The Eye of Typhoon (PC)

The Eye of Typhoon by Viccom. This video is showing some rare gameplay footage of the PC version of this fighting game. This game is very interesting because it is actually the port of an unreleased Neo Geo game. The Eye of Typhoon was Korean developer Viccom's second Neo Geo fighting game their first being Fight Fever.

The original Neo Geo version of The Eye of Typhoon was never released for some reason but the game was ported to 3DO and PC in South Korea. There is also a video of the 3DO version on Youtube. Apart from the 12 selectable characters the game also features 2 bosses called Powell and Mahesvara.

I didn't actually make this video myself. I recorded it from a Korean video site where it had been uploaded by 'pmpo83'. Here's a link where you can download a booklet for the original Neo Geo version showing move lists for the different characters and also scans of a 6 page preview from a Korean magazine.

Is there an actual 2-player mode to this?

[merlin196]

@xkilla999 Yes there is a 2 player mode. The problem is though I can't get that mode to work when playing the game using Dosbox. Not sure if it's possible.

Thanks for posting this! It's not easy to find this game and I appreciate your effort.

[merlin196]

@tobemorecrazy You're very welcome. It wasn't easy finding a download for this game.

Has anyone figured how to play as 2nd player, or how to change anything in main menu?

[merlin196]

That's a good question NGboo and one I've been wondering about too. Someone told me they managed to get it into 'team mode' by pressing some keys randomly on their keyboard. I've never been able to change any of the options so if anyone else knows how to do it please post a comment.

Coincidentally I was just watching your Theatre of Pain videos a few days ago. Great vids.

My heart kept skipping beats, because I was afraid the crocodile would get them.

극초호권? 국산 격투게임의 유망이었는데 발매 되지는 않았던 걸로 기억합니다

merlin196 : You cant tell by this video, but was your version (running on dos box) running at a crap frame rate? Not so crap that it was unplayable but alot worse than most neo geo games. it runs at about 18-20fps id say. Or is it just the port?

@1983parrothead:

True: good points.

[1983parrothead]

@VideoQuestEx Because Viccom gained experience after practicing game development with Fight Fever. If Viccom spent more time developing Fight Fever, it probably would have been as good as (if not better than) The Eye of Typhoon, while The Eye of Typhoon would probably be nearly twice as good, while possibly be released worldwide. It worked for Visco in spending more work time before releasing Breakers in 1996, instead of 1993/1994 as Tenrin no Syo Chicago/Crystal Legacy.
