haha yeah, i think it was microsofts crap attempt at making a unique menu/interface thing. i think it was supposed to be designed for adults, but i loved it because i could make my own room and fill it just with all the games programs. plus you could pick your little mascott helper guy down in the corner. as an 8 year old i thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I feel sorry for a lot of people who missed the boat on the best age in gaming. Since around 2002 things really went off the deep end. Not that there isnt maybe or great game every couple of years, but theyll never match up to something like X-COM or Baldur's Gate II or CS. I encourage everyone bored with gaming to go back 15-20 years and start working your way up through highly rated games. You wont regret it, Id go back and do it again if I had time~
