This game is pretty good
I bought this game used today...and it was well

worth the money. The sound on the game is great it sounds

like you are at a real world soccer contest. Call me crazy

but to me this game is just as good and FIFA 2002 for the

ps one console. The graphics look very good for a soccer game

that came out in 1996. The commemtary on the game is excellent

you never get tired of the guys with the Scottish or English

accent and they have many phrases to let you know how you

are playing. They are not afraid to tell you if you are playing

bad either! You have many options like field conditions and

camera angles. The loading time sometimes is like 2 seconds

to start a game which is great. Every player name is recorded

within the game to may commentary even better. The reason it

is not better than FIFA 2002 is because FIFA 2002 for psone

has over 400 teams and probably about 30 stadiums. This older

psone format softare has only 32 teams and 6 stadiums which

still does not take away from it's gameplay. So in closing

this is a nice piece of fun and historic soccer software for the

playstation one console. And a steal if you can find it anywhere!

A good buy if you like soccer and have a ps one. So buy it from

Amazon.com if you can.

Very good map, but avoid the restaurant/hotel information
I was looking for a map aimed at English-speakers, but with enough characters to be useful. [A map with only pinyin, but no characters, is pretty useless for traveling in China.] This map mostly fit the bill. It contains two maps, a 1:60,000 scale map of Beijing, and a 1:15,000 scale map of the inner Beijing (not even including the entire third ring). [Plus a useless 1:500,000 scale map of the greater Beijing.] The larger map contains almost no characters, except the major streets. I would have preferred listing fewer streets, but including more characters. The more detailed map, however, contains characters for almost all the streets. So if your travels will keep you within the third ring (true for almost all tourists), this map should suffice.

However, I would recommend staying away from the restaurant information. The ones listed are hopelessly out of date. Of the 5 I checked, 3 were no longer there. Trust your guide book instead.
