New features include a challenge system, drop indrop out online multiplayer using GGPO, and a new house rules system will let you change the mechanics, turning it into a time attack or losing money instead of health when damaged, for example. I posted some movie clips from this release. Battle System. Final Fight meets Secret of Mana the battle system is a lot like any typical street fighting game, but much more. Enemies drop gold, money, jewels, or accessories when defeated. You can equip these weapons and accessories they drop. In between stages you enter a shop screen where you can purchase extra weapons, such as exploding oil, arrows, daggers and hammers. Each character class has their advantages and disadvantages. Each character can gain experience and levels. The Elf, Cleric and Magic user can cast spells. Theres isnt MP spells can only be used a certain amount of times. Gaining levels increases the amount of times you can cast each learned spell. Spells that are used up can only be restored when you pick up magic scrolls, or when you die. In Tower of Doom. The battle system is pretty basic. You browse your inventory and spells in a little box under your HP. In Shadow Over Mystara. Since Shadow Over Mystara. Tower of Dooms sequel, the battle system went through. There are tons more attacks and spells. Some weapons are enchanted with a specific element, such as lightning. Some accessories have attributes, such as protection against fire and boosted strength. Some accessories and relics can be used during battle to cast a spell or summon an elemental spirit. Most of the classes have a couple special attacks that can be executed with a quick button sequence. You browse your weaponsitemsspells with a ring like menu like in Secret of Mana. Each character has an inventory menu and the characters who can use magic have two more menus for choosing spells. DONT FORGET THAT MAGIC USING CHARACTERS HAVE MORE THAN ONE MENU. If you cant pick up a certain weapon or accessory then that means your inventory is full or that specific character class cant use it. My Opinion. These games left me in mindless daze of pure classic gaming ecstasy. What I find most fascinating is that heyre actionRPG. Yes they are. As mentioned above, you can gain levels, browse a Secret of Mana like menu, cast spells and summon elemental spirits. Theres also dialogue, cut scenes, a storyline and replay value. Yes, replay value. Do you want to know why At several points in these games you can decide where you want to go. And there are TONS of secrets. In Shadow Over Mystara, sometimes where you go depends on the type of character youre using or how fast you can defeat a boss. Now how cool is that The Elf chicks battle cry sounds like an orgasmic sexual roar. She does it every time you defeat a boss. If she gets excited that easily, then I wonder what she does when she cough never mind. Anyway, I need to give you a warning. Once you get addicted to these games, youll start catching yourself repeating random spell casts throughout the day, such as the Elfs MAGIC MISSILE and the Magic users CONJURE ELEMENTAL Thatll especially occur while youre driving. If you cut someone off in traffic and the angry driver yells out to you, POWER OF LOVE a spell in Clerics arsenal then youll know that person has been playing Dungeons Dragons for arcade. Back in the day Id asked my friends Hey, wouldnt it be cool if there was an arcade RPG It sure was a treat when I learned of these games. Naturally, these games had to be actionRPG. Its not practical to have a menu based traditional RPG arcade game, for obvious reasons. Anyway, I highly recommend playing Tower of Doom and Shadow Over Mystara to any RPG fan. Theyre very good. When I first played them I couldnt let go for 3 daysThey constantly. gave me orgasm after orgasm figuratively. Multi players. Playing these arcade games with one character is like playing an RPG with 1 character it can make things difficult and boring. Having various characters together makes your battle party efficient. For example, recruiting a Fighter to make up for the Magic users lower defensestrength or recruiting the Thief just so you can have her thief abilities available. There are three ways you can play with multiple characters With real people. Heh, the obvious way. If you have real life people available to play the game with you, then I highly recommend that you get a USB gamepad for each person. Your computer and KawaksMame. UI willwork with every gamepad that you have plugged in. All you need to do is set up each one in the player configuration. Netplay. Have you ever used ZSNESs. Battle for playing two player games with people online Its like a netplay waiting room it helps you connect with someone via ZSNES when you decide on a game to play. Well, arcade emulation has something like that too, its called Kaillera. Kaillera works with Kawaks and Mame. UI, and helps you connect with someone online to play a multi player arcade game. By yourself. Just set up the player controls of players 2 4 with your controls. Controlling several characters at once is a bit awkward at first, but youll get used to it. Try to have your characters stay together so you can kick more ass when attacking a single enemy. If they get too scattered then just run to a corner to quickly rally everyone back up. Mystara By default, Dungeons Dragons Shadow Over Mystara only offers up to 2 players. This is how you enable 4 players. Start up the game and access the Test menu. To access the Test menu in Kawaks press F1. Mame. UI press F2. Choose CONFIGURATION. In Configuration Menu choose SYSTEM. In System Configuration go to Chute Type and press left or right to choose. PLAYERS 1 CHUTE SINGLEYou can increase the chutes to 4 CHUTES MULTI if youd like. Chutes are the amount of coin slots. For example, 1 chute means all players contribute to the same coin bank. And 4 chutes means each player has their own coin bank. Since emulation has infinite coins, youre better off just choosing 1 CHUTE SINGLE. Exit the three screens. EXIT SAVE EXIT EXITAnd thats it Enjoy the game with 4 players An Honor. On August 2. 3, 2.
