Hiya! =) Anyways...Ocean software is making what is going to be a hit on the Nintendo 64! Mission Impossible for the N64 takes the story base of the hit movie. You are Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise's character), and you have to clear your name of wrong doing! Just like in the movie, you get to use all sorts of weird and wacky weapons! We were told you might even be able to use some face-making machines, or a tranquilizer in a fountain pen. Look for this hot title by Ocean software in the coming months!

You can access the information on the villain's desktop computer, even if it's turned off. --- Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or whenever the screen changes. Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it doesn't go faster than you can read. The *really* advanced ones also emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer as the characters come across the screen. --- People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data. --- A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before intermission and guess the secret password in two tries. --- Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function. --- If a disk has got encrypted files, you are automatically asked for a password when you try to access it. --- No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by any system you put it into. All application software is usable by all computer platforms. --- Computers never crash during key, high-intensity activities. Humans operating computers never make mistakes under stress. ================================================= the short report: The fun never stops in YT ================================================= teen hompage contest Extra!
