OT is now over!  at least for now!  So its time again to get back to the site and start playing some more games.  Most importantly catch up on lost sleep.  Updated the downloads page with some game art and added my Zupapa cover in full size.  I will be adding more covers up as thumbs only.  If you want a cover that is not up just shoot me an e-mail 

I am looking for people to start adding content to the console page so if anyone is interested e-mail me

Today RoboB and I received the new Capcom design works art book.  This is the best Cap art book yet!  I will be scanning in  pictures from it over the next couple weeks.  I have put up a couple on the downloads page already.  here is a sneak peak for those that have not seen the book yet.

 

Until next time attempt to master the control scheme for Smilebits gun valkyrie without breaking that lovely xbox controller ; )

Small update on the stupid games page.  The response for the Zupapa shock box cover was received very well.  I will be putting the final box art up this weekend on the downloads page. 

Check out the Japanese AES King of fighters 2K1 box art.  What do you think of the cover?  I don't really like it strange seeing the SUN logo on there and not the ol' SNK logo : (

 I scanned in an article on Metal Slug 4 from the 3-15 issue of famitsu.  If you have not seen it yet check it out ---> Metal slug 4 article

I have started to make some shock boxes for my MVS games, check out my Zupapa cover.  If anyone is interested in downloading it E-mail me if enough people want it I will put it up on the download page.  I will be putting others up in the next couple weeks.

    Here is some KOF2K1 AES news taken from MMCAFE

I was thinking back on the English release of KOF2001, which will be coming simultaneously with the Japanese release on 3/14. I remember last year that the KOF2000 release created quite some controversy since NGF-USA acquired the distribution license, and.. well, their name is synonymous to a curse word amongst hardcore fans.

This year, the English version release is going to be a 500 stock exclusive by
Neo-geo.com(*1), which has a much better reputation than last year's distributor. Considering that it's a worldwide release, a limited 500 cartridges seems like an awfully small stock, but comparing to last year, it's 5 times the volume.

So is a limit of 500 cartridges worldwide small or large?

If you're a light user, Eolith's recent announcement will probably stop you from the investment.

But if you're a hardcore fan, you're probably screaming at yourself that you might be too late to reserve one, considering that pre-orders already began since the end of last year.

    Today I played KOF 2k1 for the first time at Golf land in Sunnyvale CA.  I liked what I played so far the animations are great!  I love the edit your striker/playable character feature.  Now players are given a choice of using four playable characters or any number of strikers.  So you could have a team of four playable characters and no strikers or 3 playable characters and 1 striker etc.  Overall I like what I played check out a full review of the game over at  neo-geo for life.  Also I wanted to let people know about a new arcade system that came out a couple months ago from breeza software its called the crystal system and is suppose to replace the MVS neo-geo system.  So far there is only one game out for it crystal kings with another evolution soccer coming out at the end of the month.  The whole kit sells for 495.00 over at neo-geo.com, but I am still not sure about it?  until next time get in the car and go find your nearest KOF 2K1 until the AES release of the game on March the 14th in Japan and US.

    Hey all!  As you can see the site has had yet another change.  I have now removed the frames version and now added only one page.  All the news and updates will be found on this main page.  I think this makes the site more accessible and easier to view.  Now onto the news.  Today I received my KOF 2000 MVS cart  from the now famous e-bay logistics Dutch auction.  I knew already from numerous e-mails from other bidders that the cart was going to have problems, but to tell you the truth its not that bad.  Small graphic corruption on the parental warning screen, health meters (in game), striker select and player select screen graphic corruption.  Besides that the cart fully works great!  I would rather have a perfect new one, but its the gameplay that matters and its all there!  I will be putting up picts soon of what this bootleg looks like.  On another note JSRF came out today : ) hope you all snagged a copy.  And the once great MAMEDK roms site will no longer have roms up for downloading. 

Check out the a flyer for MVS Metal Slug 4 (I  like the art style.  Lots of people don't, but you be the judge)

Until next time strap on your rollerblades , grab a spray can and play some JSRF!

    Today I have updated the console page for the first time with an x-box controller review brought to you by me Mudman.  Today I received my MVS copy of metal slug 3 and let me tell you that game ROCKS!  the animations are so good and the multiply paths add tons of replay.  lately I have been in a bubble bobble/snow. bros. style gameplay kick I may even do a review on differences between all in the genre?  Currently I have snow Bros. 2 in my X-men JAMMA cab and waiting for a Zupapa cart and looking for a Nightmare in the dark MVS.  Also on wed night I will be updating the site with pictures of the alleged bootleg MVS KOF 2000 cart so check back for picts.  Until then sit tight and play games till your eyes bleed!

2-22-02

    Not much in terms of news I have submitted the site to a couple search engines and now we have to wait!  They have to look at the page and review it.  I guess they have allot of pages to look at so in the mean time.  It will give us time to get some good content in here!  Lets welcome new members opa-opa and roboB to the jive.  plan on at least 3 more contributors added over the next week before admissions for working on the site are closed!  Small updates on the arcade page and soon the console page will have some content added!  I am looking to get some reviews on Maximo and JSRF in the next week or so.

2-19-02

    Small update in the arcade page couple more PCBs added to mudman's list and added Toki to the stupid games page.  If you can think of any stupid games things e-mail us here at the Jive.  The site is still new and only a small hand full of people know about us or even care for that matter : ) but soon we will be on search engines and added to numerous other websites!  yeeeeee haaaaaaaa!  JSRF will be out on the 26th not the 19th like noted below.  SNK lives!  check out Mega enterprise site for Metal Slug 4!

    Hey all another update!  If you have not noticed already I have changed the format of the page.   Now you can view either a frames version and a non frames version so take you're pick.  Once the site is to a stable state more content will be added on the various pages so bare with us!  Until then go play Maximo!  The best 2D to 3D rendition of the old classic Ghosts N' Goblins!  Oh and don't forget for those who bought an X-box Jet grind will be out in stores this Tuesday the 19th.
