So the rest is history and coming soon to a Game Boy near you is "Pokémon Pinball" - The FIRST game to utilize portable force feedback on a Game Boy. The cartridge has a motor inside it. Hmm. This could be a helluva good idea with say... "A fishing game"; but "Pinball"? Oh, well. The game will be released in Japan soon and will surely hit these shores.

While I wonder about the "implications" of a vibrating Game Boy Pocket or Game Boy Color; one can't help but feel that this is going to be an interesting year for the portable. Raise your hand and than e-mail Nintendo if you want Metroid 2 DX to have force feedback. Hmm. Force Feedback Racing and fishing Game Boy games. On a final note; I certainly hope that these things don't rumble TOO hard; or that clunk sound you hear is people accidently dropping thier Game Boy Colors.

Since I met you - Nintendo Power's January Bonus Issue (Which I'm getting in the mail soon.) has a contest in the Pokémon Power insert. The contest prize is MEW! Hmm. If you don't already own one; enter and you too maybe one of the lucky 151 people to own Mew. Oh, the issue should hit Newstands as early as the 10th. (Subscribers got first crack at the contest.) Sadly, I already have a Mew. Actually, I have a few Mew, and I gave some to my friends. Hmm. Oh, well. The official ones might be stronger than "Sharked" ones though.

It's killing me. - Hmm. Well, do you see that box in the left hand side? It's for those who guess the TRIVIA question in each NEWS issue. Well, only ONE person made a guess at the reference; but they didn't answer the trivia question. Oh, well. You have to guess the album and than guess the answer to the trivia question. This week, the question is easier. After you figure out the album that the little paragraph titles reference. (The titles are song names.) Here's the question you need to answer. "This band's newest album under the "Virgin" label is dedicated to who? Just answer the question and e-mail me the answer. To get mentioned as "Special".

Wanna be loved - If you went to that Game Shark Code Creator's Club lately, you may have gotten rerouted to something bad. It's fixed now. Rainbow 6 for Game Boy was officially announced.

The Truth - Harvest Moon and Legend of the River King for Game Boy Color got delayed... AGAIN. Oh, well. Trivia Hint: "This band is not a really NU THANG and recently shifted from Rap to Hardcore Rock in just two albums. They say that luv is a verb." Game Boy Monolith has returned! Go see that website in the Links page. You will not regret it. Hmm. Praxcelis got some offers from people selling games "dirt cheap". Hmm. Potential black-market Game Boy game sellers.. my e-mail is dmgice@yahoo.com. I'm not being followed; if you want to contact me. (Dragnet theme plays..) What? Kill that music! Hmm. One more thing. Carrot Crazy and Twouble are two looney Gameboy games with new Looney Sites! Click on the game names to see the sites! This is more of a late recap. Sorry. Well, here's something new. Congratualtions for Jeff Frohwein. He's listed in the credits of Mortal Kombat 4 as a programmer. Wait a second. Maybe I should congratulate him.. AFTER I review the game.... (ominous music.) Well, peace and love people! It's 1999!
