I wonder, if String would bring back an X2, how much would it cost him.

Yes I do, if that is what he meant. I was there during the Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 2 tournament at Sg.Wang concourse area, siap naik pentas to challenge the other guy on big screens there. But I was not that good, so got T-shirt and poster oni. But it is the atmosphere that counts.

I also have a special place in my heart for Mortal Kombat II arcade. That is where I met my arcade kakis. We all first know each other there, and learn the secret fatalities from each other there, there were no such thing as Internet or messageboard to refer to, or find info on these secret moves anywhere. MKII last time we play was at Kotaraya arcade, so every end of the month we go down to S&M Arcade mall next door to the mamak magazine store and curi2 open the gaming magazine(EGM and GamePro) to see if the fatality moves are listed there. Then when mamak found out his magazines all koyak open already, we cabut!

Also nearly kena tahan by police during arcade raid once. That was during 1993 and the rules entering arcade alrady tighten up have to show IC make sure not underage then can enter. I forged my IC (dun ask me how) to look like I was above 18, because was addicted to MKII. Police raided the arcade there, but we managed to sneak out before they manage to cover all exits.

Another time also, my buddy had this Casio watch that can emit phone dialtones (kena ban right after phone companies find out) into phones so that we can make free calls.........to Japan! I am not bullshitting you, we woke up like 5 am, went to the KTM station payphone there(because we scouted out which payphone can be used to make free calls with using this Casio watch dialtones) and called Capcom Japan. I still remember the rep we called there, Saburi-san,we called at 7am(Japan time around 9am) he answered our queries on how to do those special moves on Darkstalkers Capcom arcade game. After that, what else!? Go arcade, try the codes out, and well, we basically got a crowd around our arcade cabinet looking at us and trying to see how we do the Anakaris multi-curse move, Hsien-ko spiked-ball-and-chain-ball drop special, or Donovan Baine's secret special move as well.

Crazy, crazy days! We all moved on, and most already married with kids, but when we meet up and reminisce, we looked at it with fond memories and sometimes wonder how stupid we can be doing all this for arcade games.

Dude, supergun is mainly an emulator of classic arcade games. me and gundam are fond of getting out own (he managed to find one seller in UK doing so at 100 pounds). I would love to have my own arcade cabinet (Dream Machine), but I need to find the right sources of cash first.

Not to mention the right age. Now I wanna see if it's possible for me to get an X2 from Japan without getting tax. the best part is, the machine looks very much like a computer, and you play games by placing the thumbdrives in it. neat eh? You should also view the Taito Viewlix cabinet. But I think mesti you've done so already.

Do me a favor though when you're in Osaka. I know you don't like it, but give a round on KOF XII. For me, and compare with SF4.

I wish I could, but I totally cannot play KOF12. I cant play KOF at all, I cant grasp the mechanics of the game.

Can you give links for the Supergun, X2 or the Taito Viewlix thingy? Like I said, I left the arcade scene after 2000, and did not kept myself up-to-date with the scene.

Busy skit lah brader. Tgh study. later2 lah.

What is Kyo buying? Hmm.
