King of Fighters '99: Dream Match on DC

Any gameplay differences between the AES/MVS version and DC version?

Anyway, this is only a fraction of the titles that I'd consider "masterpieces".

Virtual On: Operation Moongate.
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram.
Virtua Fighter series.
Jet Set Radio, Future.
Rez.
Snatcher.
Panzer Dragoon, Zwei, Saga.
Herzog Zwei.
Ocarina of Time.
Super Metroid.
Shenmue series.
Metal Gear series, Metal Gear Solid.
Doom.
Ikaruga.

AHAAAA. I caught you. Trying to slip in a stinker among a list of classic must-owns. You have to wake up pretty early to pull a fast one on me. To think that nobody else noticed that he included FFVII, for shame. Good try though...

Well, Here are the few of mine:

DMC (Excellent action game)
Silent Hill (great horror game)
Metal Slug series
REZ
ICO

Most here are gonna list the same games probably. Here are mine:
->No One Lives Forever
->Civilization II
->Yoshi's Island/SMB3
->Project Gotham Racing
->Super Metroid
->Jet Grind Radio
->Quake II multiplayer
->Team Fortress Classic
->Tony Hawk 2
->Ultima IV & Ultima VII

There is only a handful of games which can be called masterpieces, the word is thrown around way too frequently. There are more that I didnt list, but there arent that many more.

Some "cheap" deemed combos, and infinites were removed.

I've gotta say that the DC version of 98 is great (Dream Match), but the wacked backgrounds and the music loading in between rounds keeps it from "masterpiece" status in my eyes.
