The "What the Heck Are You People On??" Dept.:
MailBag for Issue #5

Comments by Stephanie "Bobbi" Bergman

Every week our associate editor takes on the big ol' pile of mail for your reading enjoyment...got something to say? Send it in. You just might win a swanky loonygames t-shirt. Letters are presented exactly as they are recieved.

Not emulation...it's truly your PlayStation on your computer monitor. Not to mention the legality of ROMs, which is waaay up in fishy land, the JAM system is completely legal, since the only thing different with the game is you're using your monitor instead of a tv screen. A ballgame of a different color. (hey, name that quote, I may just have to give you next week's t-shirt! And Elaine, you can't write in..I KNOW you know that one.)
