Okay, so I've been thinking about getting a handheld gaming system. Having a hard time choosing. I've done some research on both the Nintendo DS and the Playstation portable.
Maybe I can get a better review from my friends here that may have either or both. Which has the most and better RPGS? DS or PSP?

Personally I have a PSP as I have emulators on it for other systems too. And I've heard Blood Bowl is better on it than on the DS.

If it helps in my descision. I adore old school RPGs which I grew up on. (Legend of Zelda, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, just to name a few.) And DS seems to recapture that. Especially old school anime RPGs. While on the other hand, PSP RPGs are technologically more advanced as far as graphics go. At least more sharper.

You can play all the old rpgs from nes, snes, genesis, and more on the psp. Do a little research on the model you need to mod to do what you want before you buy though.

Someone else had an ST too? Those comps were years ahead of anything else, sadly ... with Atari entrenched as a video gaming company back then, no one looked seriously at the STs and Mega STs. |

Passive entertainment. And what's an ST? You guys are showing your age. The Atari ST was Atari's attempt to make a high end platform. It was what Lucas used to create the effects for the original Star Wars movies and had built in midi capabilities that lead many musicians and producers to adopt it. The first MACs were said to mimic them and several lawsuits from both sides evolved. STs were also the first 32bit processors available back when most were 8 to 16. Sadly, few made any programs or games for them, as they had such a small market share. This is back in the days when an Amiga with 512k memory was top end. The STs came with 1-2meg. A failed attempt at a less pricey model was attempted that had 512k like the Amigas, but dropped soon after. And yeah, we're old farts. |

yeah the old atari st's also had no problems using the momory unlike the 8086s from ibm that were stuck with 624k and everything above that was virtual memory and created all sorts of problems.
and yeah old farts are us lol.
