I WILL DANCE A JIG FOR YOU MAN! CONGRATS! That is prolly the best Beat Em' Up ever. I too was giddy awhile back when I got my copy of the PCE Duo version after 8 years of searching. Though that wasn't something I won. ACES! Now go and play it man... play it like you stole it!

I take it you have not played "Kunio-kun no Jidaigekki Da Yo Zenin Shuugo". Same series. I shit you not when I say it's 10 times better. Let's just say when I got my super 8 converter so I could play my famicom games again (it had been about a year since I had last played them) I actually shed a tear.

That's my daily plug for this game.

Edit: Rant #2 for the day. Pyro, don't say "I just won..." because you didn't win anything. It's not a race of any sort. EBay is smart. They use that word to reel in repeat customers. Always be conscious of such trickery.

Heh, I know this is true, I'm just stoked on getting a complete RCR for under $20.00 :)

Is this the Kunio game that takes place in ancient Japan that I once saw pics of on someone's website. The characters are in Karate Gis and fighting near Shinto Shrines and Buddihst Temples? Just wondering cause I'd like to know more on this.

True brothaman, preach on. It's a game worth getting caught up in the moment for. I'd say it's the one that started my gaming rampage.

YES!!!!

The music is awesome.

The backgrounds are awesome (great color and detail... it's insane).

People play RPGs and say the characters are customizable... bullshit. This game can do that better. Besides buying items which power you up, you can, at any time, change your strength. At default, your punch/kick/defense/etc. is 10% a piece, but you can lower one by 10% and add it to any other category. If you want your punch to do an extra 80%, but you don't want any weapons ability, go for it.

This game fixed a major problem with RCR, and that was when you played it two player, you played for an unnecessarilly long period of time because you had to split the money between you and your friend. This game takes care of that problem by allowing one player to switch to a previously defeated boss who joined your side (bosses have their own unique moves and are generally stronger than your character... so you can switch directly to him without spending hours saving up cash for costly items). Not all the same bosses join you each time you play, and there are like 20 to play with/upgrade, so you can play this game over and over again.

Also, this game works with experience points. When you level up, you get new moves. There are 40 some odd moves in the game I do believe. The new moves you learn are random... and you won't always get moves when you level up. This adds a lot to the replay. You can also look for some secret shops to buy your favorite moves if you haven't already leveled up to them/didn't receive them when you leveled up.

The game has insane replay value.

EDIT - if you have any further questions about it, just ask. Oh, and yes, it does have a story... and an ending. :)

Double edit... man... just thinking of more stuff to add. I started this game up with my friend and we are about 4 hours into it. The game is LONG (there is a battery save function :) )

Edit: Doh! Double post quote edit thingy... blargh!

Besides Ebay, know where I can pick up a copy of this Famicom game Forever? Now that you've built it up with that elaboration I feel a new Kunio Game Finding Quest is in my future! :D

Man, I use to have a few of them. EBay is the only place I know. This game pops up there every few months.

I'll just ramble on a bit more until then.

This game has the coolest weapon in the world... the bucket. You can throw it on enemy's heads and watch them run around like beheaded chickens. Of course you can beat them to death with it too... but it's a good change of pace. Another thing I like about the weapons is the detail. With the metal sword, you don't do the same animation as you do with the other weapons. You actually "poke" with it. And with the rock, if you kick it, it rolls... it doesn't just slide along the ground. Small details like that go a long way to let you know the company cared, and paid good attention to what they were doing.

Also, you may know this, but there was a reason that all the characters are pallete swaps. Their attributes (punch/kick/weapon/etc power) are determined by what kind of head they have.
