    About KoF's Maxima, his name and backstory are definitely references to this game, but his design is taken from the fighting game The Fallen Angels, by Psikyo.

      I knew that and it's one of the many reasons why I so LOVE KOF 2000 & its Strikers' SNK gaming history cameos.
      Did you know that G Mantle is also a striker in KOF '00 & used to be SNK's mascot for Neo Geo back when this game came out, only to be replaced by the very up and coming blonde fighting legend he drove to the first unofficial KOF event in the upcoming next game in this series (NGH033)!?

    I was able to pickup a MVS copy of Robo Army last year at a great price and I’ve truly come to enjoy the game. The crunchy metallic sound effect whenever your attack connects with an enemy is oddly satisfying to me. But I was not aware of the A+B attack, thanks for sharing that fact!

    I love Robo Army Alec. Me and my brother were always playing Co-Op with it when we were growing up. We first recognized the game at a local Dairy Queen in New Jersey when me and the family were enjoying our Sunday afternoon having lunch. The manager was on his break inserting the game inside of a 4-slot MVS unit and he allowed us to play the game first on his expense for free. We loved it at first play. Which i can go back in time to experience that again. 8^)
    Thank you as always for sharing this and also watching it on your thread on AA Alec. 8^)

    This game is in my AES collection! I’m happy to play this on my console for play whenever I can!
    And I love how you narrated Hell Jeed! He reminds me of Towelie from South Park; though personally I imagine him sounding more like Ignaceous Mortimer Meen from that one DOS game of the same name: I. M. Meen.
    And no one except me apparently brings this up but Kraut Buster pays homage to the intro from Robo Army at parts of it’s own intro!

    They “don’t use that D button” because most arcades still only had machines with 2 button and 3 button panels in 1990~1991. (JAMMA standard was 3 buttons.)
    As you undoubtedly noticed with your chronological journey, most early NG games did not use the D button at all, or minor actions which were not essential to finishing the game. This was to ensure as many cabinets as possible would be able to host a MVS. This consideration all changed with the fighting game boom.

    • @BasementBrothers
      @BasementBrothers  2 роки тому +4

      Yes, I believe this was the case, although not SNK's official position. It's annoying for people who just bought a console with 4 buttons.

      That's from an old 80s Saturday morning cartoon called Turbo Teen. I think the change to and from a car was based on him getting to hot or something. I was really little when this aired, and it wasn't my favorite show or anything. It was probably on between two other shows I wanted to watch and I just left the TV on or something like that.
      There was a model kit of him, but it was just a GoBots model kit with the robot head swapped out with a human one.
      This wasn't a very popular show, and is only remembered because of its weird premise.

I think the 1st Neo Geo games had a strange feel, I do like Sengoku and Mutation Nation, but much like 8-Man and Magician Lord u don't really get that nice hit feeling when you attack.
