I've heard Neo Geo cartridge games are still avaitable, but cost like $400...First time I played King Of Fighters was at my Japanese host family's house. Their kid had King Of Fighters 98 for the PS1, and his cousin had the actual Neo-Geo cartridges. That was like 9 years ago nearly, and that was my reason for buying this game.
I'm not sure what makes King Of Fighters soo popular... I think maybe it is SNK's distinctive artwork style, but can't see what's so special about the gameplay.
You get a shitload of characters to chose from. There is no story mode... you fight your way through a dozen of so characters, before you battle with genetically enhanced boss Krizalid.
The graphics look like they could have been from 1994 or 1996, but look dissapointing for a game released in 1999 or 2000. I think Capcom is the king of the 2D fighting genre.
There's this one character, a Chinese midget with a metal claw glove called Chun, who's pretty funny, and there's a character in one of the backgrounds who looks like my friend Frank. That's what I'll remember this game for.
My rating: 3.3/10
