ADK

I didn't know they were behind so many Neo Geo games. I remember Sky Soliders from the arcades years ago as a kid. Great game. They also did Twinkle Star Sprites for the Neo.

SMS Time Soldiers is my favorite of the games mentioned in this thread. God I love that game.

This one's a Famicom RPG. It seems kind of Phantasy Star-ish from what I remember but it was all in Japanese. I should check to see to there's a translation.

Yeah. At least thats the rumor. KOF R3 was coming as well. :(

I've never really understood the hype over Magician Lord. It's a good game but I don't like it anywhere near as much as the rest of the Neo crowd does. Rumors have went around for YEARS about MLII and I've never ever seen anything I would consider solid proof. So I'd simply chalk it up to being nothing more than a fangasm.

And on the general subject of ADK- I've always loved Crossed Swords. Hell the sequel is the reason I snatched a Neo CD and it's always been a game I've considered to be one of my favs on the system.

Ninja Masters is f-ing awesome. No idea why no one else seems to like this one, but I consider it on the same level as Samsho and Last Blade as far as being a quality weapon based fighter, it only fails compared to these games perhaps in the characters/art department. The game kicks ass. Massive amounts.

For a second I was thinking that they worked on Kizuna, which is also a fav of mine...but they didn't.

Yup, NM is awesome. This is one of the few fighters that I can play over and over against the computer. The problem is that so few people have played it and the ugly characters/art kinda scares gamers away. I love NM and now I find the characters/design to be awesome, even if it is alittle on the dark and ugly side.

Kizuna Encounter is really fun too, I prefer this over most of Capcom's Vs fighters.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Are we mistaken?

No, you guys are right. I just missed it. My mind was probably blanking the game out because I wasted money importing the DC version. ;) I should have tried the Neo rom first. It's probably fun two-player but I didn't care much for it single player.

That's exactly why I remember the game so clearly!
I've got the Saturn and Dreamcast revs.

So unnecessary.

Not to one up you... but I got the Neo Geo AES cart and the Saturn rev. :bang:

But I love the game, it is unique and super fun 2p.

I pretty much have. Recently, I bought back some hardware and nostalgic games. Don't have a 360, doubt if I will get a Wii, may get a PS3 just for the port of VF5 which I play in the arcade.

I knew of ADK but didn't know they were responsible for so many cool games. There's several on that list that I really have to hunt down the ROMs for. Ninja Combat looks especially cool.

And I know people will be shocked, but I've never played Magician Lord. But the way everyone in creation carries on about it, I guess I better give that one a try as well.

Oh, and Crush Roller sucked. Sort of a Pac-Man clone. I remember playing it in an arcade when I was a really little kid, but it was horrible on the NGPC.
