Does anyone have any idea where I can find information (esp. photos, videos, rankings, etc.) about the 1999 or the 2001 games? Thanks!
Try a search. There’s lots of information that’s already been posted on here about past games.
Yeah, I understand that. But most of the posts about past games have been about how they are similar to this year’s game. I need information and especially pictures of devices used in those games because we’re looking for some to give us some ideas or possibly to build from and improve.
