Yeah, and Gamefan really kind of seemed to me like the "FOX NEWS" of
the time, claiming to be unbiased, but really just spinning everything
for the obscure consoles to the detriment of credibility. I don't
understand it really, these people have the opportunity to flex their
writing ability and really capture an audience through their own
exclusive access to games, news, whatever, and they choose instead to
nurse idiotic biases and dupe the public into thinking there can only
be one "good" console, game, company, etc.

Well, when a Genesis can be had for $15 and SFII SCE can be purchased
for $3 complete, I don't know what's holding you back! An NES I
understand, man, paying $50 for that thing, and getting incomplete
games for $5 and up, just really doesn't appeal to me as much as
practically everyone else.

Scott - Admiring the irony in public perception, Genesis doesn't have
enough colors to be "good", but oh man that NES is gamer heaven. ;)
