I'm not all that thrilled by this, mostly because I feel sorry for my dad for swiching just half a year ago. Hopefully the transition will be slow enough for him to have a decent lifespan on his Power Mac. If not, guess who's going to get the blame.…

@Mark- Card Carrying FanaticRealist No. Not only would it require the Mac development base to maintain two version of their software. The markets you've mentioned are not in any stretch of the imagination as open as you'd like to think that th…

I'd just like to note to those that drag up the "swich" to the 68040 and PPC, that a swich to x86 would be nothing like that of yore, at all. The 68040 is an ISA "shrinked" 68k CPU, all you needed to do was to provide an emulation file (triggered…

Let me put it this way, if Apple is "swiching" to Intel, then I pray that Intel will start making PPC ISA chips. An ISA transition for Apple would be (I fear) disasterous. Just take my father for example, he just swiched half a year ago, simply b…

I just thought I'd add two more games (non bugged this time). Megaman2 (NES). It's hard but ok'ish untill the final showdown. I don't know whos brain in Capcom shortcircuted when they did that, but it's daaamned tough. I've managed to beat it tho…

Just found this thread in Beyond 3d, wich talks about thew Heavenly sword demo, link . Turns out that everything except the initial footage of the girls face is realtime gameplay footage. Quote: The trailer was made by selecting a bunch of in-ga…
