Vanilla MK 3 turned 30 this week

 

[spiderjericho]

Did the original MK3 come out in 95?

It was cool it was out for the 32-bit launches.

The story and graphics were great. Wasn’t a huge fan of the run button and dial a combos.

Crazy that VF 2 and Tekken 2 dropped as well. It was a stark difference.

Capcom with Alpha 1 and Night Warriors, Midway with MK3/UMK3 versus these beautiful, high tech paradigm shifts in gaming.

I might have to end up biting the bullet and paying 800 for the Arcade 1 up with X-Men The Arcade Game, along with Cap and the Avengers and Galactic Storm. I really want that one and I don't see it getting a reskin rerelease...

An Arcade near my house has this one. I have it on every emulator I have.

I sold my small N64 collection a while back. I think I'll pick up a mini version if Nintendo ever decides to release one.

Now, do I want to sell off my GameCube stuff? That's a tough one.

Went to Billy’s Midway Arcade a few weeks back & ran a few sessions. Man I love Double Dragon so much but boy I miss seeing this Cabinet all throughout the neighborhood back in the 80s & 90s growing up

 

[TURBO UNO]

I played this one so much at our local laundry mat as a kid. They had Superman, Double Dragon and some sort of WWll fighter plane game (1941?).

Anyhow, that was 30+ years ago and it's still in business. I drove by the place but I'm curious to see what arcades are there now.

 

[spiderjericho]

Double Dragon is on its face a difficult game. But once you learn to spam the elbow, it’s over.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Had to look that place up.

If you look around you can probably get an old school 4 player cabinet for cheaper. Plus it would just be cooler.

Heard it was impossible to crack 50k in the game.

No one ever looked at the score in a beat em up.

True and the version played in The Wizard is the NES game. I was doing some Googling and saw they had these arcade cabinets that could be loaded with 10 NES games. I vaguely remember seeing some out in the wild around the early 90s.

I have VIVID memories of that machine! The rec center(military housing) I used to go to had one. Thats where I learned that the first game after boot up is free on every arcade cabinet.
