Why Playstation Sucks, And Why It Will Never Defeat The Nintendo 64
Packers Fan
Nintendo's brand name, and killer titles. Dorks like Jody McLean have
to continually flame the Nintendo groups in order to give themselves
some sense of security about their failing system. No wonder that
game enthusiasts are stereotyped as "geeks" in the media.

It seems that you are doing the same thing here in the Sony groups

Actually you're helping out trolls by cross posting to both Nintendo &
Sony newsgroups.

Whaaaaa ? Normal people would never sell their Playstation to buy a N64.
I own a Nintendo 64 & I'm one of the few that are willing to admit that
it's been disappointing, save for a couple of excellent games. Maybe
Nintendo's failure with the Virtual boy is not their last ??? Time will
tell.
Maybe some mass psychological help is needed for a lot of people
> here.
Probably so but you'd be in that line too. Your very topic proves you
are out of reality, since it most definitely is not a fact that the
Playstation is going down. True, it will go down eventually but that can
be said of every game system ever invented.
Flame Thrower
hey FUDGE Packer fan, how old are you?
I'm getting tired of all this shit you're posting about how the n64 is
better. Who the fuck are you kidding?
You're just like every other molested troll in
alt.games.video.nintendo-64, if your mommy or daddy didn't buy you a game
system, you wouldn't have anything to play with except yourself and
probably your friends' little friend.
To all the other molested trolls that talk shit about the PSX in nintendo
newsgroups, big deal about the games you have coming up in 1998. I'll bet
75% to 90% of them will be delayed till 1999.
Fuck Zelda64, M64-2, Banju Kazu whatever the fuck it is (is that what's so
attractive to the little kids, games with stupid names?), Yoshit Story,
Quest 64, Turok 2, F-Zero 64, and all those other 64 carts.
3 PSX games alone will bury every game n64 wants/hopes/prays to release in 98.
*Resident Evil 2 fuck all the RE clones, the original is always the best
*Metal Gear Solid will make everyone forget the limey named James Bond
(even all
the magazines are saying so and it's not even released yet)
*Parasite Eve
Here are some games you'll never EVER see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Final Fantasy Tactics
*Tekken 3
*Xenogears
*Saga Frontier
*Einhander
*Lunar: the Silver Star Story
*Tactics Ogre
*Samurai Showdown RPG
*Suikoden 2
*Rebus
*Tales of Destiny
*Diablo
*Breath of Fire 3
*Tomba
You can take your Diddy A Play and shove it. I bet all you molested trolls
don't even know who that is. It just proves my point that you are all
prepubescent fools!

And you think you're giving gamers a good name by posting your crap?
I'd like to know what intelligent N64 gamers think of you and your
idiotic posts.

Where do you get all this wonderful information?
I for one what to know where you got your facts to back up your words!
I haven't heard anyone being called a "geek" for playing video games! People
with computers yes, but not video games.
There's nothing wrong with either PSX or N64! The games for the systems may
need some work, but as far as systems go they are both pretty good machines!
You would know this if you would for once in your life pay attention and
stop harassing everyone!
You seem to be no better than the so-called trolls your crying about!
Maybe read your own posts and seen how meaningless your posts really are!
All we have seen from you is a lot of B.S.! Until you come clean no one will
take you seriously!

This is being crossposted. Packers Fan is trolling the Sony newsgroup and
trying to involve the whole of the Nintendo newsgroup because trolls feel
safety in numbers.

But it shouldn't have been cross-posted. It was off topic for
this newsgroup. By the way, just noticing now but am I the only
one(with a few exceptions) who can have a conversation without
cursing? It's really impressive to see the fine art of conversation
drop to 'Fuck You' 'Oh yeah, well fuck you' 'No fuck you'. It takes
alot of intelligence to create such intricate dialogue. Try not to
strain too much while posting, you might pop a blood vessel.

Why have I seen more flame wars than normal posts recently? Not only
here, but in the James Bond newsgroup, there is a N64 vs. PSX war.
These people are talking about game systems like religion. It's not
your honour, not your land, your freedom, your reputation, or your
family you are fighting so passionately about, it's a bunch of plastic
and silicon! This is to all the trolls who equate their game system
with their ego - GROW UP! Don't go trashing the other system if you
see something positive about the other system, and don't repond to
someone trashing your system, they just want to start a war. Both
systems rule, and as a N64 owner, I am glad that the PSX is doing
well, so the competition puts pressure on Nintendo to care about the
consumer - us! The PSX is the only reason N64 prices have come down,
and the N64 is the only reason PSX prices have come down. [I mean
software prices, although hardware should arrive shortly] There was a
bit here about game players being stereotyped as "nerds." Don't let
the trolls who fit this image to a T speak for the rest of us. Just
ignore them.

Come on mate!.... just because of a technological advancement (it
happens all the time you know.... in this industry) the playstation
has been superceded (in hardware capability anyway) by the N64......
nearly three years later...... now why does that mean that the
playstation sucks... its still holding its own very well which is
something of an achievement I think? why......? come on..... be
sensible.... there some superb games on the playstation that I keep
going back to....... its a great machine (and so for that matter is my
sega megadrive, we still play multiplayer sonic and columns on it), I
think the sentence I am looking for here is ...... erm, ..... erm,
......
"GROW UP"
Oh and in a couple of years time, another console will appear that
will be technologically better than the N64........ so does that mean
the N64 will suck too then?

Ah, ahem... I like playing my N64 as much as the next guy, but the PSX
has won the battle, the war, and everything else, point game and match.
PSX's worldwide share is around 85%, which is how things were for
Nintendo in the NES days of yore. In Japan, PSX pushes 90%; in the USA,
PSX software and systems outsold Nintendo 20 to 1 last Xmas season.
I even like my *Saturn* better than my Playstation, because the Saturn
versions of the Street Fighter games are superior, but one would have to
be an idiot wearing blinders to miss the utter dominance of the
Playstation right here and now.

Why is it that you see Nintendo trolls who start flaming the Sony
newsgroup, and who can't stand to hear anything postive about the Sony
Playstation? (I won't name names, but a certain individual with the

Well, it was a nerd who stereotyped us in the first place, and we're
dealing with him.
Don't let

While I agree that it would be better to ignore them, you gotta admit that
sometimes its just too damn much fun not too! Some people come on here
with rational, intelligent posts, which eventually get turned into
flame-wars by the many trolls that inhabit this NG. Other people come on
here with crazed psycho-babble which immediately starts a war. Either way,
you're gonna see a lot of fighting. There's not too much you can do about
it, but I admire you for speaking out, and setting an example.
Unfortunately, this post may create a flame-war (by no fault of your own),
thusly defeating its entire purpose! I've seen it happen. Anyway, happy
gaming all!

the IQ level in here is below sea level. I wish someone would start a

Why don't *you* do it? I agree with the premise, there are too many off-topic
and flame-bait posts, but the reason there isn't a moderated newsgroup is
because nobody has the time to do it. Wish all you like, it won't happen.

You are not a very good judge of character.
Would you rather see me post 'N64 sux' or something that is so irrational
that it is almost unreadable? At least I post things that should concern
every N64 owner. Whether these people wish to cover their ears and sing a
little tune is not my concern (you reading this, Packer Fan?). What *is* my
concern is how sugar-coated this newsgroup is. If you never argue about
anything, what's the point? You get into a state of boredom like the Sony
newsgroup; which is in a state of flatness in terms of content.

confused as to where one would post if they like BOTH systems! I mean, am
I the only one out there that has both systems? You people all have your
heads up each others asses so far you are too shallow to admit that both
systems have their plusses and downfalls. Trust me, if there was a
"perfect" system on the market, it would be the only one. Lighten up!! I
haven't seen intelligent conversation on these groups in months. Lets
look at the obvious now....
PS---- cheap (dropping to $99 in the upcoming month), huge game
selection, cheap games, wider support from companies for games, friendly
to the RPG enthusiast, etc....
N64---- superior games in quality, Zelda, family-oriented games, may also
have to drop to $99 to keep pace with Sony

here, here i couldnt agree more, but everyone knows that in usenet if some
IDIOTS - definition of idiots being 11-14 year old n64 owners - dont have
anything better to do than cross post to many groups saying the psx is crap
then they can unfortunately
everyone has there own favourite console, whether the choice is perceived
right or wrong by others
were it not for the playstation we wouldnt have as diverse a video game
market
the release of the n64 it bought some much needed (at the time) competition
to the market which made this video game market affordable
since the video game market is now so affordable (thanks to the n64) it is
very viable to own the playstation AND the n64, because lets all be honest
there are KILLER games for both and more choice for the
playstation......besides all this 'buying a system just because it is by
________' is really quite sad - i am sure that a lot of playstation owners
didnt buy the machine just because it was by sony (after all sony were
unknown in the games market), unlike a lot of n64 owners
the reason i bought the playstation was :
loads and loads of great affordable games
the reason i bought the n64 was
mario 64 (at the time - it bores me now)
promise of yoshis story - i loved yoshis island
not many games at all but most of the nintendo games that come out are great
i bought the playstation on the day of release because of the diverse games
available in japan and the promised games.........but i still looked at the
n64 when that came out, i only recently bought one because of the drop in
price and because of the games available..........however much i love it
though i do prefer the playstation because of the number of games available
and no argument in the world could prove me wrong on that

Its exactly how i feel.
Why do you have to own either a Psx or a N64??
I own both and i dont have to argue about wich systems the best.
Its just for fun, why cant everybody just chill out and enjoy their
games?? I read some postings by someone called "packersfan" (obviously
to afraid to use his real name and e-mail) and he (among others) are the
ones who make people think that Video gaming is just for kids.
I wish we all could get rid of those trolls...

Actually..if there's ONE universal truth to the internet, it's that you
DON'T want a moderated newsgroup. 100 idiots spewing crap in the NG is
far better than a moderated NG. Moderated NG's have inherent flaws in
them, and usually lots of messages that the average Sony/Nintendo/Whatever
group reader wouldn't mind reading, get un-posted. Not to mention, a post
to a moderated newsgroup takes a painfully longer than usual time to post
than a regular newsgroup. In any case, better that the masses be free to
post garbage, then have rigid and restrictive rules on what goes/what
doesn't.

It's understandable when you see posts that say, "PEOPLE WHO OWN
SYSTEM X ARE MORONS" that you feel that you must respond. My drama
teacher says that "arguing with trolls just makes them worse", so I
recommend that you post with game questions, or other intelligent
stuff, and just read the posts that are about something. You can tell
if a post is flame-bait by it's author and/or subject line. Don't
read it. That's what I do. If I see flames, they piss me off [thus
achieving their purpose] and it's a gut nature to respond. So I don't
read them in the first place. Anyway, Kev, I appreciate your posts
and thoughts on this thing.

Well, it looks like it's time to clear the air again.
You guys have to develop a little more global attitude about
platforms, games, etc. Platform systems are like all other constructs
in our society. They have a birth, slowly age, and then die. This
occurs to governments, political parties, corporations, operating
systems, virtually all of man's creations, whether conceptual or
physical.
If you create a timeline of platforms, you'll see that more have
already passed away then are in existence now. Where is the
ColecoVision today? What about the Commodore Amiga, or VIC-20 for that
matter? Anybody cutting new software for 3DO?
So, Nintendo64 owners have the edge in that their platform is the
youngest. This edge can be both good and bad, as young systems usually
have few wares. They'll catch up somewhat, as long as the cost to 3rd
party developers to create titles is kept manageable. And let's not
forget that this being such a new system, game designers haven't even
begun to wring the SGI graphics engine out.
PSX owners can rejoice in the large software catalog that they have,
and the deep discounting that is possible when media costs less than a
buck in quantity to produce. The PSX is three years old now, and has
established a strong presence in several genres.
Long after these systems have been eclipsed by newer platforms, people
will be playing Virtua Racing on their Sega Genesis, Donkey Kong
Country on their SNES, and yes, even M.U.L.E. on their Atari 800.

No, you're not. People that own both systems are still allowed to post
in the same threads as other people, but the catch is, we're liable to
receive flames from both sides. :-)

I only own a N64, I don't have much time for games, so that's why I
haven't considered buying a multiple systems, however, the PSX
definitely has it's advantages, and I'm glad it's doing well, because
competition benefits us. One post said it best, "Do you guys own
stock in Nintendo or Sony? You must, based on the wars I've seen."

heh. I sold my N64 and bought a Playstation cuz i was frustrated that there were
hardly any good N64 games out, and the ones that were out were 80% crap. so

figure supporting the N64, and more than 1 friend of mine has traded in

N64 but I won't begin to say which is better because I might just get
flamed by all those anti-flamers.

Actually, sales figures have supported the N64 ever since it was
released in the US.
Billy Newlin
We're talking about game systems and now you're knocking on
someone's name? Give me a break and please, PLEASE get a life. I
enjoy playing games. The system doesn't matter if the games are fun!
Someone a while back knocked on the TurboGrafx16 but I happened to
love Splatterhouse(I think that was it). I've also always enjoyed
mario games, especially the hidden levels on the all-stars game for
the SNES. But my all-time favorite video game would prolly be for the
Atari. They had some of the best games ever. Who cares about
graphics and sound and speed. It was FUN! So stop acting like this
is a matter of life and death. IT'S A GAME!!!
PS. I happen to be a Broncos fan and just for the record. I HOPE
THEY KICK THE SHIT OUT OF GREENBAY!!!

well........it was me who posted the above, the reason being that i dont
care about you or jody mcclean or jeff soberaj, as far as i have seen it was
YOU who crossposted to the playstation groups FIRST....
although i take exception to your reply, i am not a PSX MORON, i am a true
video games fan and in no way insulted nintendo in the above post, i
insulted YOU............
and i still stand by what i said, when i look at what you have
written....here are the subject lines of recent posts by him (out of
alt.games.video.sony-playstation.faqs) :
"Why Playstation Sucks, And Why It Will Never Defeat The Nintendo 64"
"It's a fact: Playstation is going down, Nintendo 64 reigns supreme!!!"
"JEFF SOBERAJ IS A NERD"
"All you Sony trash have is Tekken!"
"Jody McLean and Jeff Soberaj are a trolls with no lives"
"JODY MCLEAN IS A RECENT SEX CHANGE OPERATION PATIENT"
if that isnt trolling psx groups then i dont know what is.........from what
i have seen, the arguments AGAINST the n64 have mostly been true - ie not
enough games etc
EVEN AS AN N64 OWNER I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE
but also as a playstation owner (and an avid/experienced games player, who
has been playing video games since i was 6) i think that it is the better
machine, and i can come up with good arguments against anyone who says
otherwise
packers fan cant even come up with any believable arguments against what
people say, all he ever does is resort to mindless name-calling (as the
subject lines show)
unless he (or ANYONE) can come up with any decent arguments about WHY the
n64 is better than the playstation - and not just because it is by
nintendo - then could this thread end?

Now there's an interesting idea...maybe I could use it for my semester
programming project...what CD would produce trolls like Mark David and
Nobody's Perfect though? We need these special hidden flamers :)

I LOVE IT! :) Instead of having to play games you'd have to
argue with them a certain amount everyday :P And of course you'd have
to feed them SHIT! to keep 'em full of it!

The cheezier, the better the flamer you raise. Thus, Barry Manilow's
greatest hits, for example, would produce something near Packers Fan.

Wow. I mean... wow. More inspired words I have never heard. And
more intelligent phrasing I have rarely heard, at least in this

Nah, I really don't think it is worth it. Trolls are born, not
taught. I tried to teach my dog how to be a troll by showing her some
of Nobody's greatest hits, and she puked all over it. I think there
is a lesson in this for us all.

I like this... instead of feeding them and putting them to bed, you
have a little button for different company slogans and curse words.
Every once in a while you hit the button for a curse word and it spews
a Packers Fan/AOL trash flame, and if you hit the company line button
it spews Nobody style flames! The best part is that they are totally
disposable and biodegradable, since they are made of shit! Just toss
them down the loo and FLUSH! In fact, we might be on to a serious
money making plan, since people could easily get addicted to flushing
Mark David and the like down the crapper! I can see it now...
"Hey, I'd like to buy 13 more Mark David Trollagotchis!"
"That puts you over 100 for this week alone!"
"Well, man, I just ya know, wanna flush him a few more time... just
one more time! Look at my hands, man! I'm OK, just hand over the
Trollagotchi!"

There are a lot of us asking the same as you as to why there is this "dumb
Attitude" towards the many game systems.
I don't think these people realize that they are showing off their own
stupidity rather than proving any valid points!
I started playing because I enjoyed the games not because I liked one system
over the other!
Sooner these people start enjoying themselves the sooner the lame posts will
stop!
Either that or we might get lucky and they'll come to their senses!

yeah and when the sequels come out for the playstation (obviously with
exceptions they are better than the prequel, read this (taken from gamefan
online) :
"What with all this excitement about 32-bit/64-bit gaming, I decided to put
Nintendo under a hot, interrogation spot-light, and really test the quality
of the games compared to the older 16-bit versions."
"I recently purchased Yoshi’s Story (N64) and have been plodding along,
enjoying the phenomenal visuals and pleasant music, but I couldn’t help
thinking that something was missing. The old Mario-platforming gameplay just
didn’t seem the same.
So whilst out on a shopping spree with Shidoshi and Waka, I decided to look
over some of the older Super Famicom titles at a large video games retailer,
only to be confronted by Yoshi’s Island. Now then, this was a title I never
got round to buying, and although I am ashamed to admit it, I never actually
played it either! So I parted with $35 and got the Famicom version, and
trundled back to GFO."
"I dug out my S.Famicom (my favorite system, by the way!), and plugged it
in. Straight away I new I was in for something very special. The nostalgia
seared through my veins, as the cute music and graphics melted my nervous
system. How could the N64 version be so different? So inferior. So…. Argh..
The 16-bit Yoshi’s Island was a magnificent triumph for game design, game
play and overall game enjoyment. I could not believe the difference in
excitement and pleasure that I experienced. If only the new, younger version
had half of the cool features of it’s older counterpart, I would have been
more than happy."
"Alas, is was not to be. I wish people wouldn’t get carried away with
renders, special effects, simplified game mechanics, etc. at the expense of
what could have been a truly great classic of our time. <sigh> Still, don’t
get me wrong, N64 Yoshi is still cool, but there is a lesson to be learnt
here. And that would be "new is not necessarily better".
PS - This is only a retro viewpoint merely stating that old games still rock
the house."
this is actually my view, as well as feeling the same about mario kart and
starfox and killer instinct and bomberman......
fair enough the graphics may be amazing on the new version but the gameplay
straggles, in fact the only good 'sequel' to a super nes game so far has
been mario 64

yeah i want it to be amazing too, but statiscally nintendo will make a
version that is no better than the snes version - if in doubt look above,
only 1 decent sequel to 4 not-so-good sequels

no, the megadrive sold more because it had like a four year start on
nintendo, the playstation had about a years start........and the video games
market isnt different to what it was then, i for one feel that the snes was
miles ahead of the megadrive......it did have less games but when it started
to get more popular more games got made for it.......although with the way
the video games market is now, little developers just CANT afford to make
games for the n64 unless it is going to be a massive hit (which cant be
guaranteed)

Look at my reasons and see why I think it sucks. I guess people are too
short-sighted to see reasons, just the end result.
I'll have you know I used to play both the SNES and

You played more games on Super Nintendo. Doesn't sound fair to me.
I played them evenly.

I'll give you a break if you have conclusive proof that you've played
both systems evenly. I have yet to find that proof.

Actually, the whole Trollagotchi idea had ME laughing, and that is
hard work. I'm a satirical writer, so I usually look down my nose at
any attempts at humor by the lesser mortals, but this thread IS
humerous.

MAybe he played MK for two houres, then Super Mario World for an hour
and Zelda 3 for an hour! Come on, get with the picture, this whole

You really have a good point. Sequals are what keeps the business

have an original idea. And hey, there are a lot of ideas that need to

That is total baseless assumption. When the game is released, we will
all get to judge for ourselves. Personally, though, Zelda games have
always been just "good" to me, not especially awesome, though Zelda64
will be a departure from the general style of Zelda games, so only
time will tell. Just hope it has moire substance than Mario64 did...
I enver got why people liked that so much...

No, I think the Genesis was better than the SNES because it had a
sports lineup to die for and the faster processor allowed for
animation much more fluid than the SNES could dream of. To me, the
Mario games and Square RPG's were what the SNES had over the Genny,
but that is not enough to compete in my mind. The Gennywas and still
is one of my top systems of all time(right behind the Atari VCS and
the NES.)
