 Nope, not at all.

PMFan, you think Tony Hawk is arrogant and annoying? He came off as robotic and uninspiring to me. I see nothing wrong with going back in time, though. Haven't you ever read a book with flashbacks? Come on.

 That too. He comes off as smug to me...I guess you can tell I just don't like him.

Flashbacks within reason are fine. But talking about events in 1988 and then jumping NINE years back is inispid, IMO. No reason they couldn't have covered King's Quest when they were at that point the first time. Very sloppily produced, outside of the 88/79 thing also.

--- Quote ---- not enough on handhelds. They mentioned Gameboy, but left out Atari Lynx

Maybe they left out the Lynx because Atari Corporation has been dead for 8 years, and maybe people still hate the Tramiels for Atari's demise (even though Ray Kassar did some really boneheaded stuff when Warner still owned Atari).

 While I agree with your reasoning, I think revising history because of some kind of personal vendetta is awfully damn lame. Especially when the significant contributions the Lynx made to the hobby are considered.
