after reading this article, I actually set this up and tested it. I'm glad my high speed account gives me a dial up number to screw with... It's a little more laggy while playing mario kart, especially when many objects (such as shells) are bouncing around. It is managable though. Animal Crossing was a little worse, but still playable (though I only tried it with one person, it may get unplayable with more). I don't have any other WIFI games but I'm guessing they're doable.

@1, you can find your ds's MAC address in the WIFI setup screen. It's on the same screen that has your WIFI ID.

Man. I feel old. Well, just a few years older than Link anyway. My most MEMORABLE moment is actually with the original NES game. I was around 4 or 5 and would watch my uncle (and my mom, and my grandpa) play religiously, and I played a little, but not with very much skill. There was just this certian mythic quality to see hidden rooms, doors underneath trees, explodable walls, etc. I would constantly have dreams (and nightmares) were everyday objects suddenly opened up into hidden passages. Even know when I think back to some of the 'secrets' I witnessed, I remember them in bold clarity, though they seemed a lot more vivid when I was a kid.

Since then, I've played and beaten every zelda that has come out so far. Oracale of Seasons/Ages was the most difficult, by far. The water temple has nothing on those games. Zelda II holds a close second, only because even at MAXIMUM power, you're still not all that strong compared to the enemies at Ganon's Tower.

Though I have to say, walking into Gerudo Valley (actually getting across the bridge) for the first time is a pretty amazing memory too.
