Final Fight 3 really wasn't the shining successor to The original Final
Fight.  There was way too much slowdown.  The game didn't look very advanced
as far as graphics, but obviously this game either wasn't optimized, or it
was designed with a higher end system in mind. I just miss the old side
scrollers.  Everything in the arcades now is either fighting games (very
big), some sports, and a few scattered sims.(racing I mean)  I missed the
old days when you didn't have to know a million moves for each character.
You could just get on a machine and play, and get your money's worth ( and
not get the crap kicked out of you in 5 sec. like some new fighting games
I've tried!)

Agreed.  Virtua Fighter is the most realistic arcade fighting game as far as
moves are concerned (and maybe graphics too, VF3).  The name says it all
Virtua (Virtual) Fighter.  Well, that's just what it is, a virtual fighting
game based on real moves.

Write your reply.

assistant: Yep--One to Four quarters to play one game...
And then you can play as many games as you want.
If you want to compare PC's and Arcade Machines, compare the Purchase
of a PC with the Purchase of an Arcade Machine.  With PC's, you can
purchase a new program for about $50.  To get a new program in an arcade
machines, you buy a new machine for a few thousand.
Don't compare buying a PC (infinite games) to poping quarters into
machines (single games).  It is a different perspective.
EX:  Mortal Kombat 3 - Arcade - $0.50 to play till you lose
                     - PC - $45.00 to play as much as you want

Write your reply.

assistant: Thanx man. I try to stay as unbiased as possible. I do believe that the N64
will be the best system, but I have to give the Playstation it's due. It's a
great system that has gained startling popularity. That surprises me cuz even
the Saturn has better technical specs. However, the deciding factor of
whether a system succeeds or fails is if it has quality games. The
Playstation does, the N64 looks like it will, and the Saturn might as well
just die. Hopefully the systems of the future will use DVD-ROM (or super CD)
rumored to carry 41 gigs of data (!!!!!!) instead of the CD. Then maybe sound
quality could actually reach "CD-quality" (an overused phrase) because
today's systems fall short.
