A magazine about old school video games

Speaking of embarrassing.
Here is Next Generation magazine with another brilliant take.

This time on the Dreamcast port of the legendary King of Fighters '98.

PS this version was titled The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 as it came out a year later.

2/5....
Sure thing, buddy... :huh:

Absolutely.
There are tons of 8-bit games that hold up way better than some of the garbage that has been released the past couple of years.

Old shouldn't automatically mean bad. That's just silly thinking.

Heck KOF 98 is 20 years old in a couple of years and it's still one of the best fighting games ever created.
So reviewing it 2 years after its original arcade release and writing it off a old, outdated garbage makes me never wanting to take said reviewer seriously again.

@[email protected] In fact in my opinion the one thing that makes KOF 98 feel more dated than Third Strike is the sprite scaling and that's the most technologically advanced part of the game, haha.
