PlayStation 1 S-Video Cable
Cobra Kai replied to KeeperofLindblum's topic in Classic Console Discussion
My experience is just get a PS2 slim, which has a better variety of cables to choose from. I mean, it can do Component as well as S-Video. I know that's probably not the answer you want, but it truly is the smart play IMHO. You want to talk about bliss? Component signal with something like the PS1 Raiden Project, or Strikers 1945....it's miles better than the S-video you'll get out of the PS1, and the load times are better. I do have the Monster S-Video cable for the PS1 and I have to concur with the other guy above, it has a spectacular quality about it. Very thick lining, but also very flexible. I don't think I've ever seen other cables quite this good for video games. In the end though, it's still just delivering an S-Video signal. I couldn't say if the Monster Cables provide any cleaner of a signal over a cheaper alternative. I doubt it to be honest, because I have a lot of experience with S-Video on a multitude of game systems and used a wide variety of cables and never noticed one brand being better than the other.- 12 replies

I think theres a 2 player light gun game on the intro screen.

So there's going to be a re-release of the Star Wars cab then? I might jump on that, it's such a sweet looking cab and it sucked I missed out the first time around.
-
I'd say it's worth the money, I've put a lot of hours into it.

Ok, perhaps I'm incorrect, but I consider it incomplete because it's not a finishable game. But other posters are saying it's possible to finish this game, but I've never seen evidence of it.
-
I've read in the past that the more you upgrade the ship, and the deeper into the game you get, the game starts to suffer unplayable slowdown.
-
It's too bad this game is incomplete and glitchy. Every time I pop this in and start playing I get a feeling that this game has a grand scope, with the massive city to explore, and the upgrade system to the ship. Dare I say it has a hint of simulation to it with the first-person cockpit view, but only just a touch. I think this game feels like an RPG more than any other game on the system too, even more than Towers II.

The Official Sega Saturn Thread!
Cobra Kai replied to Steven Pendleton's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I've been tempted to buy Street Fighter: The Movie for some time. Can anyone tell me if it controls like a standard Street Fighter 2 game? I've never played it, but I love digitized graphics, and I'm comfortable with SF2 controls. I don't think I would like it if it has Mortal Kombat controls, for instance. Also, regardless of the control scheme, is there some fun to be had here? I've seen a few videos and it seems fine, but for some reason the game was never popular at all. -
Well without giving anything away, I figured out you can avoid certain things all together, and I think that's part of the joke. Some of the games are really fun, and some are not. The game I like a bunch is Zombat, and Woodgal Adventure is pretty good too. I dislike the Dart game and UFO Alert. I actually think the Dart game is out of place, I wouldn't put one in my arcade. I find Darts more suited to a bar and/or pool hall setting. I would have liked to see the game selection less scripted. So everyone who plays this, you'll get the same 5 games to start with, and then the next 5 games are the same and so on. It would be interesting to have a more open ended game selection so your arcade can become somewhat different than everyone else'. I would also like to see more options for the decorations such as different carpet and neon signs/posters. Another minor complaint is that I would like consistency with the AI bots that appear to be playing the games, and that games' popularity. What I mean is, I always see a person playing the Cyber Dance machine despite it not being a big money maker. But my Racer Chaser game is my most popular game, but I never see any people playing it.

I've started playing this. How do you guys find so much time to play the arcade games? I spend most of my time picking up trash and doin laundry.
-
I bought the actual disc game. I use a DC-X as an import enabler. It's cumbersome but I didn't really look into alternatives.
-
I will be sure to play some Cannon Spike, Rush 2049, and Under Defeat on my DC this weekend. Under Defeat is a fairly new acquisition for me, I think I got it earlier in the year. I was actually thinking about selling my DC collection at the time, and then decided to buy this game instead.

I've been playing the arcade version quite a bit on my A1up Yoga Flame unit. There are times during play where I think it's got serious flaws. The movement is weird, so weird as to make it tough to have the same exact game. The hit detection is not refined either, the game just feels unfinished. I'm not saying it's a bad game, obviously it's not, but there are aspects that needed ironed out, the game feels raw as it is. There are frustrating moments for me when I can play two games back to back and have completely different outcomes, even though I have the stage memorized and know what to do, because the control and the hit detection is not precise enough.
-
I think there's way more potential customers to buy the EXP, then there are existing customers. If I'm Blaze, I'm looking to expand my user base. It might feel like an affront to existing Evercade owners, but really they need to get more users that can buy cartridges right? Capcom is going to get exposure, this is a real coup for Blaze and I hope it works out well for them.

Why did you get Class of 81 when you had the Dig Dug? They have the same games for the most part, although the Class of 81 is a beautiful machine. I'm not blaming you, just personally I couldn't justify the expense to have a machine with duplicate games on it. Your pictures aren't loading for me in this quoted post.

To the OP, there's nothing stopping you from starting topics in SNES. If it's a game I'm familiar with I'll join in. I play my SNES routinely, but I mostly don't write about it. That's pretty much true for most of the forum anymore. I need to have a serious burst of inspiration to start a new thread around here, something that gets me excited for some reason or another. I'm more interested in gameplay and strategy, if it's anything about programming I'm out.

The T2 cab does have an All-time and Weekly board. Implementing this feature across all the games could help.
-
Great scores to -1, but you max score players are leaderboard killers. I wouldn't be too happy if I were A1UP, because leaderboards are a selling focus point right now. When the average or even good players have no hope to break onto the board in any meaningful way, then one of the strongest reasons to purchase the cabinet is removed. Real Arcade operators found this out the hard way when income would drop on certain games and pinballs because the scores were out of reach of casuals. So, they would reset the high scores from time to time.

I know exactly what you mean. Personally, I can't imagine limiting myself to a single platform for video games. But, we have members right here on this forum who only are interested in one video game console, and at least one member where that console isn't even an Atari! AA is the only gaming forum I actively participate in, but years ago like most of us, we were all posting on multiple boards.

I'm registered at shmups.com, but don't post at all. I mainly stop by to read strategies and tactics of whatever current shmup I'm into. That place depresses me because everyone there seems to be super geniuses at every shmup. I used to think I was a pretty good shmupper, but after browsing those forums you realize you're not very good at all.

I have it on Xbox X, and while I would probably compulsively buy the Jaguar version, I can't really see myself playing this game without twin stick controls now.

Well I've been corrected, thank you. My level of anger at this is low because I wasn't going to buy this cab anyway. I find their disclosure rather disingenuous, or contradictory (or both?). How can you remove %15 of the hits in this game, including the pile-on tackles, and still [b]'maintain the level of excitement as the original'[/b] and also claim '[b]all of the fun chaos is still there[/b]'? I was there in the arcades, and I distinctly remember from myself and watching other strangers play Blitz. There was always an exclamation of excitement from the pile-on tackles, even though they didn't directly affect the gameplay, it put smiles on faces. If you ask why would this make me angry at all? It's a philosophy. I don't want my movies, music or video games censored. It's pretty easy to understand. I'm also disturbed at the level A1UP is willing to re-engineer the ROMS to censor like this. You know damn well to remove this many animations from a game is a significant engineering feat, and was not done for a good reason. I have another thing to say. Why am I suppose to blame the NFL? A1UP agreed to this deal. They are making the game, they re-engineered the game, they are selling the game.

I'm really happy with the new Gaelco and Jaleco arcade carts. There's some pretty sweet games on these that I've never played before. World Rally 2 is just bad ass, I've always loved these isometric racers. And I had no idea The Astyanax was an arcade game, I had only ever played the NES cartridge.
