So this is the internet speed I have to put up with today. And it's been like this at a relative's house for weeks now.

WTF is this?

They were suppossed to be UPgrading to 10mb a second, it used to be 2mb. I can't even read these figures, it's like 0.24 mbs? It feels like its only slightly above 56k at the moment.

It appears your download speed is around 30 Kilobytes per second. 56K is around 6 Kilobytes per second, so you are downloading roughly 5 times faster than 56K.

Here's mine:

Mine's a bit slow today. I usually get around 6Mb/s or 700-800 Kilobytes per second download. With Comcast's Powerboost (which only works really late at night for a very limited amount of time), I can get around 12Mb/s or 1500 Kilobytes per second.

soooo tired

P.S. I played the original Tomb Raider on a friends Saturn and quite frankly it was kinda clunky. Did not like it that much, was ugly too.

Wasn't the Saturn version worse?

Yes, much worse.

Tomb-raider was all of what dvader said for gamers, but also for many many people it was what got them to overcome their "gaming is for nerds full of zits" complexes and got them to pick up a control without risking their image.  along with a few other games like wipeout and sony's aggressive advertising it was what brought gaming to the mainstream for good imo.

also i think the saturn version maybe looked slightly worse, but was the same exact game otherwise (it was the version i got to play, same as wipeout)

 I never played the PS1 version, but I have the Saturn one. It's unplayable.

The Saturn version was the inferior version, but is was not as bad as Hamster describes. Was quite close actually.

Not in the same league as Mario 64. Not even close.

How so?

Yeah Mario had really smooth controls, but honestly can you see Lara controlling like Mario? That's the only area I can see anyone agruing for Mario 64 as a far superior game, but those controls wouldn't have felt right in TR. Plus TR wasn't even designed with analog controls. Sony still had 2 years to go before the Dual Shock.

In terms of level design and production values I found it every bit as good and sometimes better. Definitely more immersive at the time.

I played Tomb Raider on the Saturn, it was fine.

You must have played it when it came out.  I played it for the first time last year.  I was planning on playing it back to back with the Anniversary edition.  I had a hell of a time even seeing where I was supposed to be going most of the time.

I was playing it on a HDTV too, which probably did not help.  The controls were fine, but I just couldn't see anything.  It looked like this:

I haven't tried it in years but now I have too.
