I'm hoping that this friggin' email actually goes through unencrypted this 
time.  I guess AOL has changed the mail client recentely as I never had a 
problem before.  And I'm sorry for trying to send it so many times and it not 
getting through.

It is a shame to hear that you don't play your Duo anymore.  They may not be 
set up all at the same time, but all of my systems still get equal play.  As 
far as I am concerned, a good game will always be a good game regardless of 
how far technology has changed and how much better graphics may have changed. 
 While the PS2 may blow away the Duo from a technology standpoint, every year 
I'll replay Ys Book I and II, Dracula X as well as Chrono Trigger for the 
SNES.  In fact, most new games don't grab ahold of me the way the 16-bit 
games did.  There was a certain magic that existed back then that (for me at 
least) I can't find too often these days.  In fact, the last couple of games 
that I can think of that really blew me away were Gitaroo Man and Ico, both 
too amazing games.  I just got Metroid Prime for Christmas, lets hope that 
the game is as good as Super Metroid (another one of those magical 16-bit 
games).  I want to hear some replies, lets get this list active again!
