Karate Champ (Before Street Fighter, before Mortal Kombat, this was the ORIGINAL one-on-one fighting game, and it OWNED)

 

Yie Ar Kung Fu is the orginal old school fighter

He speaks the truth.

His teleport special was so great since it was the only special capable of wiping out the entire screen of enemies. The way he jumped on enemies while they were down was a great animation as well.

Yes, Captain America & The Avengers is awesome.

 

I love the cheesy voice acting in that game. Red Skull's evil laugh is so funny!

 

 

I used Dazzler in X-Men.

Oh, if anyone is looking for the Rom of the X-men game

 

http://www.romnation.net/index/MAME/MAME_x

 

I'm pretty sure that the rom is one with 4 player and 6 player on it. I havent downloaded the rom myself to test it since I dont have mame, I just thought I'd give the link though.

 

Note: You need to vote to get the rom, otherwise you'll get a faulty rom.

Karate Champ was released a year before that other game you said.

dammit, how the hell COULD I forget Karate Champ? Way back when the game first game out, I was *one* fight away from beating the game, and my nerves got the best of me. Hell I still remember the high score I had... 210,500. If anyone here beat that game, let me know, because I always wanted to know what happened at the end.

 

Yie Ar was awesome, which (along with Time Pilot) was the reason why I bought the Konami Arcade Classics for the PS1... that and it was only 10 bucks at the time.

 

Also, Tag Team Wrestling was fun.... it actually had you learn about placement and tactics... I remember once doing a piledriver on the outside..... complete with a run-in by the manager who hit you with a cane..... that game was way ahead of its time.....

 

Speaking of side-scrolling beat-em-ups, data east made one that I have trying to find in emulation.... I can;t remember the name, but you could select from three characters (typical in that one was fast and weak, another average and the last one was slow and strong) It was unique because during a stage you could pick up pigs and they would turn into footballs which you could peg the enemy with.

 

Anyone know that one?

Anyone played Street Fighter(as in, the original). It's soooooo nasty.

 

It's like impossible to do special moves. The motions are the same as the now classic Ryu moves, but they never work. It's insane. The gameplay is so bad. It looks like ass too.

Oh yes, I remember it..... back when it first came out 1988 I think.... with the huge-ass button that would give you a different move depending on how hard you hit....

 

I'm in agreement, that game was pure ass, in looks and gameplay.

Sega's Spider-Man was a pretty pimp game. The scrolling was quite the effect back then. That graphical feature didn't gain more notoriety until the first Shodown showed up a few years later though.

 

And no arcade thread can go without a mention of...REVOLUTION X~! [/Tyler]

Sounds like Final Fight to me, but that was a Capcom game.
