For #OSThursday... September 5th, 1953, in a big city somewhere... Men making a stand against a gigantic crime begin fighting, keeping anger in their hearts.

The stream went well. No double KO this time but here I am, in real time, discovering the silliest weakness (WE BEAT THE GAME)

Tonight on the Gaming Hell Stream, it's time for the third Mega M- I mean, the third Roll-chan game! The manual says Dr. Wily's cleaned up his act this time, but I don't trust that guy. Should be fun!

(You might think that having an Arcade Archives title I've never heard of would, somehow, be a disappointment. Are you kidding me? These are the best kinds of Arcade Archives releases, a new arcade game to me! Hell yes!!)

I love this, thank you for sharing! And oh no, I suppose I'll have to get better at Tetris DS to find that Urban Champion reference, ta for the heads-up~ When I get to adding it, shall I credit you as benstylus?

Tonight on the Gaming Hell Stream, we're playing Mega Man 2! Or, rather, Roll-chan 2. I know a few things about this one- the boss weaknesses- but I've never played it through before the actual level themselves are a mystery. We should be fine.

And available now for everyone is this article on the fantastic Metal Gear Acid 2's defiant attitude towards the world at large. It'll be exactly what it damned well wants to be, and everyone can either love it or sod off:

As a reminder, while Gaming Hell is supposed to have site updates on the first of every month, we're still on temporary hiatus for now. I'm not sure when it'll return, but it will in time so please be patient with me and look forward to it.

In my desperation to find out what happened to Arcade Archives: Jackal in the UK (someone let me know it's on every Switch eShop store *except* the UK), I found Nintendo of Europe's 404 page. Cute.

She has that effect on people. There's no shame in being drawn in by that funny cat thingy. In any case, I'm glad new versions of the Type-Moon VNs are getting proper English releases at long last, so people can see them for themselves~!

(I had to delete and repost this thread because I put Far Side instead of Near Side and then everyone would know I was introduced to Tsukihime via Melty Blood and that I'm a fraud.) (Anyway here's Neco-Arc, this is what you wanted to see, right?)

This is the 1996 PC version updated for modern systems, so it is exactly the same in terms of content.

The original tweet said 'modern consoles' when it meant to say 'modern computers'. The person responsible has been fired, my editor's told me I just need to reapply for the job, like I do every day~

(If anyone has any notes on this specific version, please feel free to share- my PC in the '90s could barely run Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo so I'm a bit in the dark about this one!)

Some clarification on the spinner controls for Eco Fighters, it turns out MAME's implementation is a bit of a kludge, as it only had these controls in a location tesst version and actually does require an extra board to utilise it. Apologies!

The game itself is a bit reminiscent of Forgotten Worlds, and it even supported a similar spinner control for aiming on your weapon! The version on Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium doesn't support it sadly, but you can configure MAME to use it!

For comparison, here's the European flyer. A few companies (Capcom and Taito in particular) would often just translate the Japanese flyers for markets other than the US, so you get lots of lovely artwork like so~

PROFIT-DRIVEN ARCADE GAME FLYERS - Eco Fighters (Capcom, 1994) flyers.arcade-museum.com/videogames/s...

I won't lie, I have a soft spot for the specific phrasing of American arcade game flyers. They have to come up with SO many phrases and puns around coins, profits, earnings, it's not easy.
