...okay, so, um, this is Rufus. He's a super-smart AI computer that used to belong to SETI but um, I bought him at a government auction?

You know all those boxes I got last week? That was him.

...okay, one of those boxes might have been your present.



*Sigh*

Why didn't I tell her that you ran away from SETI? She'd think I was crazy or that I somehow got you here with my magical hacking powers, that's why!

A game of chess? Sure!

The arcade games being 4 player gives them a big advantage but even then I feel like TiT SNES pulls ahead of the arcade version for the Technodrome stage, extra bosses, screen throw, etc.

Other than that though the arcade games pretty handily beat the rest with better graphics and 4 player fun.

Out of what's left Hyperstone Heist takes next place for its faster paced gameplay and original Tatsu fight even if it is otherwise an inferior TiT knockoff (don't let any hipsters tell you it's better or harder; it's neither of those things). But I mean being a modified TiT is still pretty good. Just not as good.

I debated which to put last. My initial thought was III because Manhattan Project's hit detection and special inputs always felt a little wonky to me, but the selection of bosses are pretty cool and so are the stages. City streets that fall apart because you're floating in the sky, on top of a submarine, in the subway, etc.

Which leaves the NES port of the first arcade game last. Not that it's a bad game. I always liked the snow stage it added, with the snowmen robots and the new boss Tora (there was also the new boss Shogun later on but I never liked him as much). In fact the boss selection is actually better in the NES port than in the original arcade version. But in spite of having better bosses, overall it's inferior to the original arcade version, and doesn't stand up to the other console games.

Waste of money unless you just want a borderline passable pre-built minicab to mod.

Ahh it brings back memories, the old 4 player arcade machine. Similar in appearance to the simpsons machine and the Bucky o Hare machine which i've only ever seen a few times.


I mentioned to friends that I wanted to get a classic machine for when I get a bar installed and every time they start blathering on about raspberry pi based machines and how they're better because they have all the games on etc etc.


They just don't get it.

Earl Douglas Haig, Order to the British Army, 12 April 1918

So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

Build a 5-player Raspberry Pi cab just to emulate X-Men arcade.

I never played that one. I remember seeing it around though.

Favourite was always Snow Bros.

and Toki, which is getting a switch release I believe.
