hmmmm im thinkin about getting mk for my ds to see how it is. how is it??

ah, a gamer after my own heart, many a time i used to sit down with my sega mega-drive and me and axel, adam and blaze would go through the streets of rage,
i can still remember what the enemies look like and the backgrounds. it was greeeeeeeat!
and the different weapons, lead pipes, baseball bats and bottles it was so, so cooool.
have you tried danger city timberwolf, that is a close aproximation on s.o.r.
it was moddled on the old game but unfortunately never finished.
i think there's a url for it somewhere on this forum but i'm unsure now.

anyway, i like mortal combat trilogy, i got it for my tenth birthday 10 years ago, and let me tell you having ten years playing on a game you really get to know it well.
i can now navigate the char menu independantly having memorised where every char is on the screen, i also know severeal cheats for each char and the game.
i have also grown quite knowledgeable about tekken2, the best in my oppinion of the tekken series of games.
i can do moves for every character and i can quite confidentely beat most of the sighted relatives i have who care to challenge me. i like the game that much that i have actually recorded some of the sounds it has to offer using a headphones microphone and wavepad.
i have also two other sighted fighter games, i now own toshiden 2, a game spoken entirely in japeneise, however i still play on it from time to time, i have also bought soul blade, although i haven't mastered it quite yet, i still enjoy playing it.

i would love a mk esq game for the blind, it would be so cool.
if only i knew how to program, i've in my hours of spare time wrote out a storyline and char list for a street fighter / mortal combat game called strength and stamena.
maybe if i ever think to start programing i may decide to create it.
who knows?

not too sure about the rating for mortal kombat. but i am sure about my feelings for the game.
I, for one, own mortal kombat 3, mortal kombat trilogy, mortal kombat deadly allience, mortal kombat deception, and, hopefully by either next week or somewhen soon, mk armageddon, which i simply call "the armageddon".
The armageddon sounds great, creating fatalities... ultimate fatalities.... at that.
i don't know if yohandy, a person who made a 35 chain fatality, goes on this forum, but i have something to say:
same oves over and over again. but apart from that, good. but that part was not impressive, sorry!
but, when i get it, i'll try to put veriety in my fatalities, using sword actions, and as different moves as i can.
also, over 60 characters..... man!
and i tell ya what i'd really like...
those fatality notes/tones that are played, with on other sounds, theni can make paradi fatalities, like a sheep fatality or something. rofl rofl.
anyhow, really looking forward to mk a.
thanks.
regards,
aaron

Well, the nintendo 64 is stil a great system in my mind, and always will be, in fact,I'm selling my ps2. Why? Because there aren't as many good memories; and, also, I'm looking to expand my collection for nintendo 64 and gamecube.
Yes, the "times" may be ps2, but I'm a retrogamer. I love old systems, and, I spose I always will; however, ps2 games are great, for one I own tekken 4 and 5.
Are there any gamecube/n64/sega genisus accessible games?

thanks

If it is t or m then no thanks. Just thought I would post my thought on the rating. But if you could expalin it, I will search the rating on google if I can.

Ah well, a beat -em up topic, and retro gaming discussion at.

As to Mk, I have Mk1 mk2 and mk3 for the Snes, and as soon as I can find an appropriate attachment for my X arcade stick will look at getting Pc versions. I also have Deadly alliance on my gamecube, but haven't bought deception yet, mostly because I wasn't sure about the accessibility of the 3D adventure mode.

In general though, while i enjoy Mk, I have to say that I much prefer the plot, atmosphere and general feeling of the soul blade/calibur series. I have soul calibur 2 on my Gamecube, have a copy of soul blade, and am vaguely tempted to buy a Ps2 simply to get Sc3.

Another favourite series of mine is indeed the streetfighter series, which I've now (along with Mk), been playing for around 19 years, ever sinse it first appeared in arcades. Sf2 turbo was my very first Snes game (and I stil own it! and play it occasionally).

Oh

As regards audio beat em ups, I deffinately think something in this line would be good. I'm not sure yet of all the details regarding building block uses etc, but I am having some thoughts as regards an audio version of Golden axe with the Agm, though I'm not exactly certain yet how to do 2D games with it.

there's a link to the Danger city game on the pcs games site game list however, sinse the game comes with no instructions I found things a litle confusing. Pounding the various thugs was fine, but only a few steps in I came to some sort of bomb which I just couldn't get over whatever I pressed. Also, the up and down arrows didn't seem to do much in the game.

anyhow, hopefully if there is a way to produce 2D games with the Agm, an audio beat em up might be possible,----- maybe even one made by muggins here.

Golden axe has always been one of my favourites, ----- especially the amigar version which imho had deffinately the best music and ambience, even compared to the arcade (which I've recently obtained via mame).

I most certainly think the 2D beat em up genre in general would translate extremely well into audio, and I've always liked the fantasy theme in Golden axe, ----- pounding goblins and skeletons I find even more satisfying than introducing thugs to the pavement in Final fight and streets of rage and the like.

At the moment though, looking at the Agm manual, there are stil a number of things which I'm not clear on how to do using the Agm, particularly as I said, when related to 2D as opposed to 3D games. All will hopefully be revealed when the agm is released though.

Of course,if I actually knew how to program I might create the game from scratch, but sinse my Phd is currently most deffinately in the way, it'll be a very long time indeed before I can even think about that type of thing.

I'm not sure about coppyright issues with the music, ----- and i did rather fancy composing my own, though using the original stuff would certainly be good if possible, sinse it is great.

Sinse I collect game music, i'd be quite interested in the mp3's you mention anyway Timberwolf. I have the music to Golden axe 1 and 2 in Mega drive Jim format and the appropriate winamp plugin (2 has great music though it's imho the worse game), however, if you've got the arcade music (or better stil, the amigar version music), I'd deffinately be interested.

Personally assault freak, I'd highly recommend you get Soul blade for the Ps1 and play it on your Ps2. While i'm sure you can mame soul edge (only the console release was called soul Blade), the console game had loads of really nice features.

firstly, several extra chars, and unlockables, such as Han Sung myong, Sunmina's dad and Whang's master, evil sigfreed, and the chance to play as the boss, a Cervantes posessed by Sould edge.

the game also had video endings with propper acting, and each char would have two endings, one reached by putting in an unlock code at the right time.

Then, the major thing in the game was the storry mode. unlike in soul Calibur 2, the game had a unique story mdoe for each char, telling his or her own story, and collecting his/her s weapons on the way. Imho this tied things together a lot better than the random fantasy esque story set in a weerd world that you get in Sc2. Also, i did rather like the fact that a lot of 16th century genuine history gets into the story, such as the Japanese rades on the northern Chinese coast, and the problems of river bandits on the Yangsee river.

I was actually slightly disappointed with the story mode in Sc2 in this respect.

Everything's of course available on good old Gamefaqs, ----- though to save you the bother of looking up Soul blade I could always E-mail you my transcript of the story mode aka Edge master mode if you like.

As to old consoles, well while the MEga drive stopped being a viable console in about 1994, the Snes was actually having new games produced for it right up until 1996, a year after the Playstation's release. There's even a scene in Donkey Kong country 3 where a character is playing a nintendo 64.

Personally, I always go for what game's are available on a machine, and the snes and Mega drive had some absolutely fantastic ones, ----- some of which i've not yet tracked down myself.

As to street fighter, that's another reason i'm considdering bying a Ps2, ----- the Street fighter aniversery collection! That game series is cool, ----- and also has a great plot (see the appropriate plot faq on gamefaqs for details).

Hi-

Are these accessible for the totally blind? Also, is there a beat EM up for the gamecube- I'm selling my ps2. I was never really sure what motivated me to get one in the first place; however, I can remember playing mortal kombat for the nintendo 64 with a buddy of mine, and, I bought a gamecube recetly. I'd like to get back the 290 dollars I spent on the (used) playstation 2 and do something useful with it, such as buy some accessible gamecube/n64 games.
Is there a sk for gamecube?
Also, is there a geme similar to tekken for gamecube? What are all the accessible games for the gamecube, anyway?
And, I got my golden axe music from:

http://www.segaxtreme.net

You see, I used to be really,really interested in the sega cd, sega saturn, sega 32x and the like. Stil am, actually. Has anyone played accessible games for these consols? I'm looking to buying one; its just the feeling I get when I'm playing the game- wow, this is like 20 yrs old now!
I played streetfighter for the genisus; while I was never really a fan of it, it held a spot in my mind. Is sf available for gamecube? Is killer instinct available for t, too?

thanks

I believe there was a pal release of it, yes. But all in all, it's an awesome game. The coolest thing is, all three bouncers participate in every battle. In story mode, you choose one to control, and the other two are controled by the computer, and all three of you take on the thugs. The coolest thing about having a three-man team , is that each character has their own trinaty rush. This is an in-game seen where all three bouncers work together to thump out some particularly nasty attack to an opponent. An example of this is Sion's rush. In it, Cou punches an enemy straight to volt, who holds the enemy by the neck. In comes Sion, and with a cry of "here goes!", kicks the enemy's head like a soccer ball. It's great, because while the damage is trivial, the sounds are very good. Here are two samples I recorded of the game.

www.brandoncole.net

Go to gaming, then the samples section, then enjoy both bouncer samples, done by me. The second consists mainly of cutseens, but it's still good, it shows you what the sounds used in cutseens are made of, and that's good sound, believe me. Check them out, let me know what you think of them.

Ah. Almost as big as mine. King of Fighters wasn't a particular favorite. Like all die-hard MK fans, MK 3 wasn't too good. But MK2 was one of the best ones ever, and still is. For anyone who likes games like that, it's a good one to check out, referring to the Bouncer. Rise to Honor is a good one too, especially if you have sighted family who wouldn't mind helping with the parts that do require some sighted assistance, such as shooting and survival chapters.
