Officially, Cyberbots was Japan only. I know that our arcades didn't really care whether it was Japan-only or whatever, but I never found a Cyberbots machine back then. I think it came out around 1997 or 1998, during Capcom's CPS2 days. Perhaps Capcom thought the west wasn't ready for this kind of game?

As for Rise of the Robots, well, the game did suck. But man, those were some killer graphics back in the day. Back when everyone used hand drawn sprites or digitized graphics, these guys were using 3D Studio, and boasting about using ray tracing techniques. I remember drooling over magazine previews for the game, and couldn't believe such graphics were possible. Too bad the game played like balls. Like, even the stupid special moves were hard to successfully perform.

I remember there was a couple of cyberbots arcade in Sungai Wang way back in the day, there is actually 2 cyberbots game. It started with a beat them up (final fight type) first then moved on to VS fighting. Can't recall if Sungai Wang have both or one of the other.

u know lah during that period of time everything was street fighter

yeah man, ROTR was really something visually the audio and soundtrack were decent too but the thing that really sucks was gameplay, controls and story.

Holy shit I was wrong. Cyberbots was a 1995 game! No wonder I never saw it. I was not actively playing in arcades during that time. Form 2 student, no access to "friendly" arcades. Seriously, who the hell thought that only 18 year olds and above play games?

As for the prequel game, it was something called Armored Warriors (Powered Gear in Japan). Yet another Capcom game I missed, due to the 18 years only thing. Blodia's first appearance was in this game apparently. Well, the more I know!

hey guys, what do you think about ouya for retro gaming?

Haha, just finish one of my best childhood game yesterday.

Emulator is good but the gamepad.... Have to try out a lot of other gamepad to avoid the delay response.

What game is that?

I've also recently finished the first Ratchet & Clank on PS2. Took me around 6 months Damn life gets in the way of my gaming needs. I remember back in the day I could finish the whole Jak & Daxter trilogy in around 1 week plus. Now one game also need half a year to finish.

Getsu Fuma Den from Konami. This game got release in Japan win virtual console and 3ds version virtual console. But still playing on original famicom is the best. But I'm using retron 5.... To cheat on safe game... Only safe game... No other cheat add on... Haha

actually i've been mostly using MAME

i seriously wonder how those "game reviewers" finish a game within a day.
when reading reviews they always complain "aiyah so lousy one, this game only worth 24-36 hours of gameplay"

Well, it's their job. They spend 8-5 playing games while we spend our 8-5 in the office Average time to beat a game is usually around 8-12 hours and in my case those 12 hours are spread across maybe 2-3 months period as I get only around 1 hour of playing time every other day

It's a cool job if you get to review great games but imagine your boss came to you "zenix, please review this new Barbie Horse Adventure game. 3-page review and give it positive score because they have a 'deal' with our company. I want it on my desk tomorrow morning". Mati wei

Fren, I was also in secondary school during the 90s but I can also masuk arcade .. hehehehe . I remember you cannot go in with school uniform only (some went to the toilet to change shirt) during weekdays and I was mostly there in Sungai Wang arcades on the weekends. Fun times before the arcade purge in the late 90s.

deswai always bring extra tshirt to skool.
tell mom after skool got free tuition by teacher

Hehe I also curi-curi, but specifically during 1995-1997, I never touched an arcade. Not convenient to go to Sg Wang back then, and the only arcade near my place is the one next to my tuition center. Wheee. But yeah, those were the fun times. I miss the arcade era of the 80s and 90s.

Some retro goods from Japan arrived at my doorstep today
