Not it looking like this, it would have to heavily reworked into the game being heavily story based, and have plenty of DLC.

This is yet another example of how awesome Capcom was back in the day, pumping out several amazing games within a decade. What a time to be alive. I love that they put those Moai statues in as enemies; between this and all the times Moai have been used as enemies in Konami games, I have to wonder what the decision was for Japanese developers to use them in this way? I've always loved it.

I heard some time in the early 90s in Japan, there was a big fascination with ancient cultures like the Egyptians and Polynesians. Thinking about it, it is evident in a lot of games, anime, and even super sentai of the era.

I remember in the early 90s our county fair had a big arcade tent in the midway. It was there that I first encountered this gem in-cabinet. That machine gorged itself on my quarters! I have always been enamored by its design, characters &dynamics. My favorite loyal subjects are the white wizard, dark mage, gargoyle &knight. Favorite minor enemies are skeletal warriors, floating specters &mummies!!!

The artists behind these games were really well adept in the use of color. Their games were visual masterpieces. Sf2 was a great example of the artists using color to create beautiful backgrounds. Dalsim stage, Vega stage in France, Chun li stage, Ehonda stage, the colors were so bright and created a warm atmosphere. To me the top two companies with the best artists were Capcom and Neo Geo
@persona83 Жыл бұрын
Vega's stage is in Spain. But I agree, the key secret of these games is the amazing color usage. I remember the first time I saw Guile's stage, I was confused thinking it was a real plane.

Neo Geo is not a company, but an arcade board system manufactured by SNK. They did make more games for the system than any other company, though, so maybe you meant SNK. Neo Geo had a very impressive life span, with games for it being made from 1990 to 2004. It was special for being cartridge-based, so the same board and cabinet could play different games by just having the cartridge switched. There were multi-slot versions of the Neo Geo MVS, with even as many as 6 cartridge slots, which meant that you could change between the games by just accessing the service menu.
@jackylee58502 жыл бұрын
There's quite a few hidden secrets throughout the game, on a few stages there's a hidden door that lets you skip ahead a few stages 53:38 That stone power up turns your regular blue charge beam into the much stronger red version, ideally you'd hold onto that till the final boss. Failing that, the spiked gauntlet increases the attack power of your regular attack (not the charge beam) At least you managed to get the maxed level lizardman, the best support character

When they put this game on the snes i couldnt believe it. The game feels like it has no ending. So i get unlimited play time out of one game, and it happens to be a really good game. Snes version is plagued with slowdown but i couldnt care any less. This game is that good. Capcom was the king back then. Their snes games were just as impressive as their arcade counterparts. When the snes mini came out and the hack was made, this was the 1st game i added to it.

While the game was technically awesome I found it to be a bit too hard compared to other Capcom titles back then. But my biggest gripe wih the game was that it's too long, which after a while made the gameplay loop and especially the audio design quite repetitive and even annoying. I never really loved this despite Black Tiger being my all time favourite arcade.
