Virtual Open Tennis and Street Fighter: The Movie.
Both by Acclaim AKA AkkLAME to many.

It's 9 shipped all together. Complete.

Actually, I hear some mixed reviews on VOT and SFTM. SFTM actually got ported
with the SSFIIT engine I read in a GameFan magazine.

And some folks think VOT is surprisingly fun.

I'll find out in 10 days or so...

SFTM is a disgrace...be glad you only paid $4.50. I got mine for free,
and still cheated...;)

Whats the actual problem with this game? Did they change the dynamics of
the game and how it plays, or is it just the fact that it is digitised
characters that ruins it?

Do they have redbook audio? Stick 'em in your CD-ROM drive to find out!

Heh heh...

Well I'm a pretty big SF fan. If it uses the SSF2T engine, I'm sure I'll get
my money's worth....

The Movie does seem very "small hit or miss."

Most people who review it either give it 1/10, 2/10 or 7/10.

Hopefully I'll fall in the 7/10 category... if not, hey, I still got Virtual
Open Tennis to fool around with. :-)

The digitized characters aren't too bad, they just look ridiculous at
times doing some of the moves. I am still trying to figure out if that's
actually Van Damme or a double....he moves a lot like him, I don't know.
At any rate, a lot of the moves and such either can't be done, or are
extremely hard to do now as the characters don't have the reach, etc. to
get them off. It's ok, just for kicks...but I would never play it
seriously. Oh, and another thing: The damage scale is out the fucking
roof. You can kill someone in as little as 2 combos....and, get this, it
takes about 3 to 4 special moves to charge your super meter. Most
matches consist of: special move, special move, special move, special
move, jump in combo, super, dead. That's it...

Are they missing from your list? I think I have VOT...got it on clearout
from TRU, played once, collects dust nicely. Is your list updated in real
time on the web anywhere I do I need to Google Group search the last
update?

I think Street Fighter: The Movie gets unduly bashed as a _game_.
Sure, the digitized actors look awful compared to the animated
sprites, but it's servicable. The important thing is that the game
still plays well, making it the best digitized fighter around, with
actual gameplay where Mortal Kombat has basically none. I liked how
Capcom kept the background super effect for a super K.O., and it still
is the only game you'll find Captain Sawada, for better or worse.

I liked Virtual Open Tennis as well, but I see _no_ reason to play it
with the vastly superior Tennis2K available. For the time the game
controlled and played well enough, but there's nothing special about
it that newer titles haven't improved upon to make it worth booting.

Benjamin, you seem like quite the "forgiving" gamer. You know, the guy who can
tolerate more than your average gamer.

So, let me put you to the test. What did you think of Saturn Contra: Legacy of
War? (if you've played it)

I've never played it for the record, but 99% of people who played it tells me
to avoid it like the plague. I probably won't go out of my way to get it
unless I spot it for 3, 5 bucks at a flea market.
