Which Arcade Card game should I get?

[Mathius]

I know I make a lot of threads with this kind of theme, but it's a great way to learn and get info. Anyway, I have an ACD on its way finally! I am not the biggest fan of Neo Geo fighters so what others would you guys recommend? I know right off the bat that Strider is on my list. Are there any lesser known hidden gems out there? Also, if any of you wish to make an offer to me on any of these games please PM me. I would make a thread in "sales" but two threads about the same thing seems like a little much.

Sapphire.

Also, I hear Madou Monogatari is fan-f*cking-tastic.

Popful Mail always intrigued me.
I only own 2 ACD games- Strider and Kabuki Itouryodan.
The screen action in Strider is a bit choppy.
Kabuki Itouryodan is similar to Street Fighter II.

What nat said..also add Kabuki Itouryodan (fighter but a blast to play), and though it doesn't seem popular I enjoy Mad Stalker.

I am going to get Sapphire as soon as I can figure out this issue on bootlegs. I don't really care if I get a boot as long as it is factory-like quality. I hooked up with this guy named Tobias at anime4ever which I found out about on these forums a month back. I think he's going to hook me up for less than $150. Is this a good deal, and does anyone know if he is trustworthy?

I didn't know that Popful Mail was an ACD!!

What is Mad Stalker all about in your own words?

Side scrolling, big robot, explosions

Popful is a bi-compatible title. n ot sure what "enhancements" the Arcade card gives it though.

Ooohhh

Is  Kabuki Ittouryoudan based on the Far East of Eden series?

The Arcade card for Popful Mail is supposed to reduce some load times but the load times never bothered me without it

I was going to wait and get the Sega CD version, but I might just get both now.

PC Engine Catalog Project has it listed as both ACD and SCD. I never knew what that meant.

Hey nat, The Brothers Duomazov need to get reviews up for Popful Mail and Strider.

I don't think that this is a good deal for a boot. double it and you may get already an original copy. the boot shouldn't be more than 50~60. As a matter of fact, it shouldn't even exist.

That what nec just had explained, it is one of the many bi-compatible titles with enhanced cut-scenes (usually more animations/frames or just more scenes in one row without interloadings). usually it has no influence to the game itself.

I agree it shouldn't exist, but paying $300 for a PC Engine game is just ludicrous to me. The most I ever spent on a game was $108 for a copy of Drac X. I am torn now. Thanks Tats!
