JL> VF Kids? hmm... dunno.. but i saw VF3 on several covers this month... It's true. VFKids should be out around Christmas I heard. It used the new technology used in VF3 ,but not as souped up. That way, it lookes more cute and cartoonie, like anything with the word Kids in it should. Although it looks like it might be les than desireable, it has ALL of the moves and characters (that's what it said in the mag) that VF2 has, just a new image. Enjoy.

Anyways, yes, I played all those tank maze games and the like, I know Pac man led to a million other Pac-clones, but fighting games have been the rage for about 6 years with no end in sight. I'm sorry, but the people at Capcom and Midway should be shot. Street Fighter 2 Beta? Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3? Talk about lack of ideas and ingenuity, geez, talk about too much of a good thing... What will be the next NEW thing? Nobody knows, but I pray it won't be anything connected with fighting games. --- FLAME v1.0/b * Origin: Add TSX-BBS, The Swiss Army Knife For TBBS! 508.429.8385 (1:322/360) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 169 ARCADE Ref: D5Q00009 Date: 05/20/96 From: CRAIG BAMFORD Time: 12:20am \/To: ERIK ROBY (Read 2 times) Subj: Re: Hate Fighters ******* On 06 May 96 14:44:09, Erik Roby Said.... -=> Quoting Eric Fishbein to Jay Smith <=- ER> ER> EF> So I'm not the only one?

More people were playing Super Street Fighter 2. Guess maybe the japanese have _taste_. :) And they are usually pretty good when it comes to games. Perhaps they know something we don't?
