Hmmmm...Earthquake game huh? I like it - great idea! Thought for sure the NASCAR game would be half a steering wheel with the screen in the middle. Not so sure about a one hand game - will have to try it out before getting a feel for how much of a success it could be. The 20F mentioned two "Extreme" games David (if my memory serves me right). Are these the bike and skate games or have they not been released yet? I could see a skiing game where the player is holding two poles with a screen in the middle, somewhat like the bike game. Or a Bungie Jumping game where your hand bounces if everything goes right and splat if it doesn't. Hah. This thread is going to keep sending ideas up the flagpole for quite a while David. We got a ton of them.

Hi Anthony, I think you are reading the press release wrong - "are happy with the Spring prodcuts... and Nascar". Best regards, David

Anthony, I didn't say that there was a problem with NASCAR, but if my previous post implied that then please let me clarify. My understanding is that the game was simply not done in time to make the spring set. I believe that someone posted here awhile ago that the magor retailers set their stores twice a year (please correct me if I'm wrong) so if a product isn't ready for the first set it won't hit the stores untill the second. This doesn't mean that it won't be available in speciality stores or catalouges untill then. My feeling is that the present line and the apparent increase in shelfspace that seems to be happening will fill production capacity untill the expansion is complete and the new games are ready to hit the big boys. I know that Target has Bass Jr on the shelf already and if you haven't seen it yet, I promise your gonna love it. It talks, " LETS GO FISHING " and " REEL IT IN ". Ya drop your worm in and when a fish bites you reel it in before the pirhana leaves you with just a skeleton. Anyway, this is just MO so take with salt. Sorry for the long post. Jay
