There are hardly any arcades left in my country, the only way i can play NeoGeo is either buying the MVS Cartridges for my Cabinet or using FBA-XXX.
So if this thread will result in no more Banned games on FBA-XXX then i will now start the "lets buy Vamp Metal Slug 4&5 & Snk Vs Capcom" fund. |
I think the majority of people are without a decent arcade within 100 miles of where they live and since most arcade games (not all) don't get home conversions, I think the 3 year thing is bollocks. I don't think respecting FBA team's (or any other author's) wishes is bollocks, I just think that what their wishes are happens to be bollocks.
When I was younger there was an arcade near my school and I used to play a few fighting games at lunch and have the (very) occasional game of Raiden, and for a short while there was a Metal Slug machine which I didn't play, because I was short on money and didn't want to risk it in a game that I knew nothing about. Now that arcade (which I now live over 75 miles away from) is now closed and as I said previously, the many arcades near where I live do not have any good games except for House Of The Dead 3 which I already have on Xbox. My point being, without emulation I wouldn't get to play arcade games, no matter how old, so the 3 year thing has no bearing on how much money SNK or whoever gets from me and I'm sure this is the same situation that loads of people are in.
Also, I don't deny that there are people who won't go to the arcades to play games, because they get them for free, but I don't think that's the majority, which is why I've referred to the 3 year rule as bollocks so many times.
BYEEEEE!!
PS: In case anyone didn't understand all of my post, I DO have respect for FBA Team's wishes, I just don't agree with what they are.
