Pirate Talk / When did you first come across pirate games?

Do you still have any of those mags, game rags, with the Master Fighter II articles in it?  Would be nice to see some scans.[/quote]I'd have to check, but I don't think I saved any of them. I tossed almost all my game magazines in the trash around 2000 or so, the only one's I hung on to were my Gamefans and a few odd issues of EGM, Mega Play, and VG&CE.

EGM was the one that had the pics and information about Master Fighter II.

Something I always wish I kept were some older Gamepro magazines that had full page ads of game copiers in the back. They usually had some generic fighting game character art super imposed over the copier along with a bunch of bullet-point features that never actually came out and said it was a copier. Since most of them supported Goldfinger codes they'd usually try to pitch it as a cheat device or some other nonsense.

My first unlicensed game cart was probably either Captain Comic or Silent Assault for the NES; and I remember a few months later searching the used bins at Babbages (anyone remember them?) and walking out with F15 City Wars, Tiles of Fate, Dudes with Attitude, and Venice Beach Volleyball, the latter 3 were boxed.  Good times and good memories.  And from there I just built a knowledge and a nice collection of games over the years, via trading, and the like.[/quote]Babbages, EB, Software Etc...what a blast from the past.

First stuff I picked up were some Tengen titles, I remember the goings on during the Nintendo lawsuit and passed on Tengen Tetris a few times (which I always kick myself in the ass for). Following the Tengen affair let me know what unlicensed carts were and how the companies operated, but I never new that I was buying games from Sachen or whoever when I picked up AVE games, I just knew they mostly sucked  :dance:

First time I ever actually came across pirated stuff was back in the SFII wave around '93 or '94 and a few gaming rags had some info about Master Fighter II. Made it my quest to find it (yeah, I keep my life goals lofty like that).

Is there an ending screen to any of the games, or do they just continue on and on at higher difficulty?

Does this game support the Menacer?

I don't own a Menacer to test it, and I'm not sure if the Menacer is emulated in any emu's. It would be absolutely insane if it did, being that the Menacer is only compatible with a whopping *two* games (and one of them was bundled with it), and I don't know if it was even released outside of the North American or European market.

1993-1999 / Have a better picture of this Mario Super Fighter III artwork?
« on: June 20, 2013, 03:46:27 AM »
Does anyone have a better scan or picture of this artwork? I've never seen it anywhere else, it looks pretty cool. It is on the back of the Super Fighter III hack that features Mario.

The protection routines have been documented and implemented in those emulators, but the ROM itself has not been patched fully to work on things other than those 2 emulators. I'm sure Papa Smurf will let us know when he decides to make the game public.

It still blows my mind this thing supports the Justifier. Has anyone even seen a Chinese/Russian Justifer knockoff? I've seen a few guns packaged in with FC/MD combo systems, but the gun always only works on the MD side.

I'm glad to see Mr. Smurf saved this thing from obscurity and is wanting to get it out there. I remember us talking about that from an auction site a while ago and figured it was pretty much lost for good.

Discussion Center / How long have you been a night owl since?
« on: June 06, 2013, 09:28:48 PM »
I go to sleep around 6 or 7am, I try to get in bed before the sun starts to rise. I've been on 3rd shift so long anything else throws me for a loop. I guess it's been that way for 8 or 10 years now.

I'll agree with you on a lot of your points, but I don't think it's quite fair to put SFT in the same league as anything to do with Cheetahmen II. That's like an entire different level of pathetic cash grabbing and it amazes me that it went over like it did.

A lot of the current homebrew scene is collector stupidity. Underestimating your product's potential to sell (Pier Solar, Beggar Prince) is one of those business decisions that's easy to criticize in hindsight, but the general retardedness of some collectors baffles me. To order a game purely as a "investment" or whatever in hopes to resell at 4x price later, then find someone with more money than sense to actually pay that is crazy. I saw an auction for Oh Mummy! go for above $200 USD a few weeks ago. That's ludicrous someone was asking that, and even more crazy that some chump paid that amount.

I doubt you'll ever be able to contact anybody about the SNES stuff. There's no apparent developing credits other than DVS, who more than likely was just a publisher.

Was the game you're talking about a hack of Toxic Crusaders?

Mega Drive/Genesis / Help Identifying Taiwanese MD game
« on: May 21, 2013, 12:53:52 AM »
For the life of me I can't identify that. Whatever it is, I want to play it! Looks kind of like a beat 'em up from what I can tell.

Is that a snowboarding level?

This has really piqued my interest, I hope someone can identify it.

So what exactly is this? Is it original or a clone of something?

Meka runs it just fine.

Jang Pung 3 is amazing on several different levels. It's one of the best SMS games in the entire library and the best unlicensed one-on-one fighter on any platform. To think they went from the unplayable dogshit that Jang Pung II is to the awesomeness of 3 in one year is mind blowing.

Cool, thanks for the link.

What is that song at the main screen? Not the title screen, but the one after that with the crow and the tombstone?
