2008

Released as freeware only two years before the Steam/Xbox Live indie game boom of the early 2010s, Iji missed out on a LOT of attention and it stings. So ahead of its time it's insane.

It's like they programmed the game to be mathematically as sick as possible.

Apparently a broken mess competitively, but who cares? This is the closest the fighting game genre ever came to art.

Daytona USA might lack the best handling, content or track design, but it more than makes up for it in classic Sega charm. From the attract screen to the game over jingle, every ounce of the game's presentation and mood is memorable. Befitting its accessible and friendly 'hanging out with the bros at the bowling alley arcade' nature, it's pure 90s motorsport pop art in video game form - there is quite few like it.

Like all pre-Final Fight beat 'em ups, this is janky as hell and not very fun to play, but god DAMN does Daddy Mulk go hard.

The fact that this is a CPS2 game is INSANE, 20+ years later and it's still the best Vs. game presentation-wise. Of course it doesn't come close to 2 or 3, but it's still a damn fine fighter.

Even with a romhack, it's no good.

Great game, but who was the fucking pillock that decided Castlevania needed limited continues?

I want to hate this but I'm too nostalgic for shitty Newgrounds art and OCRemix to do so.

Also it's the first fighting game with rollback netcode ever, put some respect on the OG

Daisuke Amaya singlehandedly started the entire independent video game scene and was cheated out of his money and fame. Fuck Nicalis.

Download the freeware version and buy Kero Blaster instead.

I'll give it 5/5 once it gets a 60fps patch. Until then...

Yes, it's a barebones port. Yes, it's basically a cashgrab.

But don't let that put you off - these are two of the best platformers of all time in one cheap and convenient package. A must-have for anyone who likes the genre.

What an odd game. It takes obvious influence from 1980's magical girl anime what with its protagonist and theme song, but the environments and gameplay hark back to SNK's gritty pre-Neo Geo shooters like Ikari Warriors, Time Soldier and Guerrilla War.

Has has some some points over 3rd Strike (nicer stages, widescreen support, cool super effect, actual win screens), but it's all visual. The bugs and awkward hitboxes almost ruin it. Just play 3rd Strike.
