It's funny, Midway/Atari stuff keeps getting passed around from owner and owner and still somehow keeps ending up back in the possession of Warner Media, which owned Atari during the 2600 days.
I wish there was a way to play Midway arcade classics on more modern hardware. In this generation we can play almost every Japanese arcade game out there. Even Nintendo's arcade games are now available. But the arcade classics owned by one of the largest American media conglomerates in the world are nowhere to be found. At least Balloon Fight fills the Joust void pretty nicely.
I have an idea for a cage match. Quest 64 keeps crawlimg out of the grave and getting pummeled. Meanwhile, the champion decides to take on its biggest competitot in a rematch of the ages. The battle of two champions: Final Fantasy VII versus Ocarina of Time!
I understand Blue Reflection is getting a sequel for PS4/5 and Switch that releases next yeae.
I had the bonus disc and Wind Waker, but I didn't know they had a pack that included both discs.
I'm thinking about upgrading my MacBook Air. I considered a Mac min, but when you figured in having to buy accessories for it I feel I would be better off with a MacBook. I also understand that the new Apple chips make a lot of IOS apps compatible with MacOS.
I think truckers and college barflies were more interested in single player games than in competitive fighting games. A few truck stop Neo-Geo machines I saw even had Puzzle de Pon, an even more cutesy version of Bust-A-Move. There was also Battle Balls, which had the same sort of anime characters as Magical Drop in a match three gravity puzzle.
They also really liked Gals' Panic in truck stop arcades...
No. As I said, motion controls were a core part of Skywars Sword's design on the Wii, and they could not simply be removed from the game.
There were always Neo-Geo machines at Peter Piper Pizza, which is a big Arizona chain, usually running games like Bust-A-Move, World Heroes, Art of Fighting, or (later on) Metal Slug. They also had them at movie theaters, truck stops, and on military bases. Magical Drop was in a lot of machines placed in more adult venues.
You can't tell me that that somebody hadn't watched Back to the Future when they were working on Groose. He's definitely the "Jerk Jock" archetype, and not in the way you see in most Japanese works.
