New Archive - September 1999


Wednesday, September 29
  • As you can see, we have finally gotten our new layout up. What do you think of it? It loads much faster than the old one and I think it looks much better too. Email me and tell me what you think of it.
  • We have had a change in our affiliates program. Affiliates now get a text link on our main page and a button link on our affiliates page, becasue all of the button were taking too long to load. If you have a problem with it, you can change out link to a text link. To find out why some links are bold and some aren't, check out the affiliates page.
  • We should have more news on DK64 soon becasue I should get my latest Nintendo Power, which will feature an article on DK, any day now.

  • I know this doesn't have to do with DK64, but today I got a chance to play Jet Force Gemini at my local Wal-Mart. This game is awesome. Its got beautiful graphics and is tons of fun to play. The onlt thing was the control and camera angle was a little hard to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was no problem and easy to control. I have no idea what level I played but got to play as Juno and had the pistol and the machine gun. This game is a must buy.

Besides these golden bananas, you will find other useful items along your way, including: regular bananas, cherry flavored bananas, ammo, coins, and musical instruments and tons of other stuff.
