791.0. "WHY buy an Video Console and not a PC ?." by FRSCS::ELKABETS () Mon Mar 08 1993 04:58

	   Hi,
	  Can someone here, mention some points why should one buy an
	vidoe-game equipment (e.g. NINTENDO or SEGA..), and not just a PC
	that can be used, not only for games but also for other 
	implementations.

		Thanks

    A video game system costs around a hundred dollars.  A computer system
    costs thousands.  A video game system can be tucked into the space near
    a television.  A computer system requires additional space and
    furniture.  A video game system can be plugged in and used.  A computer
    system requires installation, maintenance, learning, and tinkering. 
    Video games generally have better video quality.

	    So one who has already a PC, has no good reason buying such
	an Video-Console (ignoring portability!), would it be right
	to say so ?.

    Re .2:
    
    Are the games on the PC as good as the games on the video game system? 
    Is there room on the PCs disk for the games?  Can you get Ecco the
    Dolphin for the PC?  Or Link to the Past?  Or Adventures of Lolo?  Or
    any of dozens of other games?
