>>What do you mean by that Gurth? Are shows like "The Mighty Morfin Power
Rangers" or the "Biker Mice from Mars" or the "Super Something Syber
Samurai"
or the "Virtual Soldier Wahtever" not popular with todays kids ? :)


PS: I'm kinda partial to the Biker Mice from Mars, I like the one with the
Cyberarms :)<<

Just gotta toot my own horn here and brag to what appears to be the one
person in the universe who actually watches this show, that I was a writer
for BMFM, and I think I'm even down as Assisstant Script Editor in some
of the later ones. :)

Actually, I notice that the most popular video games tend to be based
in fantasy. But in Shadowrun, a lot of what used to be fantasy is now
reality; Mortal Kombat for example; is just a bunch of phys-ads with some
additional magic kicking the snot out of each other, and you can read
about that in a 2054 newpaper. I forsee video games in the future to have
a lot of advanced spaceflight simulators, since that's something SR hasn't
caught up and made real, and probably a resurgence of medieval fantasy
games, and a few DOOM-like games for the ultra-violent. And, of course,
a "Shadowrunners" game, but it would be about as popular as those "Real
Cop" shooting gallery-type games are today...

just my thoughts.
