"Mattel Interactive has released the first series of PokeROM collectible mini card-shaped CD-ROMs that each feature a different Pokemon character. Developed for kids ages 6 to 11, PokeROMs are available for Macintosh and Windows for $8 each. The software includes educational lessons, quizzes and puzzles with the Pokemon mythology. [site not updated]"

What's up with that??? Not just because something is MacOS compatible doesn't mean it automatically has to be given publicity in Macnn.com!!!

Save the yellow mouse!!! I have been a fan of anime since I was about 12 and am a huge fan of Pokemon. I am sure that there are many MacNN readers who are parents, grandparents or other family members who know small children. Children who can name all 151 characters as easily as the ABCs. This does happen...I've seen it. It's eerie.

These readers and even members deserve to know about this product. Besides, exposing the children to Mac platform through targeted software will lead to loyal Mac owners later in life.

Long live Squirtle!

I remember there used to be (c.1993) an AfterDark game where you hunted Barney with a whole variety of different interesting automatic weapons. Does anyone know of a similar pokemon hunting game? would MacNN post a front-page story on it if there were? IMHO that would be far more wholesome for kids - develop a healthy hatred for all evil exploitive garbage like pokemon.

Hey! Damn Strizaight yo! you best recanize I's so down wid dat Berserkeley thing, ble!

I used to subscribe to the Berkeley Systems toasted-mail thingamabobber! At one time my collection of AD modules was over five hundred, and I was darn proud of every single one- especially Flying CheeseDucks!
There was just nothing like them Flying CheeseDucks to keep my good'ol Classic quacking away all night!
And there ain't Nothin' wrong with that!


it's too bad AD died off

Now, they said about card sized shapes? So what are those slot loading computers going to do with these, as they cannot accept card sized cd roms....

I forgot to mention (and of course you really want to know :rolleyes that my collection was about four times the size of my hard drive back in the day (Classic had 40 MB). I had a SyQuest 45 MB cartridge drive; 4 cartridges were full of AD modules. And I'd cycle which few modules occupied the ~2 MB of my HD I could devote to quality screensaving. But the Flying CheeseDucks were always there.
