Updated....+ off-topic things moved to http://neo-source.com/index.php?topic=3253.0GAME 1. Street Fighter II (+ many bootleg versions/variants).All of them played briefly to find what the hack or glitchyness is. Nice surprises.
Note 1: I like best the "Championship Edition..." (also known as Black Belt Edition sometimes I think), why I like this series / bootlegs?.... they keep the original basic punch kick versions of SF series and have a few twists. My best so far is:
- SF YYC bootleg [sf2yyc.zip]
for the wide low dragon punches hitting as dragon punch comes down it seems sometimes
- SF Rainbow Edition [sf2rb.zip]
for slow fireballs, fast hurricane kicks, fireballs with every special move, chaos!
Note 2: SF Fun Screenshot - see attached screenshot for fun circumstance captured - I get player 2 with a fireball after I've died (it was done by sending fireballs from both directions - greatgreat fun (throw a fireball, zoom to other side of the screen using Hurricane kick and throw more fireballs from facing the other direction - I didn't plan to die but was fun for me seeing the other player get hit after I died in the same place I fell!)
Note 3: I had ROMS for FB v0.113 and earlier!!! Had to replace a few (were wrong or for early Final Burn emulator / updated etc). Mainstream versions of Street Fighter II are fun too but I'm more checking the old roms now...
GAME 2. Super Puzzle Fighters II Turbo [SPF2T.ZIP]Simple game to play, maybe hard to master or there is more to it... I never was taught or bothered researching but maybe there's some hidden tips and tricks more than just chaining combos of colours all at once?
Note 1 In future I could read a tutorial (or take a suggestion from community member) to see if there are things the arcade doesn't mention / hint already (the only obvious thing is the player select shows the characters strength or preferred way of combo chains - vertical, horizontal combinations for each character)
Note 2: AMAZING --> No "Street Fighter" in the name ... crazy no? Super Puzzle Fighters II Turbo....
I thought I was going crazy using the search... as I knew I had it and 'wasn't coming up in the search' which I'm learning not to take at face value doing these things 0 eventually just typed puzzle to find it in the list! Any thoughts why not mention of SF exactly even if they bought rights or something (it's clearly SF is it not?)
Note 3: SPF2TA.ZIP (ASIA) allows 1 credit for two players together! What a novel idea
I couldn't think of a word better than novel... suggestions welcome
GAME 3. Pacman - [PACMANIA.zip / PACPLUS.ZIP [B&W VERSION] / PACMANBL.zip
MY BEST = PACPLUS.ZIP [B&W VERSION]
I had these and tested them - I must have kept them as I liked them and are pretty solid as a super-minimal simple game and even nerve racking at times... which I really like! Chomp Chomp.
Note 1: The PacMania seems 'unresponsive' or I mean I have to hold the direction on the keyboard to make sure Pacman goes there... more specifically I mean that playing the older PACPLUS.ZIP you press direction (like up) well before any turn and it seems to save the input and turn at the next available point. Pacman goes up long after you press the direction. PacMania more needs pressing exactly at the corner or holding NOT saving input before... It's a shame as I like the 3D / Mania version of Pacman but and may I'm simply used to planning well with keyboard input much before turns!... Yeah I tested it again and holding down a direction is recommended otherwise one can often and easily miss a turn (which is quite important for this game!)
Yours truly Ken,
I mean Ryu, or sometimes Guile...
even EX Plus Chun-Li
or standard Zangief on my best days

EXTRA STUFF MAYBE UNEEDED / THINKING ABOUT FOR NEXT EDIT OF POST (AND MY THOUGHTS)
Thanks (if only gaming paid eh? ...well that's the problem with money, it assumes people want to be paid or measured in such ways... as consumers... at least people could give us the credit and food for playing and making all these things
Keeping the vibe alive is worth our efforts!)
Ok off to training ...(again - the 2nd day I'm working out while editing all the ideas and taking a break by training!)
Personal Pictures: If there is a place on the forum for putting more personal photos (not too personal) let me know - not cosplay
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay tho!...?... but seeing some cosplay sites years before did swing me on how cool it is to be your character or player, but maybe I'm the real training type, in the training hall and working out - that might be my cosplay!)
Could put it as my avatar?... done
