mid-year refresh

i was at my mazda dealer today and the had some mid-year p5's with the new sport tranny and some sidemarkers. i thought the side markers were cool but with that front bumper running light i think its too many lights too close. but the new transmission made me jelious because i have a normal old tranny. the mid-year p5's really look just like the sport 20's(except the orange bumper light) down to the transmission and everything. now just if we can get that sport 20 engine.

Why are you guys all hot and bothered about the sport-shift automatic transmission...learn how to drive a standard and actually drive the car as opposed to just steering it.

i believe i have that rom on my dreamcast and its for a NES EMU. but you are probably correct. That thing has a cult following. Watch this video http://www.overclocked.org/zerowing.mov This is a funny version of it: http://www.scene.org/redhound/AYB.swf and here is the story behind it....http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/story.shtml

You mean no ROM. I have a DC EMU. EMU=emulator=software to play games. ROM=Games to play on the emulatory. I have a cd with a nes EMU and about 450 NES ROMS.

no....i agree that "zero wing" or whatever its called is a genisis game and I don't play it. I am just saying that I play NES roms on my DC, with a NES EMU. Its called NesterDC. Search and download it. Get the roms and put 'em on a cd and play 8bit on a current system, be able to save and never worry about blowing out a cartridge again....

you can do that if you have a genesis EMU, but the smash pack is not the same thing. It was made by sega and you have to buy it. Sure its only $10, but what about the sentimental value of Super Mario Bros. 1-3 and Guantlet and countless others that are clasic 8 BIT NES games? I can't give 'em up.
