Yes that is what Sega did here in germany,
low bandwidth (28k) and more than double the costs

Just some clarification on New World: Just how different are the graphics? I just thought they had a more advanced tileset, similar to the one Konidias made, but Stefan's making it out to be a lot more....

If my scanner was working, I would scan the entire essay about how Playstation ripped off Nintendo.
I'm talking about the console itself. The Super Famicom CD CONSOLE looks almost identical to the Super NES/Famicom, except that it's missing the console port. However, PlayStation, even in the early development models, looked totally different from the Super Nintendo. The only thing I can see that PlayStation ripped off of Nintendo is controller design, and that's vague.

GameCube would be a good idea, or X-Box, because they're both new systems(fresh out of the business world), and they are good systems.
Yes, but:
A. Dreamcast is much easier to port code to, and much easier to develop for.
B. You don't have to pay anything to develop Dreamcast stuff
C. It would simply be an alternative way to play Graal, available as a free download.
D. Many Graalians own Dreamcasts.

ok, now that is complete BULL because I heard on the news that DreamCast announced that they stopped making consoles due to the fact that they were going broke AGAIN.
They still make games, yes, but not consoles.
You seem to disagree with whatever I have to say...grrr...

You're correct there. They stopped making consoles. They did not stop selling. Selling and making are two entirely different things, Jerom.

While you're on that topic...Stefan, could we have a place in the graphics library where we can submitt tiles?

No, they aren't making anymore consoles. But what do they do with the thousands of DreamCasts still sitting in the warehouses, unsold? Sell them, of course.

Why not using the graphics forum?

Good point...heh. :)
It's just that the heads, swords, shields, bomies, and others have their own submission section, and the tileset is important to Graal just like those which I listed are.
But what if I want to submitt tiles straight to GraalOnline for them to be made a part of pics1.png?

Not to mension Graal is becomming very popular. I can't wait till NW comes out.
Playstation was created because Sony was working with nintendo to create SNES CD but it didn't work out, so Sony used that technology they created for their own console.

Thats pretty much the basic details of the story.

Uh? They're not dead. They're doing quite succesfully as a third party developer...

Sega isn't a very good business, but they usually come up with great consoles and games.
They can't seem to manage their money in order to keep them going.
Now watch in like 3 years they will make Reality 1.01

I was watching TV a few weeks ago and saw something about Sega on electric playground. They said they have a partnership or major deal with very single system in the gaming world, they also said that when Game Cube comes out that Sonic will be available as one of the games to play for that system (no lies, it's the truth), but I bet you Sega will get bought out or something before that. If it's wasn't for their Phantasy Star game thing they would have been gone a while ago

Not true again. Sega is the fourth most powerful game developer in the industry. They are making games for every system, and they have numerous high-end contracts for equally high-end games. They won't be bought out any time soon. Not to mention, they're still making money(and quite a bit of it, though not as much as they wanted) off of the Dreamcast...

About Phantasy Star Online...
Sega is selling Nintendo PSO1/PSO2 for GameCube, heh....
You will also be able to play offline with friends(offline multiplayer) on split screens.

No it sounds very real actually, I could imagine that. And the stupidest thing that Nintendo ever made was StarCraft 64. You play against someone else is like playing with hacks on, no element of surprise, nothing

"Ohhh! I see your going to rush me. Let me prepare for that"
"Ohh, making carriers eh? I'll just get some ghosts and goliaths"

I remember playing that, I never did get very far because I had borrowed it from a friend.
I liked that game.

blast corps was pretty good, but i think they could have done way better with it...

They can have done better by not creating it

Sega is a powerful player in the developer/publisher arena now. In fact, they could emerge the most influential in the industry.
