Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to scour your collection, video game stores, and the internet for pictures of the coolest box art ever. It doesn't matter which system the game is for, just post a picture of the box art, and explain why you think it's the coolest.
I haven't been able to decide myself yet (I've limited it down to three games), but I want to see what each of you think is the coolest box art.
I'm not saying that Saddam helped plan Sept 11, because I do not think that is the case, but whether their ties were made before or after Sept 11, there are still ties...and that means that Saddam is/was (if he's dead) a bigger threat than liberals like A_Black_Falcon will ever admit, because of personal vendettas.
This is a link to the entire transcript of Colin Powell's address to the UN security council.
This is a link to the section specifically about Saddam's ties to Al-Queda. I suggest that anyone who doubts there are any connections between Saddam and Al-Queda read the entire page. I'll just pull highlights out.
Quote:Iraq today harbors a deadly terrorist network headed by Abu Musab Zarqawi, an associate and collaborator of Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda lieutenants.
Quote:Baghdad has an agent in the most senior levels of the radical organization, Ansar al-Islam, that controls this corner of Iraq. In 2000 this agent offered al Qaeda safe haven in the region. After we swept al Qaeda from Afghanistan, some of its members accepted this safe haven. They remain their today.
Quote:Zarqawi's activities are not confined to this small corner of northeast Iraq. He traveled to Baghdad in May 2002 for medical treatment, staying in the capital of Iraq for two months while he recuperated to fight another day.
During this stay, nearly two dozen extremists converged on Baghdad and established a base of operations there. These al Qaeda affiliates, based in Baghdad, now coordinate the movement of people, money and supplies into and throughout Iraq for his network, and they've now been operating freely in the capital for more than eight months.
OPERATING FREELIN IN THE CAPITAL FOR MORE THAN EIGHT MONTHS. Nobody can do anything in Baghdad without Saddam's permission. He runs a totalitarian society.
Quote:Going back to the early and mid-1990s, when bin Laden was based in Sudan, an al Qaeda source tells us that Saddam and bin Laden reached an understanding that al Qaeda would no longer support activities against Baghdad. Early al Qaeda ties were forged by secret, high-level intelligence service contacts with al Qaeda, secret Iraqi intelligence high-level contacts with al Qaeda.
We know members of both organizations met repeatedly and have met at least eight times at very senior levels since the early 1990s.
If you remember, Super Star Soldier for the N64 was the only 2d (2d field...it was polyagonal) scrolling spaceshooter... I wonder which Star Solider game(s) this will have in it... the series also includes 1 NES and 3 TurboGrafx games...
Quote:GameCube successor before PlayStation 3, neXtbox
Japan's Nikkei Industrial Daily, a daily newspaper, states today that Nintendo could release a successor to its GameCube hardware sometime before Sony and Microsoft launch their next-generation consoles in 2005. Nintendo thinks that if it is the first to release new hardware, it could give them an advantage that they've been without with the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube.

I hope this doesn't mean that the hardware will be a lot worse than Sony's and MS's. Sega tried this with the Dreamcast but failed, but I guess Nintendo is looking at the PS2 and seeing how far ahead it is in terms of sales and popularity. But Nintendo is more like Sega than they are like Sony, so this might not be a good idea. Perhaps if they release the system six months before the competition with tons of great games (no Luigi's Mansion crap) and a huge marketing blitz, they might have a chance to seriously compete with Sony. And the hardware better be comparable to the competition's.
Discuss.
Oh and before someone tells me that this is old news, it's an update on old news and we need some more threads here. So shut up.
The ultimate collector's item for Zelda fans? Maybe, I know I just bought mine on eBay. :D
Contents include: A 12-track Zelda Sound Collection Nintendo Sound Staff Selection from Famicom, Super Famicom, Nintendo 64 & GameCube Legend Of Zeldas / 2 Figures: Link & Molblin (Moriburin) / an original big poster & map / a Zelda Wind Waker Fanbook with 116 color A4 pages, including color illustrations and B&W drawings, etc.
The only place I know of to get this outside of Japan is eBay.
