What I'm surprised at is the *longevity* of the platform. I saw my first
Playstation in '95, and finally gave up and bought my own (heh) about three
months ago. TONS of games are still being actively developed for the
platform (its still a major porting candidate), and I dont see it dying
anytime soon.
What I need, tho, are just some good old-fashioned "blow stuff up" games.
I'd kill for a port of Ikari Warriors with that 8-position twistable
controller/joystick...
