Whoever said SA2:B doesn't suck... you rule, Sonic Adventure is freakin awesome! I love the PC version... but the Dreamcast was easily the official home of it when you think about it.

Concerning the analog stick:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_stick

Atari was the first one with an analog stick, but Vectrex was the first with a centering one. Also, according to this article (keep in mind Wikipedia has been known to be wrong in the past) the N64 analog stick predated the Saturn one by about a month - at least in coming to the market.

It was actually 2 weeks, the thing is that saturn 3d pad was shown off at e3 95 in final form. Thats why I said the saturn controllers were "FINALISED" before the n64 pads

yeah, it's quite funny

think you could compress it somehow, though? It's almost a megabyte, which is painful for dial-up users, the poor saps

As I once told G-Force:

"Dial-up users? Dial-up LOSERS!"...

Thanks. I hestitated using it cause of the size (especially when the "rules" for the forum require an avatar to be 6kb or less) but decided it wouldn't hurt. For all you dusers, I apologize. It'll change soon...
