Fatal Fury Collection Vol1


When Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition reigned supreme at the arcades, there were no decent console games that I can remember. Enter SNK's NEO GEO machine. At a whopping $650+ these machines can duplicate the arcade games right in the comfort of your own home...if you were willing to shell out $200+ per game. I worked hard for $4.80 an hour to build up a collection of games. My favorite at the time was Fatal Fury and then Fatal Fury 2 shortly after. I must have played FF2 about 2-3 hours a day for many months, but no matter how good I thought I was, the last boss, Wolfgang Krauser beat me like the stupid booger that I was. Man, I loved those games.
Now SNK wants to bring some healthy retro luvin to PS2 owners everywhere..in Japan. This awesome collection contains Fatal Fury 1-3 and Special in one disc with online play. Lovely. I wish they would do this for XBOX Live Arcade, but it would NEVER be anywhere as cool as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat.

And Speaking of UMK3 for Live, I thought Live arcade games were supposed to be under 50 megs. How are they gonna squeeze every frame of animation with backgrounds and other junk in such a small file? Just curious.
