      • House of the Dead 2: Pretty good. Nice effects, perfect 60fps, very fun arcade shooter.
      • Marvel Vs. Capcom: Fun, even better when I bought one of those Agetec arcade sticks. Arcade perfect, which is nice because it was written for an entirely different system. Then again, Soul Calibur is infinitely better than its arcade counterpart, so...
      • Crazy Taxi: Arcade perfect, again. Perfect control as well. And lots of fun. 60fps, beautiful scenery, and if you get S class by arcade rules you get to see some lovely scenes from your previous game rendered somewhat differently than normal; I mistook it for FMV the first time I saw it, until I noticed some screwups I'd made in my game.
      • Sonic Adventure: Very good, lovely graphics. My only gripe is that everyone's quest is much shorter than Sonic's. But then again, for Big this is a good thing.

I used to be all over games like Joust (all-time favorite), Tempest, Space Invaders, Galaga, etc. In fact I would still play quite a few of the old games if I saw them around (especially Joust).

It's the only game series I can think of that actually got *harder* with time, even after the transition to the PSX. RT3 runs perfectly in snes emus too. ;) It's a matter of looking at the genres.

      OK. I'm what you might call a Virtua Fighter obsessive, so I feel qualified to field this one.

      The key things are:

      1) Competition. Most fighting games are pretty ordinary as single player games. The real action is multiplayer. A group of friends that play together regularly (winner stays on) or (adrenalin rush) challenging random players at the arcade is really, really fun.

      2) Knowledge. It is critical to pick a game you like (because of how it looks, what it's called, the skimpiness of the female characters outfits, whatever) and _get good at it_. Play it a lot, and learn it properly. Once you have one game down, the basics of timing and strategy are transferable.

      3) Strategy. Once you know what you're doing, it's all down to reflexes and strategy. Some games favour reflexes, but any (good) fighting game allows someone with average reflexes (like me) to a beat a 14 year old with no strategy. Range, timing, offence/defence, counterattacking, feints, fakes, all of these things are useful in any decent fighting game.

      4) Combos. This is the creative side of fighting games. It just means creating sequences of moves that you know have a good chance of doing big damage to your opponent. Most games allow you to do float combos (where you knock your opponent in the air, then punish them as they "float") which tend to be very enjoyable. Some moves will be very tricky to pull off, so the feeling of managing it in a real fight is satisfying (go look up SPoD somewhere VF is discussed...).

      The basic idea -- to me anyway -- of fighting games is to mimic the _strategies_ of a real fight, but modified so that (1) it's not over in a couple of seconds and (2) it looks flashier (all those spinning, jumping kicks that would get you killed on the street can be thoroughly abused in a game!).

      Good fighting games: Street Fighter (2D, but tuned to perfection), Virtua Fighter series (VF3tb is latest and greatest).

      Bad fighting gamse: Soul Calibur (loads of fun, but collision detection is too dodgy/random), Tekken (same problem, plus too easy).

      Give it a try! Dreamcast (which spawned this thread) is currently fighting game console of choice. And the standard joypad is fine... don't listen to the whingers!

Also, they provide more interaction than an RPG--it's just more fun to beat up your friends than beat up the computer.

    Does anyone know how the CPS2 Emulation project is coming along? I can play Capcom System 1 games (up to Street Fighter 2: Turbo Champion Edition) on my PC using Callus and MAME, but everything from Super Street Fighter 2 onward (including this game, Marvel vs. Capcom 2) cannot yet be emulated. I walk into an arcade, look at Puzzle Fighter 2, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Street Fighter Alpha 3, and I just sigh.

    Now, maybe I'm a cheap pirate bastard because I'm not buying the games. But it would be a waste of money for me. I don't own a PlayStation, Dreamcast, or Nintendo64. And why should I? My PC is just as good, and it can "grow with me" -- I can upgrade it as time goes by, and still play most of my old games. But a game console becomes obsolete and unsupported after only four years (or less). Furthermore, the only thing you can do with a game console is play games. While some of the modern consoles can browse the Internet and play MP3s, they will never approach the versatility of a computer. On my PC, I can program, use word processors, spreadsheets, databases, tweak my system for better performance, customize it, etc. How much of that can you do with a game system?

    Why doesn't Capcom release these games for the PC? The PC clearly has the processing and graphics horsepower needed. Look at the PentiumIII, the AMD Athlon, and the various 3D cards.

    It's good to see that some games are being ported (like Final Fantasy 7 and 8), but I'm afraid the games I really want to play will only ever be on the game consoles.

    Worse yet, you need to own all the current game consoles to enjoy all of your favourite games. If you own a PlayStation, you can't play Super Smash Bros. or Mario Party. If you own a Nintendo64, you can't play Final Fantasy 7. I find it strange that a world that couldn't tolerate two video formats (VHS and Beta) is perfectly happy with multiple game console platforms with incredible incompatibilities, mostly deliberate.

    Does anyone know what the matter with the game industry is? Why do I have to buy what will soon be a $300 doorstop to play Crazy Taxi? Why can't I play it on my PC? Could it be that some game makers, like Capcom, are "in the pocket" of Nintendo or Sony? (i.e. Nintendo or Sony are paying them?)

      Okay, just a few things. One, a good source for information on CPS2 emulation is CPS2 Shock. Apparently they're still working on the encryption.
      Two, MvC2 is NOT, I repeat, NOT, a CPS2 game. MvC was, IIRC (if not, then it was CPS3, but I don;t think so). MvC2 is written for the Sega Naomi board (aka the dreamcast). Therefore it'll be a while before home computers are able to emulate it.

      And, maybe it's just because I'm broke, but I rather like that they're coming out on consoles. Look at it this way: most video game consoles simply DONT CRASH. Computers do. A good computer will cost a hell of a lot to keep up to date enough to run these games at resolutions and framerates that they do in arcades and on consoles.

      Of course, maybe I'm just saying this because I got my Dreamcast for free. But my PSX and N64 were stolen from me a while ago; I replaced my PSX, but not my 64... because there simply aren't that many good games for the N64.

      I take issues with your assertion that consoles like the dreamcast will be $300 doorstops. Sure, it probably will be in about 3 or 4 years (average life of a console), but your computer will need to be upgraded several times in that time, which will cost more than a console.

      There's a good reason why more console and arcade games aren't released for the PC... hardware compatibility. These companies can write code, and use a compiler for the arcade board, and even write directly to the hardware, all without worring about how different cards will interact with that, because they only have to consider what's there. There's nothing else. PCs however can have any number of different configurations, and it can interact weirdly.

Whether or not this change is for the better obviously remains to be seen, but look at the sheer number of fighting game series on the market that have different button setups: Samurain Shodown, King of Fighters, Soul Caibur, Tekken (different, of course, for Tekken Tag Tournament), Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Dead or Alive.... the list goes on. Besides, the tagging buttons are in the same place, and the engine remains unchanged. It's really just a matter of re-learning the Magic Series, and how hard can that be?
