    I definatley prefer KI.  Even with those stupid trillion-hit-you-got-no-

   I didn't care for Virtua Fighter 2, the way they changed some of the
moves kinda turned me off though.

Write your reply.

assistant: For those of you that might have missed it, this here is the Arcade echo.
The topic is Arcade Games.  If you have a home version of an arcade game, it
is
on topic.  Computer games and games specifically for home systems are still
off
topic.  Please take heed, so that we don't have another influx of doomsters
and
hackers.  The U64 and PSX [playstation] and their technical aspects are
completely off topic.  If you wish to discuss the game systems deemed off
topic here, ask your sysop for VIDEO, VID_GAMES or GAMING.  Home based games
systems are welcome there.
                      -=Rules for the Arcade Echo=-
1.  The topic here is Arcade Game machines. This includes video as
    well as pinball.  Threads that obviously belong in another area
    must be moved there.
2.  Personal attacks or "flaming", will not be tolerated in any way,
    shape or form.  Leave the moderation to the moderator.
3.  Discussion of the decisions of the moderator[s] must be in netmail.
    Decisions of the moderator are final.
4.  Failure to comply with these few simple rules will result in a
    warning in the echo, and continued failure to comply will result
    in loss of write priveledges to this echo, for a period of 30 days.

Depending on what button(s) you press, you can get different colors.  He's
