True to the Originals

Fri, 14 Jul 2000 00:07:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - Back in the day, I owned an Atari system. My brother and I would spend hours trashing each other's high scores in Space Invaders or racing each other in Cops and Robbers. Eventually we moved on to the classic Nintendo (look at those graphics!)...

GetRight: No-Hassle Downloading

Sun, 25 Jun 2000 11:55:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - GetRight is a program whose primary function is to allow you to resume downloads that have been cut off for various reasons (internet connection broken, computer freezes, server problems). I have found this feature to be incredibly useful. This...

Next Generation Mousing

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 22:28:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - I originally purchased the Intellimouse with IntelliEye because my old mice kept dying on me for various reasons. I decided to acquire a longer-lived mouse; that search lead me to the Intellimouse. The fact that it has almost no moving parts means that...

NetZero: The AOL of Free Access

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 15:50:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - I've been a member of NetZero since its very early days. I was lured by the promise of free internet access and was very pleased with the product in general. I could live with the banners and NetZero's software. However, since then, NetZero has...

StarOffice: Why Pay?

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 02:16:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - I initially looked into StarOffice because I needed a Microsoft-compatible office suite available on Linux. StarOffice provided what I needed, and at no cost! I was able to use word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. In fact, StarOffice is...

Fun For All Ages

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 19:50:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - Boggle is a relatively simple game. A 4x4 board of random letters is used each game. All players try to make as many three- or more-letter words from the grid. The player with the most unique words wins.

Sounds pretty simple, but this game...

Solid Game Mired by Bugs

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 17:09:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - I would like to say that Ground Control is a very good idea; the execution, however, is somewhat lacking. This game has several new, innovative features to add to the real time strategy (RTS) universe, but is far too much of an unpolished game at the...

Fetchmail.com: One Stop Email Service

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 13:43:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - I shopped around for a free, permanent email account because I was sick of having an one that was tied to my ISP--forcing me to change email addresses anytime I changed ISP's. However, I also desired the ability to check my several other email accounts...

Freedrive.com: Good But Not Good Enough

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 22:07:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - FreeDrive is a convenient way to store files online, but their service pales in comparison with the competition.

First, they offer only 50 megs of space. This isn't bad, but there are better offers out there, especially since their is no way...

An Excellent Strategy Game

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 19:12:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - Diplomacy is a classic. It starts in the spring of 1901 with seven Great Powers of Europe battling to control more than half of the continent's supply centers.

The most attractive feature is the complete lack of luck. No die rolling, no card...

Innovative But Keeps Original Flavor

Sat, 17 Jun 2000 17:50:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mst3k - I originally got this game because I remember falling in love with the gameplay of the original Castelvania series. I hoped it would be a graceful translation from Nintendo to the Playstation; Castelvania: Symphony of the Night met and exceeded my...
