did you know that the Nintendo company was established in 1889?

i couldn't believe it either :eek:

Their very first product was a set of playing cards known as Hanafunda Cards

Cool company. My fav now since Sega got out of the hardware business.

Sega is finally kaput?

I think Nintendo has always been on top since the release of the NES in 1986. There was a brief time in the 90's when Sega's Genesis tried to take the crown, and in someway succeeded, but then there was the ill-fated Saturn and Dreamcast :lol:

I feel sorry for those who ever bought a Saturn or Dreamcast :(

Sega is finally kaput?


Sort of. Sega gave up hardware after the Dreamcast dissapointed in sales. But they still are a software company producing games for the Game Cube and Playstation 2, I believe.

I've noticed some Sonic games for the Game Cube which really confused me. I always thought of Mario and Sonic as rivals and hoped someday to maybe see them in a celebrity death match :lol:
