p.s. the Dream's playground was amazing, something that maybe only the X360 matched in quality... the console also performed well in the USA, but it flopped heavily in Japan and Europe, where Sony, despite a weak launch with the PS2, dominated the home market uncontested and Nintendo made ends meet with Pokemon on the Gameboy...

uhuh, what you've caught... ten pages wouldn't be enough to describe this "piece of software" as it deserves, let alone if we had to consider the second chapter (of mammoth proportions for its time, featuring entire cities like Kowloon, and we're talking about stuff that came out almost 10 years ago). 200 thousand lire for American import back then, I got the second one in EU since it launched simultaneously. Unfortunately, like many masterpieces, it remained incomplete, also due to the budget of 60 million dollars, pure madness for the time, given that sales obviously did not recoup the investments... I don't even know what happened to AM2 and the other studios, but the last time I read about SEGA, it wasn't good news.

I've told you, you feel too important. The first comment is for you, but the others are not. And what arrogance! For me, anyone who writes that the '90s were a dark age is writing a huge nonsense. And if he keeps going without arguing, like imene, I don’t need to insult him; he does it all by himself.

You feel too much in the spotlight; my response was to imene, not to you, and if you know the character a bit, you’ll understand why. "Are you going to teach me how to perceive things? Or can I feel free to have an impression that is solely mine?” Sure, except you put it on display and only accept positive feedback. You gave a passing grade to a series that doesn't even have it on IMDb (where even the worst crap gets a pass), the criticism is predictable and you should have seen it coming. And then you pepper the conversation with cheap maxims, which is just fine for you (in fact, you reiterate it at the end); maybe someone is free to point it out without me sending them to hell.

I've only read the comment from the Expert, but I'm voting based on trust.

I read the review, and the funny thing is that in the final paragraph you summarize the reality of the facts: "the Nineties ended and left things like Melrose Place to be remembered only by a few idiots who spend their time grappling with cheap existential doubts and useless reflections on the past, like yours truly." I completely agree with you. And since we’re in the mood for a rant, the next time you think of re-evaluating a shitty series like this, go fuck yourself instead… oh, if you look through my comments you might not feel so privileged, or maybe you will, who cares.

The '90s are the light at the end of the tunnel of the '80s; globalization consolidates as a reality, the boom of the new economy that breathes new life into Western economies (also thanks to the Asian crisis), the tech boom, the end of numerous historical conflicts including the one in Ireland and apartheid in South Africa, the collapse of the USSR, the birth of the European Union... Sure, there are dark areas and negative events like the ones I mentioned earlier, but it remains a bright era when compared to the dreary decade just passed.

but okay, it’s bullshit, the '90s are the period of maximum economic expansion and the hi-tech bubble that burst in 2000. A time of prosperity, wars in Yugoslavia aside. The first decade of the 2000s is a much, much darker period for humanity; it only took the Bush era to bring the world back to the darkness of the '80s.

The dark '90s? Are you kidding? It seems you haven't seen either the '80s or the 2000s... But why bother recovering this crap of a series? Not even in a thousand years will anyone dream of saving this filthy mess; everything that is signed by Darren Star has always been and always will be garbage.
