There was a mini NEO GEO arcade machine, but not a mini console.  I think SNK tried to do one but dropped it.  I think.

I don't think all the TG-16 games were lackluster.  They had some hidden gems that I'll go over in the coming weeks.  I just think Nintendo had such a strong grip on things back then, that it was hard to compete with that and the upcoming Genesis.

I really like 'em!  Not too hard, but not too easy either.  The later ones get pretty weird, though.  Especially Super Bonk on the SNES.

I think it's funny that you talked about playing TG-16 games and I just started a month long blog series about the mini console of it that just came out.

Well I sent you a PM with the story anyway.

I don't know if I have any celebrity crushes.  I'm horrible at remembering celebrity names.

I like shooters, too, but I'm also bad at them.

Pokemon Cafe Mix's mobile game vibe isn't even the good kind either!

I can send you a PM if you want to hear the incredibly flirty Ulala story.  It's embarrassing. :)

How do you find out about these clubs?  Are they through the library or something?  

I didn't really play the Genesis version much since I didn't have one, but the arcade game was very weird.  You could even turn into a robot!

The year 2000 was my last full good year at The Dallas Morning News.  I reviewed big name games like Banjo-Tooie and Kirby 64.  I even got a front page tagline for Kirby that I wrote: "Think Pink."  One of the best E3's I went to as well.  I think that model dancer dressed as the Space Channel 5 lady liked me. :)  Not going to tell that story, though, unless you want me to.  Web sites were asking ME to write for THEM!  In fact, I even brought business cards with me to E3 from a place called Zgadz.com, who specialized in game reviews for kids.  Sound familiar?

I also was done with college, so even though I hadn't found a job yet, I actually had more money to spend than I did when I was in college!  So I was able to catch up on a lot of games I missed, especially ones like Mega Man Legends and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.  Got a lot of Dreamcast games, too.  The Game Boy Advance also came out that year and I got to review it and a bunch of games.  Really good year overall.  It went downhill the next year, though.
