how i arrived on bsky I was only really using twitter to DM people (since it had better DM functionality). Then for some reason, one day my DMs were locked and I couldn't access them again. Since I no longer had a reason to use Twitter, I just deleted my account

Just like with '98 Ultimate Match, New Channel released an arcade version of the game exclusively in China called "The King of Fighters: Road to Revenge". It uses the dedicated System Board Y2 arcade hardware. English language is also selectable in the operator menu.

In 2009 an updated version of The King of Fighters 2002 was released exclusively in Japan for PS2, called The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match. This version was produced without Eolith's involvement, and includes 22 new characters.

The King of Fighters 2003 was the first game in the series developed in-house since The King of Fighters 2000. It was the final game in the series released on Neo-Geo MVS, the arcade hardware that the games had been using since The King of Fighters '94, the very first game in the series.

Like with 2001, The King of Fighters 2002 was also developed by Eolith. It was the second non-canonical "special edition" in the series after The King of Fighters '98, and received much greater reviews than 2001.

here's The King of Fighters 2002 & 2003 for PS2. Unlike 2000 & 2001, these games were released separately in Europe.

SNK (who renamed themselves to Playmore) still wanted to keep releasing King of Fighters games, but couldn't develop the games themselves anymore as they had almost no money. So they got South Korean company Eolith (most well-known for the Hidden Catch arcade game series) to develop KOF 2001.

The King of Fighters 2000 was notably the final King of Fighters game developed by the original SNK company, as they were going through bankruptcy at the time.

the AUDACITY of calling TIME KILLERS an "arcade classic"

Also in the Game Boy Advance version, you can use "butt bounce" to destroy frozen enemies without having to push them off of platforms. In the Game Boy Color version, you can only defeat frozen enemies by pushing them off of platforms. The Game Boy Advance version also has sprite scaling

The Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance versions have slight differences. The Game Boy Color version has still 2D images for the intro sequence, while the Game Boy Advance version has 3D animated cutscene for the intro sequence.

The game was also released for Game Boy Advance. This version was even released in the USA, by Namco of all companies. Critics gave the game negative review, calling it "too simple". However, I played the game and enjoyed it. If you like arcade games like "Bubble bobble", this game's for you.

here's Hugo: The Evil Mirror for Game Boy Color. Based on the hit Danish children's game show.

Exclusively in the UK, a special Game Boy pack was released which included both Volumes 1 and 3 for a total of 4 games.

here's Arcade Classics Vol. 4 for Game Boy. The final volume includes Defender and Joust.

here's Arcade Classics Vol. 3 for Game Boy. It includes Galaxian and Galaga.

here's Arcade Classics Vol. 2 for Game Boy. It includes Centipede and Millipede.

here's Arcade Classics Vol. 1 for Game Boy. It includes Asteroids and Missile Command.

Here's a magazine showing the game with the Rave War title, along with Slam Masters II: Ring of Destruction. As for the game called Crystal Legacy? That didn't come out until two years later, and it was renamed Breakers when it was released.

here's The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga for PS2. This compilation includes The King of Fighters '94, '95, '96, '97, and '98. Although only '94 to '97 is the actual Orochi Saga, as '98 was designed as a non-canonical "special edition" to bring back most of the series characters.

This version was released by a company called New Channel and uses the much weaker IGS PolyGame Master 2 arcade hardware. Interestingly despite this version being a China-only release, English language is selectable in the operator menu.

An arcade version of the game was also released exclusively in China, called The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match Hero.

here's The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match for PS2. This remake of the Neo-Geo hit includes 10 new characters. also includes bonus disc with The King of Fighters XII trailer and desktop wallpapers.

here's Art of Fighting Anthology for PS2. Includes Art of Fighting, Art of Fighting 2, and Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior.

did you know that several PS1 games were ported to PC exclusively in South Korea? Well, it's true ! Evil Zone was also ported to PC exclusively in South Korea. The PC version uses the Japanese title Eretzvaju and has entirely different cover art than the other versions.

Further cementing the Game Boy Advance's reputation as a portable SNES, the game was also ported to the system.

In Japan the game was released by Kemco, who renamed it P-Man and gave it entirely different cover art. The SNES version was released as P-Man, and the Game Boy version was released as P-Man GB.

Prehistorik Man also got a Game Boy version.

here's Prehistorik Man for SNES. The Prehistorik series finally makes it to console.

here's Prehistorik 2 for PC. The sequel only came out on PC. An Amiga version was also planned, but it got cancelled when Titus decided to stop supporting the Amiga.

Also, I think the USA cover for the game is much better than the UK one.

here's Prehistorik for Amiga. A great platforming game. sadly it came out during the final years of the Amiga in the USA, so not many Americans got to play it.

here's The Blues Brothers: Jukebox Adventure for PC. The sequel

here's The Blues Brothers for PC. Based on the classic film

Telegames later ported the game to Game Boy Advance with its original title.

here's The Adventures of Kid Kleets for SNES. This game was originally released in Europe as Soccer Kid.

version differences In Japan the title of the game is "爆Bomberman 2", which means "Explosive Bomberman 2". In the USA version the title was changed, but weirdly the kanji was kept on the title screen. The USA version was also made easier by giving you multiple lives, instead of just one life.

here's Bomberman 64: The Second Attack for Nintendo 64. This time Vatical Entertainment released the sequel in the USA, and it was not released in Europe. Original cart-only copies of the game go for about $400, compared to only $30 for the first one. If you want to buy it, just get a repro.

version differences In Japan the title of the game is "爆Bomberman", which means "Explosive Bomberman". In the USA version the 64 was added to the title screen, but weirdly the kanji was kept.

here's Bomberman 64 for Nintendo 64. Bomberman makes his 3D platforming debut, also featuring the classic Battle Mode. Outside of Japan, the game was published by Nintendo themselves.

The game was also released as part of a 4 in 1 pack with Operation Krabby Patty, the Movie game, and Lights Camera Pants!

Nobody really knows how the game ended up this way. My theory is that AWE Games was about to lose the license to use the SpongeBob IP, so they rushed together one more game to quickly squeeze some more money out of it.

here's SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab for PC. Sadly, the final SpongeBob AWE game ends things off on a whimper. You only play through 6 minigames, most of which are terrible.

This game was also released as part of a 3 in 1 pack with Employee of the Month and Battle for Bikini Bottom.

here's SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! for PC. The fifth SpongeBob AWE game has a similar plot to the console version, but instead of being a multiplayer party game it's a point and click adventure with minigames throughout for variety.

The DVD of the movie (both the original release and the 2014 rerelease) also features a demo of this game, which can only be played if you put the disc in a PC.
