All the leaked information regarding the ability of the enigma console is listed below, including CPU, graphics processor, co-processor and sound processor stats.

Good news for all you N64 users. From David Jenkins piece titled EuroSpeak in Gamasutra this week:
>>Nintendo Sex Survey. Research commissioned by Nintendo (and therefore completely true) has revealed that N64 owners perform better in bed. The survey talked to the partners of a representative sample of British males, and asked the women to rate their boyfriends according to stamina, vigour, technique, flexibility, inventiveness, and consideration. As it turned out, N64 owners came out on top against their console and non-console rivals. Alternate uses for the Nintendo Rumble Pak are not thought to have influenced the female vote. Some wags have already suggested that the reason for N64 owners' success is that they practice more on their own.<<
