I'm not at all surprised that Capcom took over the beat'em up category the following year with Final Fight and the CPS hardware. What on earth did they put in the Double Dragon machines? A pocket calculator?) It's also basically the exact same game with worse controls. (Funny, I don't remember the earlier Renegade slowing down, and it had even more characters on the screen. The first Double Dragon had some of the worst slowdown in gaming history, which is so surprising for an arcade game. I can't believe they didn't fix the slow down for Double Dragon II. Did ROM chips cost so much in the mid-80s that they couldn't keep the other characters in the game (or god-forbid, make them playable)? I guess the two player mode might be fun, but I don't have anyone who I could play with at the moment. It's lost some of the charm by taking out the cameo characters in the crowd. I'm trying the sequels to both games now. So far I've finished Mat Mania and Double Dragon. (BTW, I don't know much about Windows, could I run MAMEUI 64 on 32-bit Windows 7? Would that even work? My Macbook can run 64-bit Snow Leopard apps, it's a Core 2 Duo) I tried MAME OS X, but it's no longer being developed and was showing its age.Īnyone interested in turning this into a perpetual MAME thread? I need some help with some games. Right now I'm using MAMEUI 32 on Windows 7 (32-bit) on my Macbook. Too bad game copyrights and the MAME software license prevent companies from building these things to take actual quarters and we can't see them around in restaurants, bars, train stations, etc. Maybe someday when I have the time and money I can build my own MAME cabinet and fiddle with those. Woah, some of those front-ends look astonishingly cool. They also have a FTP with all the artwork in one place, and DVDs, but those will cost you. Not really, but does the artwork come as one big download? Maybe when I do have the bandwidth.Ĭlosest I've seen to that is, which has a utility that will download the artwork you specify to match the games in your collection. The art/marquees/samples, if you're into that sort of thing, will basically double that.
