You hit the nail on the head there. Ended up a 'Misc' winner, since it's
just so damn different.

Thanks for the heads-up

Post by: Brax on November 04, 2002, 08:24:26 am: Ultimate Arcade 2 WAS given an award. It's my understanding that they're awarded as found, not in any particular order.

This isn't about the website, this is about 1UP's hard work and great acomplishment. I just wanted 1UP to be recognized.

Great job 1UP, you've really raised the bar this time!

But we'll know the clone from the original because it won't have a belly button, right? Or it'll have a "generation" dot under it's monitor?

Maybe I shouldn't have watched the simpsons halloween special under the influence of a few brewski's...

I shoulda bought a HAMMOCK!!!!!
*slaps forehead*

I just need to borrow 1UP's cab so I can spin it in the hammock...... think he'll mind?
