Hailing an Arcade Cab
Dickey | 1:54 PM on 05.16.2008 9 comments




So about a half a year ago, i helped out a buddy with some college work. Took up a lot of my time and effort, and i would have been perfectly happy to do it with little compensation for reasons I wont get into. Anyway, this friend of mine seems to like collecting arcade machines, and as restitution for my long hours of help, he's told me that I'm eventually going to be the proud owner of a 1-Slot MVS machine with King of Fighters '98. Not my favourite one (I prefer '00) but it'll be awesome.

There are a bunch of reasons that this is awesome, not least of which is the fact that all of my favourite NeoGeo games come on MVS carts. The added bonus of this is the fact that NeoGeo games are STILL stupid expensive, and MVS carts are not (depending on the game of course, but i digress). Also, it'll make my apartment a sweet chill spot, provided my Fiancee doesn't bludgeon me to death with a bag of dicks because of how awesome (read: loud) the damn thing is.

I've thought up a library of games i want to acquire, and it is as follows, in no particular order:

King of Fighters '00
Samurai Showdown III
Last Blade
Last Blade II
Puzzle Bobble (for the ladies)
Garou: Mark of the Wolves

Now, my question is this: Anyone know any MVS games that may pique my interest? Lemmie know.

I'm still trying to jack a cab from my son's day care that has the original metal gear in it. Good luck on your cab adventures.
