To our surprise, there isn't any store - digital or retail - that has the PC version and to make things worse, Ed Boon himself said - a few days ago - that there never was a PC version of this arcade collection."
A look back at a key moment in one gamer's life at the local video games arcade.
Those parties were the best. I remember something similar where myself and a few friends finished Die Hard Arcade. Good write up. You have got me pining for the good old days
Back then it was about trying to get the top score and having fun hanging out with your mates and no one cared about how many pixels a game had
Jack and Geoff face off in various Mortal Kombat themed titles, Geoff picking Jack's character and vice-versa. Who will win?
This week Fred and Jam are throwing around fighters of the 90s (that aren’t Street Fighter II or Tekken, we did a show for those already). In the 1990s, the fighter genre was the most popular type of game available (like First Person Shooters today), and among those that have withstood the test of time there were plenty of others that played the field. From Mortal Kombat to Soulcalibur you had plenty of arcades (and home ports) to drink your quarters in arcades.
Im a big fan of 3 genres in the arcade. SHMUPS, Racers and fighting games. From playing games like 1943 to Daytona to fatal fury and everything in between.
big respect for SF2 and what it did for bringing the fighting games out of obscurity (ye ar kung fu, pit fighter) and into the main stream. It is the Neo Geo that did it for me personally. Art of fighting, Samurai Shodown, world heroes and the eventual annual release of king of fighters.
Those were the days.
Just for easy finding, if anyone is interested in our Street Fighter and Tekken ep (not the game Street Fighter X Tekken, but rather an analysis of both franchises) is here: http://gaminghistory101.com...
One of my favorite genres, along with shmups, in gaming.
Kind of makes sense. You can easily play the whole collection via an emulator on pretty much any computer built in the past 10 years. Even runs perfectly fine on my mobile.
It's still coming guys,they put an update on the article.
MAME. That is all.
