2, that is, Marvel super heroes VS. Street
fighters, marvel vs. Capcom, were both for the ps1. Marvel VS Capcom 2 was
the only one for ps2, xbox and dreamcast.

They certainly did infinite crisis well. I have to say one of my favorite

into another omac. That and when aquaman rams his spear through king shark.
