everything in the galaxy with the exception of there own species.
Than, the outworld would team up with earth warriors for the same

games at an arcade I was at!  I'm a little disaptointed the Saturn version
wont be using a dual stick, because of costs, but it still has it's unique
controls.
I just hate when people try to force opinions on me.

Write your reply.

assistant: Game companies charge a lot for CD games because they CAN.  Sega knew people
would gobble up VF2 at any price.  I assume with Legend of Oasis, they're
taking advantage of RPGers loyalty to the genre.
Lufia 2 is supposed to be EXCELLENT.  The first $70 game I bought was Final
Fantasy II.
Haven't herd anything about Namco and N64, though.

in America, second in the world.  It's in Bloomington, Minnesota.
The Dayton screens were larger than normal, not HUGE though.  I think they
had 50" screens for Street Fighter Alpha 2 and a few others, though.

assistant: If there's one thing I don't do is BS. I haven't the foggiest on how to get
 him but at the UMK 3 Machine in Chateauguay, Que. You can take him. I think
 you have to finish the game with Ermac or something like that, (It's one
 of the ninjas). But he has all of Reptile's moves. He's just colored Purple,
 called Rain and seems to be a bit faster to me, like he's running all the
 time. You're right, he's just something to make people pump quarters into
 machines, but he's a character. So there's no BS here (He could be another
 screw-up like Ermac in MK 2).
