Well, the site is back now and so is my email <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
Fran: Before I start, I just wanna say that I don't mean to sound like I am flaming you, and I don't wanna start an argument... I just need to say a couple of things...
Ummm, me too harsh on games??? You say I hated Double Dragon, but I gave it a good review... to me, 7/10 means a good game (but not spectacular), not a bad one. Just because I like something doesn't mean I instantly give it 9/10 or whatever like some people might do (not unless I think it deserves it). I have to be constructive and give it the mark I think it deserves, and although DD is a cool game, I personally think there are WAY better games than that available for the Neo Geo, hence the 7/10 rating.
Also, not EVERY review is done by me, some are written by other people. For instance, Galaxy Fight's first review was by me, and I gave it an average rating (6/10) which is what I thought it deserved (but I know not everyone agrees). The second review of the game was by someone else and I know they completely slated it, but that was their opinion and they were kind enough to write a review for me so I posted it (even though I didn't really agree with it myself).
Anyway, for your info I have been into the Neo Geo since the early nineties as I played it in the arcades tonnes back then and I also have access to the real machine. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> I do use NeorageX, but mainly so that I can take screenshots and stuff for the site - I can understand why many people here hate emulators though and I respect that, but they can be a useful tool at times.
Anyway, I guess the morale behind this post is just because I don't like every game you like, that doesn't make me a Neo Geo hater, and everyone is entitled to their opinion <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> I mean, if I hated the Neo Geo and only discovered it a year ago, do you honestly think I would have taken so much time creating my site??? I love Neo Geo and always will - besides, if you don't agree with any of my reviews you are always welcome to write your own stating why you disagree, and I will post them up on my site <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
If your opinion is that you still don't like my site Fran, then thats ok anyway - like I said, everyone has a right to their own opinion and I don't force anyone to visit it. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> Thanks for reading.
