have seen it the second.  I'd say the name difference was unusual, but
recently I've noticed name changes everywhere, including arcade games.
    I'd love to play it again, so maybe if I check out some arcades I'll find
Tower of Doom. How far have you gotten on it?  Like I said before, I only got
to level two.

Write your reply.

assistant: A custom combo is a special combo that you can do whatever you want.
 You don't need to charge to level 3, you can excute the custom combo at any
level, but the amount of time depends on the level, so if you're at level 3,
you have more time to perform the custom combo than on level 1.  To excute
your CC, press ANY 2 PUNCHES AND 1 KICK, or ANY 2 KICKS AND 1 PUNCH and there
 you go! It's not super moves, it's just regular moves but added hits and
multiple projectiles.
 You just throw fireballs but a lot of them!
your
 I'm not sure about the time added back to the super bar when you get hit.
  Also, once you perform your CC, your character will move forward and if the
 opponent, you still face the direction where he was, so the enemy can attack
 you while your defenseless.
 One more thing, if you perform CC finishes (both rounds) on the first 3 CPU
opponents.  You'll fight a "mid-boss." You'll know you've done it correctly
when you're about to face your 5th opponent but the screen will say "Here
comes a new challenger"

By the way, those RPGs are pronounced Fy-nall Fan-tass-ee, Fan-tass-ee

 Sakura's midboss should be Ryu instead of Sagat in my opinion.  Anyways did
you know that the CPU pattern is the same as SFA?  If CPU Ken have 1 level
charged, I would do a hurricane kick away from him and he'll do his super.

is dismal- there hasn't been an original idea in 6 years.  The arcade
companies seem to be falling back on their laurels, they see that fighters
make money, so that's all they make.  What was the last original arcade game
you can remember?
        There really isn't much to take me into the arcade that isn't on my
home machine, and there lies the problem for many people.  Certainly VR up to
this point hasn't gotten anyone into the arcades, and not much else has

the Dark Elf and the Beholder was awfully hard.
Anyways, I hope that you are able to find it in one of the local arcades
since admittedly the game is getting, if not already, considered old.

to rely upon a cart based system.  This should create a major
problem in their competition, the cart will not be able to

They should have upgraded to a CD rom, they have one in the works
