The king of fighters 97 orochi team12/28/2022 I did play Street Fighter II on my SEGA Mega Drive but the characters in this game were something else: for one thing you were given their full name. Gotta say the character portraits in KoF '97 are still impressive to me. I much liked his mercenary/guerilla colored attire from the earlier KoFs. I honestly don't like how they changed Ralf's defaul color pallete to a military-like one. What exactly was about it that gripped me I cannot say for certain but after playing it the first time I was hooked. One day as I look around the arcade for a game to play I chance upon this game. With 2017 ending soon I figured I should quit slacking and just write what comes to mind. I've gotten way ahead of myself, but throughout this year I've been thinking about how to get this thread written and slacked off big time due to work and other stuff. The ambiance that then builds up to that short musical beat has stuck with me to this day. THIS is what the Bali theme sounds to me to this day Now maybe SNK had to rush some stuff to get the game out in time, maybe that would explain why the stages don't exactly have their own tracks and only certain themes would play depending on the characters that are fighting during a round, but I don't give a shit. This is a game that has its own personality and presentation: From the stages, to the freakin' UI and in-game messages, to the character portraits and the character sprites and their animations (hell the characters themselves were a treat to a first timer to SNK games in general at the time), to that goddamn brilliant announcer. To this day I still enjoy it despite any glaring flaws it has, or how unbalanced it is. Not Street Fighter II ST, not Double Dragon Neo Geo, surely not KoF '94 nor Power Instinct 2. It was the game that got me more interested in fighting games, like no other at that good old arcade I played at. in 1998, man that game just blew my mind as a kid. King of Fighters '97 on the other hand, looking back at it now, having played it prob. Nowadays FF7 doesn't really grip me much, it is a game that I should someday go back and see if I can enjoy it with the recent fan mods and hacks etc. ![]() Funnily enough they all released in 1997, though I cannot in full confidence say that 10 year old me played all of them for the first time in 1997. ![]() Everybody has that one (mainstream accepted) game or two that changed their view of gaming and/or made them more interested in them.įor this optimistic, crazed, loud Spanish obscenities spouting luchador fan of a Birdman, there were at least 2 games that were this to me:įinal Fantasy VII and King of Fighters '97.and Megaman X4, make that 3 games.
