30 years ago a legend was born on this day.

I had the fastest Over Top video online. Then I lost it a couple of days ago. Now I've regained it, just. Uses the sound breaking glitch boost so it's mostly silent

There's info in the vid's description if your not 100% sure what you're looking at re: throws doing less or more damage and scoring less or more points than a standard throw which does fixed damage and is worth 1000 points, by applying the properties of different moves to the throw

Well, I've been reliably informed by a Japanese national, the Japan Times newspaper and Google that this is in fact correct. From Metal Slug to Japanese ship naming conventions in the space of 10 minutes. Not something I ever thought I'd be learning about and yet here we are "boat names are written from bow to stern. So on the port side of a boat, the name will be written left to right. If you go around to the starboard side, you’ll see that the name is written right to left"

No idea why the text was written this way but it was. It has no meaning when read backwards. I could understand if it was a mirrored sprite but it's not, the hiragana is just written out in reverse order

Happy 6th anniversary to the thread and a big thanks to Anthony for bringing it to my attention and for all the work he does in sharing the Neo Geo love. To celebrate, here's a 1cc of KoF'02, one of the Neo Geo's most loved games that I'd never actually played until last year when my local arcade got it in. I'm new here and the game's new to me so it seemed like a good fit. Here's to many more years of Neo Geo love

That's good to know. Most of Europe, Japan and parts of the US were having issues earlier but it seems to have been fixed as YT vids that people are linking on Twitter are working for me again

Youtube seems to be having some issues where linked / embedded vids aren't loading. Hope this works for you. If not, just go to the main YT site and it should be fine. There's some bug explanations in the vid description

This very well known 29yr old game has an entire set of barely implemented mechanics that are pretty much unknown and unreported
