Okay, who else got really pissed that when the NGPC was canned that we never got to see Ikari Warriors: The Return? I know I was.

I kind of was. I liked Ikari III: The rescue and especially II: Victory Road.

O well..

I've often wondered how close to completion the code for Ikari was?
Will it be like Alien Vs Predator on the Lynx, and will we see half finished screen shots appear on some web site one day?

Don't think so ,SNK is much more closed then Atari ever was.Atari history is scattered all over the world.

Now that would be cool to see but I don't know if I could handle it. It would be extreme torture on the eyes. I'm angry. <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" /> But I don't want to weep at seeing them! <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

Awwww, well it's early days yet!

I'm sure a few unfinished games got dug up for the Jaguar and Lynx, completed and released. They are pricey at £50, but considering some nutter had to get carts made that’s rather reasonable.

Perhaps we may get lucky one day... :D

They are probably sitting in some Playmore/SunAmusement/NeogeoHK office right now...gathering dust <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

I was really looking forward to both Ikari and KOF R-3...I even remember having a discussion with someone about how they'd do the control system on Ikari (best vote was a Shock Troopers style system)

Buyrite actually has Ikari warriors for NGPC listed on their site, with a message that states "E-mail" for the price entry.

Why doesn't it say "pull my finger" instead? :rolleyes:

And what happened with Windjammers? This title will had increased the cable link selling by 1000%!

Ow man, Ikari Warriors, Magician Lord, Super Puzzle de Pon, SNK racing game (featurnig KOF stars, like mariokart), etc ...

Ah, maybe one day we will see the prototypes, or why not, the real finished games with a PLAYMORE logo on it! Just dreaming :p

Will we see a KOF-R3 linking with DC version of KOF2000? :rolleyes:

Buy Rite has a damn link for Ikari and saying call? Morons. I'm not even going to look at that site.

Yeah, I was not only really looking forward to Ikari Warriors, but also Magician Lord. I always did wonder though, was it going to be a port or a whole new game? Did anyone ever read or see any screen shots on that? In fact, what about the Ikari game? Port or new? Interesting to ponder or discuss I guess...

Shit... Now I'm depressed... <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

Ikari Return was actually the final decidor in my purchasing a NGPC. :( I'm still happy though cause First and Second Mission rocked so much on it (along with pretty much every other non-pachinko/reversi title on it).

I'm glad to see people on here who remember how cool the original Ikari Warriors games are. I beat Victory Road on one credit one time but could never do it again. :( I love those games, I even had it planned somewhere how a fourth Ikari game would be on the MVS and how perfect the controls would be and everything. Just wish I could program on Neo Geo hardware. ;p
