I hope this is an active sub!  =)  I'm desparately looking for the
instructions of Romance of the 3 Kingdoms III for SNES.  I know it's not
exactly an arcade game but I figure arcade junkies are into SNES too.
;)  I bought this game at Blockbuster several months ago as previously
viewed and it had no instructions.  Usually games are easy for me to
figure out without instructions but this one has me lost.  It looks like
a fun strategy game plus it's based on history so please, if anyone
knows of this game, can you please upload a text file of the
instructions or email it to me at theonlymambo@hotmail.com??
Any pinball fanatics out there???

I won't gaurentee these boards work as I don't have the time to get them

much about the depth of the game, but it's not a 'true' three-diminsional
fighter like Tekken or SoulEdge.  You can side-step, but not very easily.
There are (currently) 12 or 16 playable characters at my arcade.  I've
heard (probably only rumors) that there are more characters.  (More than
likely ones similar to Noob or whatever)  Need to know anything else?  Try
getting online and going to:
www.mk4.com
Yep.  It's an actual page.  It tells just about everything you would
probably want to know.

I have found the best arcade game since TRON... Jurassic Park. I have never
felt so into a game as I have with this one. My friend and I were actually
ducking from the jumping velociraptors! Anyone else played this little gem?
And on another note...
The only place I play arcade games anymore is at the Mall of America in, if
you don't already know, Bloomington, Minnesota. There are two arcades there,
somewhat small but comfy. My only beef is they only exchange three tokens per
dollar. Chuck E. Cheese used to give out about five tokens per dollar. What
gives? The exchange rate is almost as bad as the Yen...

  Apparently, you don't have a terribly beefy PC.  You could quite easily get
The Lost World on to a Pentium II with a good 3D board (preferrably, a Voodoo
2); no detail lost whatsoever.  You could get some good speakers and a PCI
sound card, and - voila - surround sound is yours!
  As for the raptor reaction, that's just a matter of coding, not a hardware
limitation.  If you want proof, check out Trespasser (another Jurassic park
game) when it comes out on the PC (and the PC only); its physics and AI
routines would boggle your mind.

  Well then, go on upstairs and check it out (at least, visually)!  I've
never actually seen it in motion, and I'm wondering just how fluid and real
it is.  I hear the clothing is actually modelled seperately from the body!
  I think you can do well in fighting games (they're not sims, per se); just
try to learn some moves, and avoid button-mashing (hitting them randomly and
frantically).  Heck, if you want, try downloading the Virtua Fighter (or
Virtua Fighter 2) demo and practice with that!  It will probably help once
you're in the arcade.
