I agree, Namco really should release a sequel to that classic. Although, Worlds scariest police chases on PSX looks kinda similar ( One guy driving, another guy shooting) <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

The greatest thing that ever happend to the Romans were the Germanic tribes such as the Vandals- hence vandalism and the Goths. They rebuilt in their image the corrupt empire. The germanic tribes gained agricultural technologies, architecture etc. The germans had a moral structure and the capacity to rule and coexist. Remember the Romans practiced homosexuality and killed off many a celt, german and others. And for the huns, good riddens.

This is obviously directed at my signature!! WHY???

Thank you mike its nice to see something like that! <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

Sorry this is not on topic but-
Your signiture pisses me off...

I think SNK eventually became so popular with its own series that eventually they stopped competing directly with Capcom, making fun of them and such, as was most evident in The King of Fighters '94 with Rugal's statues. Besides, after that Kyo/Iori business started SNK really started catering to the Japanese market far more than to any outside one, and genre variety on their part took the single largest nosedive it will ever take.

The content of the signature in question doesn't really bother me (I've never even read all of it until you singled it out), but the fact that it's longer than many people's actual posts is very irritating.

Ahh! Those day bring a tear to my wondering eye!

samurai showdown and world heroes were really popular at that time.
