Zelda: A Link To The Past

[AggieDave 6]

Man, I forgot how freak'n complex this game is. No wonder I loved it as a kid.

Morgan gave me a Gamboy Advanced for X-mas (gave it to me early since I was laid up in the house for the past 3 days due to my back) and I've been playing it nearly straight for the past 3 days...not quite finished the game yet. I used to play it on the SNES and had beaten it a couple times on that system, but I've forgotten quite a bit, so its almost like a brand new game.

Any other Zelda fans out there?

OMG! I love Zelda!

The first game I ever programmed was a Zelda clone - one of these days I"ll get it to do more levels.


Zelda kicks ass - I remember playing it for HOURS on end when it came out for the first NES. I think I got Zelda 1, 2 and 3 done in a matter of weeks

Thats an awesome present! Now, if they would only get some more cool games for GameCube, I'd be happy

Yeah. This is my only "modern" gaming system besides my computer. I'm waiting for the PS3 or the X-Box2 to buy a "modern" system...although I'm tempted to buy a ps2 just for the new GTA.


Oh, it was basically a fair trade for Xmas...I had "my" jeweler (the one that did the engagement ring) make a NICE diamond pendant in white gold with a white gold chain...I love watching her get jewelry...I like the gasp/sigh sound too. Makes me smile.

Yes, it's my ringtone, and I run to Zelda by System of a Down!

Yup, as goofy as it sounds, that's a cool cover song/remake whatever you want to call it. Just a cool, kinda odd song.

Wow Dave, I've been playing Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the past week or so. Ever since I got hurt, been playing a lot more video games then I usually do.


I'm reminded about how pissed off I used to get at this game....fun as hell though

I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway.

You are going to be waiting a while - at least the end of 2006 or Q1 2007 before those systems come out. Not one developer has a SDK yet to start making games, and most companies take at least a year to make a console game. Why wait? The games made for PCs right now will be what the next gen of console games will look like.

Rumor has it that the Xbox 2 dev kits (dual G5s, ATI R500s) are shipping, and that Xbox 2 street date is 1Q05. Then again, I was supposed to be running Longhorn by now.

Zelda was good, Final Fantasy was better.

it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

That's pretty funny - MS will send out Dev Kits on Mac?? Don't forget to add time to allow the factories time to retool for a new product. And IBM was talking today that the Cell chip won't even start to get fabricated until late 2005 (the PS3 cpu).

The Xbox 2 processors will be built by IBM, based on PowerPC technology, so I guess a Mac makes the most sense. link

And a diagram (three 3.5Ghz cores?!)

Only 256mb main board memory?
Did you hear the announcment about multiple CPUs on one chip? IBM, Intel and AMD are all doing it. Essentially SMP on one chip.

That's not merely a rumour. An XBOX2 dev kit is a Dual Processor G5 Apple system. Microsoft bought a LOT of them. IBM is making a custom 3 CPU chip based on the G5 core to power XBOX2. ATI are making the graphics chip and I think the early dev kits have Radeon 9800 Pro graphics cards in them.

AFAIK the actual date for XBOX2 is end of 2005.

When Microsoft starts making real units the dev kits will quickly transition to the real thing. The G5 systems are not the same as the XBOX2 design but they have a common instruction set for a lot of stuff.

The XBOX2 has some unique and interesting architectural features and some additional vector instructions on the G5 cores. It won't just be a modified PC like the XBOX.

Game companies are developing XBOX2 games on dual CPU G5 Apple systems TODAY, in anticipation of the launch. Console launches are always like this, early dev kit doesn't match teh target hardware but lead times on games mean you have to improvise.
