1. SEGA is short for Service Games

2. SNK is short for "New Japan Project," in english

3. The "Sonic Team" logo was only used 1 before being used in NiGHTS into Dreams

4. The Dreamcast controller is actually an enhancement to a previous Saturn controller made by Yuji Naka.

 

Some rare stuff, you guys may have known already.

 

Anon.

1. Yeah, I know

2. Yeah, Shin Nihon Kikaku (where have I heard that before?) , although Shin translates closer to 'Real' or 'True'.

3. I don't understand what you mean...

4. Yeah, the NiGHTS "analogue" controller. They are very similar. (both sh!t for fighting games)

 

Thanks for sharing though. I enjoy reading rare stuff.

 

I knew yours too Gryph (good one though).

Not for Neo-Geo that's for sure. Try MAME.

but it's made by SNK why isn't it for the Neo Geo? weird...

Just because SNK made a game doesn't means that the game is automatically for the Neo-Geo. Just look at Ikari Warriors.

sorry to bump this one page but this deserves correction:

 

Capcom comes from Capsule Computer. That's all I know...

 

The phrase "CapCom" actually dates back to 1961, when it was the title assigned by NASA to the Capsule Communicator (get it?) who was in charge of talking directly to the first astronauts while they were in orbit. although it did become "capsule computer" over the years i believe Capcom chose their company name after the NASA guys.

[shin_nihon_kikaku]

All SNK games before the Neo Geo were coin-ops on SNK made hardware. Some have been converted for home computers and consoles but these were usually done by other companies (Ocean etcetera) (in the Neo-Geo days, Takara).

 

Just get MAME. I recommend Lasso, Beast Busters (and Mechanized Attack), Athena, Joyful Road and Psycho Soldier.

 

Also, it's from 'Japan Capsule Computers' in the case of Capcom and it doesn't really have anything to do with NASA...
