@[email protected] I used to read a lot of webcomics. Here's the link to the two decade old source through Internet Archive; Comic Genesis is still hosting the comic, but doesn't use HTTPS.

@OutofPrintArchive I never played the NES port, but I saw Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja in an arcade. Like the then-ubiquitous "Winners Don't Do Drugs" screens, the briefing on President Ronnie was something I was expecting to be parodied far more by now.
@[email protected] Oh no, Mythologies. I'm glad I only rented that. It was like the opposite of Super Smash Bros. approach to a platform fighting game.
@CodexArcanum @OutofPrintArchive "I wished they'd made a sequel too..." Silicon Knights was working on one, but they went bankrupt in 2014 after badly losing the case brought against them by Epic Games that SK had used unlicensed Unreal Engine 3 code in Too Human and X-Men: Destiny.

@[email protected] They really just gave away the plot twist? Ugh.
"Seems that miserable old Nintendo didn't want us downloading our family's faces into the game and shooting them to bits."

@OutofPrintArchive Julian's comment calling Ninja Gaiden a beat 'em up is odd to me, like calling Super Mario Bros. a pipe maze.
@OutofPrintArchive Another contender on The Worst Fighting Game feature. "They couldn't afford to get a traditional blue screen, so they bought a tan-colored screen -- practically a tarp -- and nailed it to the wall in their living room."
@[email protected] "Rise of the Robots was one of the biggest hits of the whole Earthshow..." I'm very sorry for them.
@[email protected] I know almost nothing about Monster Hunter, but the song from "The Phantom Uragaan" rocks.

@[email protected] I'm still not sure why the authors of Marvel vs. Capcom articles thought SonSon was female around this time rather than young.
This seems like one of the earliest instances of Red Bull in gamer culture. I thought Bawls was the dominant energy beverage trying to replace caffeinated sodas in the niche, but maybe that was regional.
MvC2 was a good port on Dreamcast (thanks to the arcade version being on NAOMI), but my fingers did not enjoy the triggers on its stock controller.
