That game was a ripoff. --- End quote --- And a poor one at that. I bought the machine for the cabinet more than the game inside. Combatribes has a few moments..but it's a pretty bad "double dragon" esque ripoff with a very poor story. Of course the original game in the cabinet was BIO-SHIP Palidin - which was also another very poor ripoof and well not too fun :) |

The game that started me off was Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. That started me into emulation. From there I found Mame, then onto here to build my own. What a long strange trip its been. |

What's that? |
