CamePro's found a road you can cruise and make contact with us any time you want: the information superhighway. The Internet started about 25 years ago as a linked network of computers around the globe that enabled scientists and researchers to share information. Recently opened to the public, the Internet now permits computer users across the world to exchange e-mail and share opinions in discussion forums called "bulletin boards." Commercial online networks, such as Com- puServe and America Online, have also linked up, adding inex- pensive Internet access to their offerings. Savvy users can find hot new game tidbits online, from both other gamers and game companies. If you're hungry to hit the highway and are in need of a road map, be sure to read "Surfs Up! Online Video Came Information" in this issue. It’s the first installment in a two-part series that shows you how and where to find video game info via online sources. Once you're wired into the Net, drop us a line - we're speed- ing along the highway, too. We've established a number of e-mail addresses for incoming messages: the mail.gamepro@iftw.com “The Mail" buyers_beware.gamepro@iftw.com “Buyers Beware" fighters edge.gamepro@iftw.com ‘The Fighter's Edge” role players.gamepro@iftw.com “Role-Player's Realm” swat.gamepro@iftw.com “SWATPro” comments.gamepro@iftw.com Suggestions and observations vents us from responding to you personally. We will, however, consider your questions, comments, game tips, and codes for publication. Be sure to include your name and address in your e-mail so that, if you win a prize (for supplying us with a tip that we publish, for instance), well be able to send it to you. We don’t expect our online presence to be limited to just e-mail in the future. In fact, some GamePro editors can be found surfing the networks now and then. Well keep you apprised of new developments as they happen. Until then, well see you on the highway! The GamePros comments.gamepro@iftw.com San Mateo, CA GamePro Readers Speak Out! Fightin’ Words T here's a lack of interesting characters in today’s fight- ing games. Most games have someone who looks suspi- ciously like Ryu, ninjas are a dime a dozen, and there's usu- ally one woman who’s not very strong but compensates with lightning speed. The story lines are also bland and overused: How many times have we heard about some mean guy who calls upon the fighters from around the world to fight to see who’s best? Unless designers begin to expand the personality of these games, the genre is doomed to collapse. Ingmar Freske Bellingham, WA Here’s a fan of fighting games: 17-year-old Andrew Hepburn of Miami, Florida. Andrew wonders when we gave out the MK II fatali- ties. Check our October ’94 Issue. Cart Queries D onkey Kong Country is great! Is there going to be a sequel? Bryan Munch Westlake, OH The Unknown Gamer replies: You bet! One of the biggest- selling games of the last few years will be followed by Don- key Kong Country 2. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nintendo an- nounced it's working on the sequel for release late this year. And don't forget Donkey Kong Land for the Super Came Boy - it's a pseudosequel. I enjoyed the awesome NES game Batman: Revenge of the Joker back in 1 992. Later that year, you showed a pre- view of the SNES version. It should’ve come out two years ago, but I never saw it in stores. Did SunSoft ever release it? Cheyne Hirko St. Augustine, FL Batman and Joker battled on the Genesis, never the SNES. Lawrence of Arcadia replies: SunSoft did release Batman: Revenge of the Joker on the Genesis in the spring of '93, but it never made it to the SNES. The game got ratings of all 3.0s in our May ’93 issue. R.I.P. ill there ever be any more games for the NES? Everyone keeps talking about more megs and bigger sys- tems, but we should all realize that more power doesn’t equal better games. Some of the best games ever made were for the old 8-bit NES. So I hope Nintendo and other compa- nies don’t turn their backs on that great machine. After all, if 12 GAMEPRO Miy 1085 it weren’t for the NES, we never would’ve had the 1 6- or 32-bit systems. Ceri De Guzman Manila, Philippines Toxic Tommy replies: Enjoy those memories, Geri, because the NES has gone the way of the TurboDuo, the Lynx, and the dodo bird. At the Winter CES, Nintendo announced that it had official- ly “retired" the NES, so no new games will be made for it. Rental Requests A re video game rentals going to be available for the 3D0 and Jaguar? I’m inter- ested in buying one of these systems, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to rent games. Matthew Stevenson Sugar Land, TX Tommy Glide replies: Currently, rental games for these systems are available in very limited numbers. Block- buster, the nation’s largest rental chain, rents 3DO games in only 50 of its stores, and it doesn't rent Jaguar games at all. Some small, independent stores do rent Jag games; call Atari for dealer information: 800/462-8274. If you want to see rentals in the major chain stores, direct your appeals to the 3DO and Atari companies themselves. With enough letters from gamers, they’ll push to make those games available across the country. To reach Atari, write to Customer Service: Jaguar rentals, P.O. Box 61657, Sunnyvale, CA 94089. To reach 3DO: Customer Sup- port, 600 Galveston Drive, Redwood City, CA 94063. One postscript to this issue: Until rentals are available everywhere, you can check out 3DO games before buying them by purchasing 3DO’s CD samplers. Each disc shows off about ten titles, with up to ten minutes of interactive gameplay for every title. The samplers cost around $5 and are avail- able in stores or through 3DO Direct Sales: 800/335-3506. Let’s Get Technical A re there any accessories or add-ons available for the 3 DO system? Lee Weeks Winslow, ME The Lab Rat replies: We’ve checked out two 3 DO peripherals lately - Innovation's SNES
