Zine Scene - O t a k u B o y O n l i n e - Zine Scene The best news from the best vid-gaming sites -- Nov. 13, 1998 Vol. 1 No. 21 FRIDAY The 13th! -- written by OtakuBoy - "Holy MACARONI!" Now on superriffic, magical ICQ! # 21176515 Resouces obtained through Gaming Central! http://www.startpath.com/gamingcentral/ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OtakuBoy loves you. OtakuBoy cares. That's why OtakuBoy unleashes his virtual scrubbing bubbles onto all the online console video game sites -- even on sites you've never heard of before -- to scour out the best features, reviews, previews, and news. Then OtakuBoy tells you where to go get them. OtakuBoy loves you. Now, love OtakuBoy back. =OtakuBoy Speaketh ========================================= Everyone's all a-titter -- sorry -- over "Tomb Raider 3." Seems as if the game's gonna be out in time for turkey. I even went through my old E3 stuff just to pull out that Lara centerfold one of the mags ran at the time. Wow. Nothing gets me more hot than polygons. I can now see what many a- sex starved gamer has for the girl. 15 degree angles. Ooh, baby. ----------- Dreamcast & Saturn (DC & SAT) But I've so much Lara on the brain that I'm going to practice a bit of delayed-gratification. Trust me. The psychologists say it's good for you. Instead, I'm gonna go at it with Dreamcast. Woah! A Super Cool Dreamcast promo movie that's goin' around Japan somehow plops on Gaming-Age! How did they do it? Who cares! Just download the 10 meg Quicktime previewin'-puppy. And speaking of cool previews, check out the news about "Project Berkeley" over at Videogames.com. Oh, in a totally unrelated piece of Dreamcast news (HAHA!), Sega announces pricing for the online action Dreamcast owners are gonna experience in a few weeks. Details at Videogames.com Naomi and Dreamcast sittin' in a tree, I N T E R F A C I N G. Sorry, bad joke on an even worse ditty. Still, Sega X has and interview with some Sega people abouth the super- cool Naomi arcade board and what may happen when it gets its ever-loving mitts on the Dreamcast. And speaking of inter- facin' technologies and exciting possibilities, Gaming-Age has news of a Sega-something that may compete with the new Color GameBoy. Ah, I knew I couldn't avoid her. She had to crop up some- where, right? The creator of Tomb Raider speaks about Dreamcast. Will Lara's breasts bounce on Dreamcast in full- on, textured 3D? If you've simply had yer fill of Lara, then try and find out what 'Hidekazu-mania' be. I canna figure it out, Cap'n. Is it contagious? Airborne? Details at Next-Generation. Also, there's a blue stain on the walls of The New York Daily News as they dissect Sonic to see what the quick-bugger could do for Dreamcast. This deserves it's own paragraph: Gaming-Age goes nutsy with previews and pics. Check out the latest shots and stuff on Evolution, Sonic, Tetris 4D, and PowerStone. All Dreamcast. Wow. Can you see the love in my eyes? PlayStation (PSX) Super-contributor Wizard sent in lotsa PSX goodies today for you. He's a real PSX-URL-huntin'-d00d. He's obsessed! Obsessed! Prozac perscription on the way, Wizard. First, he sends note of an interview at Videogamers.com. A Super-Interview, in fact, with Dreamworks and the people behind "Small Soldiers." See the movie. Play the game. Eat the cookies. Down the malt liquor. It's merchandising at its best. "What exactly IS 'Sentinel Returns,' anyway," Wizard asked? I don't know. I went to the review on Videogames.com and I can't figure it out -- neither can the review. So, here's a more graspable game: "Brave Fencer." Wizzie says to check out the profile at Gaming-Age! Also, check out a super-review of "Crash Bandicoot 3." And speaking of Crash, Videogames.com put together a big guide to the game. Watch out. Thar be spoilers in dem dar guide. Also, why watch TV waiting (in vain?) for those new "Resident Evil" ads to appear when you can download 'em from IGNPSX? Ok, folks I won't hold you off anymore. I'm sorry. Please forgive me! here's the word on Lara and "Tomb Raider 3." Turns out she might have a bit to do with corn bread stuf- fing and gizzards. Details at GameFan and Videogames.com. Happy? Thank you. Wow! All these previews are gonna keep your butt plas- tered to yer chair all weekend. I understand a few online stores sell spatulas, should you get in real trouble. Start at IGNPSX and their list upcoming Atlus titles. "Oh, Atlus. Bring your titles hither." Then, PSXMax has an update to their "Ridge Racer 4" preview. Re:Tokyo has info on a new Square RPG sequel (say that 200 times fast), "Saga Frontier II." Also at Re:Tokyo, preview of "PS Dragon Valor." Want reviews? PSXMax has 'em, it seems, of "Dragon Dice" and "Bust-A-Groove." Lotsa games went gold today. Details at FGN. Just keep scrollin' down the screen til you "gold" over and over again. And speaking of sites that make you scroll, third story down on Magic Box brings news about a Sony-induced threat to Pokemon. Yeah, Pikachu. Sony's gonna kick yer little butt. Ha ha. I got Hasbro's "Centipede" in the mail today. ;) Actually, I got to play the thing at E3. If you wanna know more about it, check out the OFFICIAL Web site. Nintendo (N64, GameBoy) All these Zelda nuts have it wrong. It's GameBoy Color that's gonna be the PSX-Killer. So says 64Source. Meanwhile, Videogames.com celebrates the 50 best GameBoy games. Go see if you agree with them. No one asked me to vote. I guess you didn't get to vote either, huh? I don't buy this GB Color as PSX-Killer, though. Yeah, it's cool and all. But I think if anything's got a chance to harm PSX, it's Zelda. And other thinks so to. First, check out the "Miyamoto-san" interview of Videogames.com. Then 64 Source and Gaming-Age brings news of how the title's reviewin' in Japan. Cool. Then it's a full-on preview at IGN64. In Console-space, no one can send you bug patches. Too bad. Looks like that's gonna piss off some "QB Club" play- ers. Details at Gaming-Age. NintenDojo runs a super-long interview with the people behind "Twisted Edge." Snowboar- ding, man. Snowboarding. Meanwhile, IGN64 runs news of a "secret" N64 title. Of course, it's not much of a secret anymore. Thank GOD they didn't say, "Best Kept Secret." 64Source runs a preview of "South Park." It's more like an update, but it's cool! Nintendo Underground reviews "WipeOut 64" and a Gamecenter reviewer says, "my wrist was all tired and sore." Eyuh. What could he mean? Oh, maybe he's just reviewin' the "Reality Quest" Glove thingy. Also, wanna know when stuff's comin' out? 64Source updates their release list And finally, could this Nintendo/Pringles thingies be collector's items? Multi-format Lastly, but not leastly, here's a quick fun item. The first Star Wars: Episode 1 movie posters. Coool. See you Monday. Thanks to Wizard. See a cool story? Send it to me!
