how many kasumi ninja clones did the atari jag have?

[10p6]

@notanfningain I would not say this is a Kasumi Ninja clone, but more of another fighting game. As far as I am aware, the Jag has the following fighting games:

- Double Dragon V

- Dragon The Bruce Lee Story

- Fight for life

- Kasumi Ninja

- Primal Rage (CD)

- Ultra Vortek

- Thea Realm Fighters (Never Released)

- Mortal Combat (Rumored to have been made but not released)

Wow, how many Mortal Kombat clones did the Jaguar have?

What on earth is the point of upscaling 240p video to 1080p? It just burns more bandwidth for exactly as much detail as performing the upscaling client-side.

@ZylonBane You do not have to watch it in 1080P, 720P or 480P, for that matter not even 360P. However if you do play it in 720P or 1080P you will notice a huge difference on a large screen TV. There is also a big difference between 240 and 480P (240P on YouTube would be half the native Jag resolution.) Re your comment on Myst, the clicking sound in this video is from the actual game.

Not sure I've seen this game in action before. Seems far from finished and lacking in a number of areas, but looks a little better than some Jaguar fighters in other respects (eg character animation is fairly fluid). The characters really seem to be lacking when it comes to variety of moves they can perform but the ones they do look OK. There's seems obvious balance issues between characters as well. Backgrounds look a bit like someone got a free CD of clip art on a 90s PC mag!

@shpearg I would say it is about 70% done. The many of the backgrounds actually have 4 layers of parallax scrolling, and compared to the rest of the Jag fighting games, they are actually pretty decent quality. The lacking part is me being awake for 24 hours and playing my 6 year old son (it was also only the second time I had played)

[shpearg]

@10p6 OK, doesn't really seem half way to a complete on-the-shelf game to me, but then some Jaguar releases were a bit like that anyway ;-) So vs son - right, I thought you were playing vs the Jaguar, didn't realise it was 2 people playing. Parallax is nice, it's more the choice of gfx & how they don't sit nicely on some of the scenes - the backgrounds look mostly placeholders if I'm being really critical. I read the ROM was "leaked" a few years ago, wonder how many people have a copy?

[10p6]

@shpearg According to the Wiki (if you can believe that) it was meant to have 24 characters. It also says that one one character had special moves, yet all the characters in this one do. However complete it is, it is actually a pretty fun game to play. I don't know how many roms exist, all I know is I paid a lot for this one. Only one other TRF video is on youtube that I have seen, but that is totally different. I am thinking it may be fake.

[shpearg]

@10p6 24 characters, wow, that would have taken one hell of a cart for all those frames of animation. You should rip out the character gfx & see how big they are - see if it was even possible to have 6x as many as there are in that version. So you bought a copy of the ROM or a flash cart with it on? Nice addition to any collection!

[10p6]

@shpearg With 24 Characters, and a 6 Meg Cart (I read somewhere that there was going to be a fighting game that would be the first and only game to use a 6 MB cart but it was canceled), minus say 2MB for program data, stages, and sound, that would only leave 170K for each fighter. Even with massive compression that seems to be very little for the amount of animation.

I don't have any way to rip the Roms, now would I if I could.

[KevinCali24]

The smoothness of the animation is really awesome in this.

[10p6]

@KevinCali24 As far as I can remember it has 4 players and 7 levels in this version. The graphics are mostly complete (minus the bugs), it is just the sound which seems to have low quality samples. I think if they would have finished it then they would have added another 4 or more characters. I am saying it was at least 70 percent finished. It's a shame as this is in my opinion the most playable fighting game on the Jag.

[KevinCali24]

DUDE this is sweet! :) Man, this game looks great, graphic quality is closer to killer instinct than mortal kombat! Darn realistic looking, how complete would you say this is?! Seems to be only missing minor stuff, music etc. Oh man you would get so many more views if you put mortal kombat killer instinct street fighter in the tags!?
