    Dear Internet:  If something doesn't bother you, it doesn't 'faze' you.  I don't know what it means to be 'phased' but I assume it happens to careless physicists.

      I like to use "loose" as a verb correctly just to mess with people,  to loose my wrath, so to speak.

    The World Heroes series for the Neo-Geo was a fun alternative in the 2D fighting scene growing up for me. Others were playing the Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat series, but for me, I was the fella that kept putting in tokens to play it. I may have been just a handful of players enjoying World Heroes, but ADK surely made an impact in my life on the World Heroes titles.

      I'm still waiting for Muscle Power to show up in King of Fighters.

      It's a PC game.

    Heading to Ogunquit Maine coast this Weds-Sunday.  Hitting the beach and steering clear of the great whites.  Lynx is coming along!

      Ogunquit is real?  I thought it was a place Stephen King made up.

    RoboCop is one of those series where you can pretty much just ignore the sequels and pretend it wasn't a series, and it's excellent.

      I'd buy that for a dollar!

    Really f***ing weird-- I played Phantasy Star on Kega Fusion emulator and King Lassic kills my whole party with one hit.  Huh??

    Lookup tables save the day yet again!

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      There is no problem that cannot be solved by adding a lookup table, except for too many lookup tables.

    I've been playing on that Genesis/32X for a couple days now; I really prefer Nintendo.

      I recently discovered this game and it's a shame it wasn't in my life much earlier.

    I swear, no matter how long i wait before updating my GeForce drivers, whenever  I finally do the update, there's another update the very next day!!!  

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      I've given up on keeping Geforce drivers up to date on Linux.  I just keep using the same driver until a kernel update forces me to upgrade, or I just feel like updating for some reason.

    There's just something about Eternal Champions: Challenge From the Darkside's soundtrack that gets me pumped. (Despite not owning a Genesis with a Sega CD.)

    Enjoy!!

      Ryan Witmer

      It's an amazing soundtrack to an amazing game.  I spent many, many hours playing that game with my friends back in high-school.

    10hrs into Skies of Arcadia--still forcing it. Does it get better? I'm up to the forest islands.

      I remember really liking it, but coming to the conclusion that it was just too easy.  I wouldn't mind replaying it, but my Dreamcast copy doesn't work anymore.

    He must have had all the top notch guardian angels with him.

      I love how mundane Stroll's rollover was after Grosjean basically exploded.  The commentators just shrugged it off like "he's hanging upside-down by his seatbelt, he's fine."

      And after all that, Stroll flips his car on the restart.

    The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is now SNK's largest shareholder. It's on the Neo-Geo thread to see. Thank you to Atariage member carlsson on bring this to our attention for us. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/223548-the-official-neo-geo-thread/page/984/#comments

      Does this mean we'll see Najd in KOF XV?

    The number of people working on homebrews is amazing and their minds sharp!  Seriously, I wish we had this level of talent back in the 1980s; maybe the crash could've been averted.

      My games are just a means of getting forum likes.

    Alright people.  It's not "marshal law."  Nor is it "marshall law."  It's "martial law."

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      Marital law is a real thing, at least.

    Pole Position for the 2600 arrives in the mail today. Ever since I played the 7800 sequel, I've become interested in other ports of the game.

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      I remember how excited I was when I got 2600 Pole Position for Christmas as a kid.  I still have a soft spot for the game and find time to play it every now and again.

    MS Flight Simulator 2020 is a stunningly beautiful game. Sim. Whatever.

      It's just regular Flight Simulator with a bow on its head.

    Given how SF5 turned out, Yoshinori Ono leaving Capcom would be an improvement.

     

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      SF4 was already a huge step backwards from SF3.  SF5 somehow screwed it up even more.

    Attention indie studios and aspiring developers: don't give people overlong cutscenes that can just be covered in two minutes or less. Avoid repeating the mistakes made during the CD-ROM era.

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      For what it's worth, my newly formed game company has "no unskippable cutscenes" in its mission statement.

      At the very least make the stupid things skippable.

    Zelda 2 should be remade using the BOTW engine.

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      It amuses me that Zelda 2 got so much flak back in the day.  Modern Zelda games probably have more in common with Zelda 2 than the original.  The game was ahead of its time.
