    That's what this is. Games that aren't covered by the other forums; which covers console games as well. There certainly isn't enough traffic here to warrant splitting off console stuff into a seperate forum, imo.

    Indeed and then there's the fact that if there was a PS2 board then the Dreamcast people would want one, then the Nintendo 64 and before you know it there's a board for the Atari VCS.

    well it just doesnt seem like a non-PC games board since there's practically zero posts about console games.

    so just call it Console Games or something specific enough to get the right traffic but not enough to warrant individual boards. Anyway, your agrument is the same as the PC games - they COULD have a Day of the Tentacle board but they don't do they?

    Er, there's tons of console games threads on this forum. If you want more of them, start some!

    Perhaps the seeming lack of console games threads is because people here don't play console games as much as they do PC games?

    True, or well we play em but don't get into them as much. I think most people are computer heads tending towards games, not games only people. Consoles are good, but its not the same not having things to tinker with, the net to find crap with etc. A good console game is class - but while I'm playing one I'm thinking, wonder whos on irc. Only time I really latch onto a console game is when I'm home with no net access and plenty of time.

    Super Sprint over TCP/IP, now that would rock, or Gauntlet II, those big player type games, NBA Jam or the like.
