Write your reply.

assistant: Okay sorry I didn't give enought detail. Okay jump in with a medium
punch. When u hit with the medium punch, press it again. That should hit
twice. U can hit the opponent in the air. After the 2 hits do a standing
uppercut or a dragonpunch. Or if u want 2 be fancy do a crouching short then
a red fireball! Dizzy! Combos are easy 2 do in Alpha 2. If u want more 4 Ryu

cheap when it comes to getting new arcade games.  Sure they have
miniature golf, batting practice, and go-karts, but their arcades
stink!  They call UMK3 a NEW GAME!!  Thats the latest thing they have.
I guess they think nobody in Englewood ever heard of Virtua Fighter,
Tekken, or Soul Edge.  They only have strictly 2-D games, Wrestlemania,
NBA JAM T.E., Rave Racer, Cruisin USA, and Killer Instinct.  I wish I
could tell the manager about their unwise decisions but who would

Write your reply.

assistant: I do guess i need to practice on games like MK3 to play longer, but I still
dont think its worth it. Ive already seen all of the endings (the only reason
to beat the game) by watching this other guy play.
As for N64 prices, Nintendo is trying to fit games that were ultra big in the
arcades (size does not matter in an arcade machine) down into a little
cartrige.  I heard of the high prices from EGM when it first previewed the
N64 back when it was Ultra 64.  Prices vary for different ROM types and
quality.  I 16 meg game may cost $80 because it uses expensive ROM types. But
I still believe even if Nintendo uses cheaper ROM's the prices will still be
high because alot of megs are needed to bring arcade exactness to the home.
Remember that N64 games are designed on SGI workstations that have gigabytes
of hard disk space.  Trying to put 16 million color images on a little cart
is quite difficult.
Well, i hope you write back, im bored...

user: You are replying to Marc Marshall about "Bang for the buck is going to be long fo22:38:0007/26/96".

Write your reply.

assistant: Your right.  Arcade managers have to set the machines to take 50 cents to
offset the high cost of the machines themselves.  Another factor I forgot to
mention is inflation.  Arcade games wont be 25 cents forever, but even at 50
cents you should get the same amount of playing time, not less.
Hopefully the fighting game gerne will stop hogging the spotlight soon so
that I can see more games that I really enjoy playing.  I like shooter games
the best (virtua cop included, my current favorite) and there should be more
pinball games in the average arcade.  World Cup Soccer get boring when you
get a replay every time you play (they changed the replay score since I was
getting so many) but I still have yet to 'beat the game' i.e. defeat the #1
team. My highest score was about 1,100,000,000 points.
