No idea what that means, translation please?
Well. The demo comes in 2 flavours. Unlimited for those with 600 coins. And limited to 30 tries for everyone else.
It's incredibly Orwellian antics from Nintendo.
p.s I've decided you were allowed at one stage, but are now not allowed to have chips for tea tonight.*
*example of Microsoft and Apple. You can have chips if you wish, for your tea tonight. With my blessing.

It says in the article:
"However, there's a bit of a catch. Those getting access to the demo today can play it as much as they want. Those looking to play the public demo that's getting released next week will only be able to open the game a total of 30 times. Yes, it's a demo; yes, that's going to be a lot of heartbreak for Super Smash Bros. junkies."
I'm just bitter as I receive their emails and I never got sent one.
:pac: 0 -

Indeed 'ray casting' is super - but it isn't Doom and nor is it called Doom 0 -

Then there's the 3DO port.... Christ.
Then you have the SNES port, now from what I remembered that wasn't all the best. Saturn version better than that I guess?0 -

Those games were flat untextured polygons or wireframes. It's still a programming feat to get them working but when you go to scaling and distorting graphic tiles like in a doom engine you usually need dedicated silicon for the matrix calculations involved to speed it up. The SNES had a 16 bit version of the C64 CPU yet still needed a dedicated matrix processor for mode 7. Pretty sure the C64 and speccy games are using pseudo calculations to approximate it but it's still very impressive.
I'm pretty sure there was a game on the Atari 8-bit released in the 90's that had an engine similar to Wolfenstein. Retrogamer magazine showcased it a while ago so there were Doom/Wolf3D type games on the 8-bits technically.

For what it was the SNES version is very impressive. I'd actually say the Saturn and 3DO versions are worse. The SNES version cut some corners but it was at least playable unlike those two.

Was it Alien Versus Predator?
Nope that was on the Lynx and was never released, which was the first console to have silicon dedicated to matrix calculations so it could do scaling and rotation effects easily. I'll have to look up the Atari game, it was really impressive from what I remember from a youtube video.

Anyone here playing the mobile/GPS AR game Ingress? Started it yesterday and am wondering why I haven't heard about it before.
Visually it's really reminiscent of Syndicate Wars. It's been getting me out walking on my lunch breaks and I went on a long walk yesterday evening. Basically turned walking into a videogame, which can't be a bad thing 0 -

Yes I've been playing it since it was in beta.
Haven't been playing much of it lately but it's good. I'm a level 8 which used to be the highest level you could get but not anymore.
Resistance or Enlightened?
*edit*
Never mind I found you... you resistance scum! :P0 -

Resistance. Was too Terminator-esque to ignore
Did it take you long to level your character up to 8? I was pretty shocked when I saw the level of AP needed to go up levels.
I don't take it half as seriously as some of the players on the G+ groups so it took me a while... almost a year or so.0 -

I think customs are taking me for a ride. I've something to collect with a 30 euro customs charge but I only paid 45 for it. Anyone know what to do if overcharged by customs?
Also never getting my ebay stuff sent to Sligo, this is the second time they got me for customs.

I'm now a cool month waiting for a DS game to arrive from the States.
I contacted the seller and they assure me it was sent.
He suggested it might be caught in customs.
Customs, for a game worth a tenner.
I'll give them a little more time before beginning the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
N+ , who knew it would e this much trouble?
Maybe that's why it was a US only release on the handheld?
Had something from Lukie Games a while ago take 2 months to arrive. The stuff I ordered from him a week after turned up well before it.
