It must be the Summer heat, it's making people delirious.
Hello,
I have recently purchased the game Virtua Fighter 4 but it came with no booklet who do I need to write to, to obtain a copy.

Hello Maria,
Usually you can find booklets or FAQs about games online, I suggest http://www.gamefaqs.com. However if you're really bent on getting an original booklet, you can contact Sega through their customer supports systems though I imagine a long wait if you go that route.

The Increasing Awe of the PS2
Hi
I was wondering like when the PS2 came out and it had good graphics then each few month after the graphics on games that were coming out were getting better and now it's Summer of 2004 and the graphics are beautiful and I was wondering what does the CD cointain that makes the graphics better each time?

Hello Paul,
It's not really what's on the CD that has made the games look progressively better, it's how the developers utilize the hardware that has changed. When the PS2 reached U.S shores in the Fall of 2000, most developers only had 12-18 months experience working with the dev kits and really didn't understand how to get the most out of the hardware. In fact, Hideo Kojima, mastermind behind the Metal Gear series of gaming, commented on how difficult it was to develop and program for the PS2 hardware. Four years later, it's a different story. Developers have had lots of time to tinker with the PS2 and probably know many of its secrets and pitfalls. With that in mind, it's easy to see why games have gotten progressively better looking as developers have learned to get more and more out of the hardware with each successive year.
