Well, after a little bit of searching (and being really anal), I found the page in the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20010426060427/www.neogeo.co.jp/gextuka/1coin/special.htm" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>. Not all of the pix are available, nor some of the media, but oh well, at least now I get to see what was there. Enjoy!

Looks like MOTW characters..I like MOTW.
I don't know anything about the post itself..
I was curious to see what was in the link..

But I don't know how to change it to English.
I'd like to read it..

What it is, is if you win Last Blade 2 using just one coin, you were given this "secret" web site to visit. It was only supposed to be up for a limited time, and you weren't supposed to be able to access it without the password (which, if you've ever won LB2 on one coin, the password was ELEPHANT). I didn't get into the Neo until well after the shut down date for the site, so I never saw it.

I wanted to translate it using that Babel Fish thing, but every time I tried, it kept erroring out.

Thanks a lot for the link!!

I have already heard about this website, but I have never seen it.
The idea of putting a kind of link between an arcade game and the web is cool, and we can see with battle gear 3 that the system can truly work and give awesome results.

Oh wow! It's been ages since I could see that page. I remember when I first saw the message for the elephant password. It was one of the coolest things they did back then, to make a page available to those that beat the game on a credit. :)

SHit dude, the only thing I regret is the fact that I didn't start in on the Neo until well after SNK died. I totally missed the whole site by what, 3 years?

If anyone has the time and wants to look for other things, the internet archive has archives of all kinds of stuff. Crazy.

The first page says something like:

<strong>Here's a little something from the development staff.

These are nothing special, but please take a look anyway.

First, click on the thumbnail of the character you are interested in.

You need Real Player to hear the messages from each character.</strong>

Clicking on Kaede gets you:

<strong> Click here to hear a message from Kaede.

Click on these links to see character designs.

Here is a message from the character designer:

'I hope you had fun. Congratulations on clearing the game on one credit!' G0-WADA</strong>

It also says something about X-death being a moron, but we knew that already.
