To b honest with ya'll, I'm not very fascinated by all these simulators,
though I have never been of all those Fighter-games around...  I don't really
know what I am looking 4 in the arcade, but I have a feeling that games r
getting a bit 2 realistic, which takes away some of the escapism which was
he
reason I used 2 go 2 the arcade.  Nowadays, when I enter the arcade, I don't
have the feeling I used 2 have.  Everything is just a reproduction of
eality,
instead of the complete nonsense games that required imagination 2 b made and
played (I think Pac-Man is a good example).

Write your reply.

assistant: Sounds like u have seen the light...  One problem, a few things that could b
improved in an arcade...
First of all, whatever game one is playing, it will run perfect on the
machine, 'cause that is what it's made 4.
Second, the costs 4 the machine is 4 the arcade, so if you'd insert a
uarter,
you'd b able 2 join whoever is playing, and not having 2 have an actual PC at
home
Third, usually when u play thru a link, u know who u play with, that would
ot
b the case in an arcade.
Fourth (I might keep on going 4 a while), the speed of the modem would have
been ajusted 2 the game u r playing, and the other way around.  Everyone
ould
have the same transfering speed, and would not b independant of the guy/girl
with the 2400 Baud modem.
Fifth, you don't have 2 configure the whole thing, it'll work!
Sixth, if u get bored with the game, u just go 2 a different machine.
Seventh, 640k isn't enough 4 everybody (mem stuff).
Ofcourse there are also advantages 2 the PC (like privacy, keyboard and a
bunch more).  But that is not the point.  What I m trying 2 say is that the
C
has as many disadvantages as it has advantages.
Well, have fun with your perfect machine,

assistant: I'm replying to you again here. It's about the thing where you said it would
be better than the cd version. Because of no loading time? Who gives a damn
about loading time? Unless it's about the shang tsung morph thing. All I care
about is if it is arcade perfect. But since there is no arcade thing...I just
want it to have what they say it will have. It's pretty obvious that cd's are
the storage medium here. Why do I want to pay an extra 100 to 200 bucks for
some stupid bulky drive JUST so I can play some more n64 games?

Universal Studios some other time.  When we went to the Magic Kingdom, all
they had in their arcade were Sega games and a FEW Namco, but mostly Sega and
ONE Killer Instict game turned up loud with no blood (of course) and Tekken
.
NO SOUL EDGE!!!!!  I was disappointed in them, so I won't be going anymore
unless I really want to.  The Palm beach Mall is less than 15 minutes away
from me, but they plan on taking it down later in the years and are currently
building a mall out in Royal Palm Beach.....FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR away from
me...I hate it!  Maybe I can go to Grand Prix later....there's ALWAYS someone

 that it might work just like Evil Ryu's and Original Dhalsim/Zangief.  You
see how Ryu has to move over to Akuma's picture to gain most of Akuma's
moves?  Or how about starting at Zangief and move in a spinning piledriver
motion to be Original Zangief?  So maybe there are codes that are similar to
 these.
