Yeah, there was a Zelda game on it.  I had it.  I played it for about 5 minutes, and didn't touch it.  I still have it.

The Legend of Zelda: The Faces of Evil.

Zelda got kidnapped, I believe though.... I dunno if you could play as Zelda, beacuse as I said, I couldn't play it with all its HORRIBLE graphics, and lame story.

and to make things worse...:rofl:

whoooaa..link look's f(*&*ing horrible... can't tell if he is supposed to be a guy or a girl..huge bangs. he he. bleh. :pinch:

If you have a scanner or perhaps a digital camera could you post that picture?

Haven't checked this thread out in a while, but saw your request today and here it is, it was a small picture in the mag but you can see the familiar early PlayStation logo on the unit, along with a familiar controller...

The article confirms that the working name for the unit was "PlayStation", and it was made by Sony employee Ken Kutaragi who also co-developed the SPC700 audio processor in the SNES. Kutaragi found out on his way to Nintendo HQ on the 29th of May 1991 that the big N had gotten cold feet and withdrawn from the project. The name PlayStation, according to Kutaragi, was chosen by himself because "a computer is a WorkStation, then of course a console has to be a PlayStation."

A quick rundown of the retro articles in the magazine (keep in mind, this is Sweden's biggest gamer's magazine!):

Milestones: A 10 page timeline of gaming history from Spacewar to XBox (10 pages)

Graphic Evolution: The evolution of games in images (2 pages)

Spacewar: The world's first computer game (5 pages)

Atari: The American Dream (5 pages)

Cultural Dusk: Where are the games going? (7 pages)

Mega Man: Life as a robot (7 pages)

Wonder Boy: A forgotten video game hero (7 pages)

Collections: 10 lessons in gaming history (2 pages)

Aside from this, that issue featured a CD with SID remixes compiled by C64Audio.com (the "Back in Time" team).

Other: XBOX

Its plays games from every last gen console (except dreamcast)... It does so many things and has the best online options out of any consoles which is what matters imho (single player games are almost all crap)

Btw this poll is stupid, the options are crap.

The only reason the Xbox is any good is because it emulates, you are right, but that's because it's basically a freak'n PC.

I still say PC is the best for gaming.. but since I wanted to choose a console (for the sake of this poll) I chose SNES.. ah the wonderful memories of all those hours spent in front of my TV with 16bit graphics...

Thanks for that information. It had me interested in learning about it. :)

And thanks to all who voted. I would've made the options better if I would've known this topic was going to get as big as it did. This was my first "hot topic". I even got an admin to post, I must've done something right. :laugh: :rofl:

The original Nintendo is the mother, father, grandaddy of ALL. The game console scene was pretty pathetic up until NES blew the market wide open.

True. I can highly agree with that. Until than, i was almsot always playing my old Atari 2600. My NES still works to this day. I'm surprised.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
