I hate to post OT considering the list is slow with relevent topics, 
but in light of the Gamecube comments I've been reading: is anyone else 
out there playing Animal Crossing? I piked it up on a whim, figuring it 
would last a week, but damned if I'm not firing it up for 45 minutes 
every day. Definitely a "love it or hate it" kind of game. I guess I 
love it. 
I wish I knew someone else who had it, I'd like to try going to another 
town. The mere mention of Gamecube gets a lot of negative reaction from 
personal friends who play games though...

My love of the Gamecube feels a lot like my love of the Turbo Grafx always 
was... many gamers today with "cool" PS2s and XBoxes have a senseless bias 
against the GC like those who had a "cool" SNES or a Genesis did against the 
TG16 back in the day (I mean no disrespect to any of those systems).  
Fortunately Nintendo is in the business pretty much to stay, unlike NEC which 
pulled out when the going got rough.  

In any case, Animal Crossing is one of the most unique and fun games I've 
played in a long time.  I've played it almost every day since I bought it.  
Every time my interest starts to wane, I find something new that sucks me 
into it again.  The only thing keeping me from playing it more is that I've 
been pulled back into the world of PSO.  But you're right...it is a love it 
or hate it game.

Subject: cube, ps2 + s-video on the duo


    Currently the systems I own I will never ever get rid of. My PS2,
GameCube, DreamCast, TurboDuo, Gameboy Advance, and NeoGeo Pocket color all
have their specific reasons for remaining in my collection and retaining
their usefullness as game machines. Each have great exclusive games, with
oodles of gameplay, good music, and decent graphics. Finding that balance is
key, and for me the x-box and n64 just never had that, along with some of
the other systems i never bothered to get.

The one thing that i wish i could find for turbo duo that the others can
produce (of the consoles) is an s-video adapter. The picture is so much more
crisp that its made me go back to playing old psx titles and dreamcast
titles that i hadn't touched in quite some time, and anything on the
gamecube in s-video looks phenomenal.

I'd have to say that from a standpoint on gameplay alone, the playstation 2
is the system to own of the current-gen systems, with the cube at a steady
but far 2nd. I have a total of 2 games for the gamecube (metroid and
godzilla) but I plan on getting eternal darkness and a few other games that
are of merrit. The ps2 on the other hand has many more games that are
currently good along with the large library of very good psx games.

If anyone can convert the old turbo duo cable to s-video or knows of some
way to get that done, please let me know
