But it is on sale. What to do oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #3 oooooomonkey, Aug 10, 2013 I wouldn't really call it abandoned, more like complete. There's nothing really that can be done with the games it's exactly what it should be and how it was in the arcades. If you have memories of playing it then you would have probably already bought it. If not then I'm not sure how fun it will be (its an old old arcade game and plays like it. ) I love it though Gov Well-Known Member Jun 24, 2013 2,257 0 0 #4 Gov, Aug 10, 2013 Would've been complete if it was optimised for iPhone 5/iPod 5th gen. Trouble is, games look terrible on the taller screen if they're only short versions. But i guess its complete for you dzkdes Well-Known Member Aug 5, 2013 48 0 0 #5 dzkdes, Aug 11, 2013 Is this the one on the Commodore 64? Or something different? Mark DeNardo Well-Known Member May 4, 2011 73 0 0 Sound Wizard Brooklyn, NY #6 Mark DeNardo, Aug 12, 2013 I think is a direct port from the arcade ROM, with the background art assets expanded. This is a great game, the granddaddy of fighting games. The dual stick control system is awesome, this game ports to iOS very well. MrMojoRisin Well-Known Member Jul 27, 2012 1,183 0 0 #7 MrMojoRisin, Aug 12, 2013 Also check out the game Zanshin if you like Karate Champ. It is a "remake" with better graphics and smoother animation. Also, it has an easy mode where you just use the d-pad and tap the screen for a context based move depending on your position in relation to your opponent. andsoitgoes Well-Known Member Jun 30, 2010 2,673 58 48 In a van, down by the river! #8 andsoitgoes, Aug 12, 2013 I played the game like crazy from our school's library. I was terrible at it, but this + Oregon Trail were the games I rocked hard, and having them both on iOS is pretty fantastic, though I'm happy with the Organ Trail's homage, which is better than the fancied up version that included IAP (ugh that still makes me sick to think about it) Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #9 Connector, Aug 12, 2013 Does this have icade? Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #10 Royce, Aug 12, 2013 Last updated in 2010. iCade came out in 2011.
