Conker's Bad Fur day is a GREAT game. And another Rare game called Jetforce
Gemini looks to have great promise, though I have only played the first
level. You can't go wrong with the Zelda games either.

Maybe because I am tired, but that doesn't make sense. The reason I
don't go for a ps/2 is because I don't trust the hardware. There as
several good games, a few of which are Sony exclusives, but as I
previously posted, I have concerns about the longevity of the hardware.

JT, the answer to your problem is a simple one: purchase your PS2
at BEST BUY - and get the "warranty" they offer. If ANYTHING goes wrong
with your PS2, you just take it back to the store and they give you a
brand new one, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, NO HASSLES. I can vouch for them.
In fact, I purchased mine in late 2001 when it was still $299. By
the time I had problems with it reading DVD's (it was my only DVD
player for a long time), the price had dropped to $199 - SO... the way
they have it set up is that they give you a REFUND for your system, and
then charge you for a NEW one. That meant that I got $100 store credit,
AND a brand new playstation 2(which still works flawlessly all these
years later).
In fact, I don't think I'd ever buy a game system anyplace else but
Best Buy - you have TRUE PEACE OF MIND with that warranty let me tell
ya........

So, to protect myself from Sony's willfully malignant engineering, I
need to spend more money up front?
Let's see, I have 61 computers, 58 game consoles, 12 handheld systems,
18 add-on systems (this is things line Sega CD and the 2600 adapters to
my 5200 and CV, and 31 pong clones. I got all my systems except my
first Sony psx, my SNES and my very first game, my O^2, used. The O^2
and spx were Christmas gifts, and the SNES I got the first Christmas it
was out for $108 due to a fluke local price war. But to protect me long
term, I need to buy a ps/2 new so that I can in turn give Best Buy more
money?
And then this warranty runs out in two years, but with so many consoles,
I don't use it enough to kill it for three years, by which time the p3
will be out and Sony won't repair dead ps/2's anymore anyway.
As a collector, I see this as a lose-lose scenario. I'll wait for the
ps/2 II to prove its reliability before I consider it, and then I will
acquire a working ps/2 Mk. I and - like my Sega CD1 - I will have it but
use the newer model for practical purposes.

Space Boss and I agree about as often as Nintendo releases e-Reader
cards, but in this case, I have to agree. Although, in my case, I do
my shopping at Circuit City. The PS2 has such a poor track record that
I didn't think twice about getting the CityAdvantage plan on it. A
little more money, but it's worth it to not have to depend on Sony's
support. I went down that path once, and I will never again purchase a
Sony product without some form of vendor coverage. Even something as
piddly as a Playstation.

I assumed it was obvious, especially with the 'Kasumi Ninja is the best
fighting game ever' bits, but alas.. I guess it wasn't.
No, Mace wasn't very good either.

ANY system with MOVEABLE PARTS and a laser is going to break down
eventually. It's the nature of the beast. Stop making excuses, if you
don't want a PS2, then you don't want one. That's OK.

Ah, well that has more to do with how my hobby is currently taking me.
I have a nice, big basement, and am slowing working towards the video
playground. There is a lard storage room, where I will install
compacted collection shelves. These are shelves on tracks that can
slide left and right to maximize space efficiency by only having one row
at a time wide enough to walk in.
In the main room, the front half will have two rows of couch seating and
a custom coffee table to set up game consoles on, and the back half will
be arranged for the computers. Many dups (most entries in the Atari
8-bit family, the C=64 family, the Apple ][ family, etc) will be
displayed on decorative shelves, as will up to three arcade games (one
of which is a sit down Starrider LVD game from Williams).
The other half of the basement is the utility room that will also be
fixed up as a second kitchen (I love to cook also).
BTW: this house is not a ranch style. That was one mandate when I was
house shopping, no ranches. I needed the space.

Ranch homes have all the bedrooms on the same floor as the living room
kitchen and dinette/dining room. Split level ranches have the bedrooms
up a half flight (6 to 8 foot rise) from the other rooms.
Ranches can be on a slab (no basement) or a sunken foundation (which
doesn't necessarily mean you have a basement).
My house is a 1 1/2 story, meaning that upstairs bedrooms are built into
the house's roof/attic area. In this case, the upstairs was built for
two rooms, not that rooms were squeezed into the attic area.
