Saw this today, didn't know if people had seen it. Pretty cool they made their own game and talk about original vs console versions. I don't know how I would feel about unlimited play though, I think it takes some of the fun away, I like to limit myself on credits like back in day when I was broke haha

This all is pretty sweet. Kudos to that guy!

Take King of Fighters XIII: "when this came out, there was nobody in the US who had it," said Mack. "The board by itself is $8,000, so I spent the $8,000 to get it... imported it from Japan."

I never understood why the Taito X series boards are so expensive. Even now, an X2 is like ~$800 and its just a Core Duo at best with a dated ATI graphics card.

Nice! It's funny how they needed fans where the row of multislot neo cabs are.
