... the excellent Lucky and Wild just got dumped curtosy of The Guru. Shame the System 2 board is such an arse, id kill to play that again.

And his site says that there are more suprises on the way (damn, I would of been happy with just this).

I don't recall many of the games you like Yak, you must have spent more time in the arcades than I did, or just had a better arcade [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Yeah! I've been waiting for lucky and wild for a while. Now I know it's just a matter of months.

That's lucky and wild not licky and wild. What was I thinking about?

No, there was an arcade version of Sonic Blastman 2 which was similar to the first. The main difference was that it had a camera which would take a photo of the face of the participant if he or she wished and then would place that image over an enemy so you could punch yourself, the image would then deform suitably upon being hit. I know the camera feature would be virtually impossible to implement but surely the basic hardware could be.

This isn't on the unemulated database and I don't know why as I remember seeing this is serveral arcades.

Yeah, Lucky & Wild was a fun crazy game where one player played one of them who drove the car, and the other controlled the gun.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Sonic Blastman 2 anytime soon.

taito made the sonicbastman whatever games..but that pciture thing was in the genesis version of spidey.they may indeed had that technology back then...

Ahhh, Real Puncher.

I doubt that will get emulated anytime soon, nobody knows what the hardware is and those games are near impossible to find in the US thanks to the CPSC. LOL, they probably shipped all the recalled machines over here.

I actually think the game was called "Sonic Blastman Returns" as I saw someone mentioning what arcade games he had seen in the US and that was on his list.

To be honest I don't give that much of a toss about SBM2, but the original was one of my greatest surprises when it was released with Beta 14/15.

I wish I could find a list of all the recently emulated games say from Beta 13, as many of the newest ones are the most taxing system wise as Stun Runner et al are getting boring [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img].

Now that Slapstic has been completely "ironed out" when should we expect to see Rampart and Pit Fighter..I am guessing 17 alhough it could be 18?

by **RabidYak** on Fri Aug 10, 2001 11:32 pm

Its definatly Real Puncher -
emustatus.rainemu.com/games/rpuncher.htm

MAMEs whatsnew.txt lists all the changes and added stuff since the last final, go and look in there if you wanna see whats been added. Or alternatly theres the beta new/changes pages over at mame.dk

Pitfighter and Rampart will be sorted in the next beta, the slapstic fix is done and submitted.

Yeah, that's the machine all right. I will take a peek at those documents.

When you said "Ahh, Real Puncher" I thought you meant the machine was a "Real puncher" lol as if it could not be [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img].
