Fatal Fury Special or another FF game (FF3 or RBFFS) should be in that list!

Also Magician Lord, and Puzzle Bobble (Too bad it was MVS only). Both groundbreaking Neo games!

Hmm. Only top 10? This is the list I immediately came out with on top of my head=probably not accurate. It's from my collection (Carts or Cds):

-Mark of the Wolves
-Fatal Fury Real Bout
-King of Fighters 94 & 99
-Last Blade (I like it over #2)
-Samurai Showdown 2 (my brother likes #3--He keeps pulling off various infinites on me w/ Yuko, Rimmuruu, and...ugh. He also pulls off Secrete moves likes crazy -usually from the doll stance- in SS 2, but I have better chance of beating him on this version than the latter)
-Pulstar
-Metal Slug 2
-Aero fighters 2 (also over #3)
-Voltage Gowcaizer (not to deep or playable, but funny)

smallwood, let me ask you a question.

Didn't yo utry and make fun of me because I listed Art of Fighting 2 as one of my favorite games?? but I see it in your top 10 list.

And Nick...you like Galaxy Fight??
Most people say that game royally sucks.

This just proves that we all have different tastes.

"Dion" likes Digger Man, and I see a lot more people are starting to like it as well.

-------------------------------------

Your right when you say we all have different tastes. I have heard lots of people rag on Galaxy Fight. Too each his own. It is one of the more difficult fighters to master. It has a more difficult control scheme in which combos do not flow. Im not a fan of combo systems so that never bothered me. The game just had such a "fun" factor that I allways loved it. Everything from the character designs to the graphics were just right. I had pre-ordered it and got it on a Friday. Had a Galaxy Fight party at my apartment that lasted till Sunday. GF never left my neo for weeks. I lived on no-sleep & Potato chips till I could beat that game with every character. Everytime I play that game it brings back a good memory.

Yeah I also make fun of you cos yer a crack smokin' homo, but what else is new?

Seriously though, I can make fun of you and not try to make it this meaningful thing. I'm usually just messin' with your head, but you're too dense, too self-important, and serious to see it.

I mostly harangued you about that cos your OTHER fave is KOF 96, which I personally think is a bit lame, but that's just me. I like sidestep instead of rolling...

The prob with you is that you don't know the first useful detail about MOST neo geo games. You avoid a TRUE on-topic Neo discussion like the plague, cos you have nothing to contribute.

Now, is there anything wrong with that? NO....that is, unless you claim to be a Neo "expert", and in that particular role, you are sadly lacking.....

You can like crappy games, but it's funny, cos you'd think somebody as "neo godly" as you might have some more "collectable" titles as favorites. I guess it just goes to show that the unreleased games usually weren't released for a reason.

They were crap.

Thanks,
Billkwando
