Timely video huh?The Fun Fun Bros video is up for viewing:
It was lucky that the Block Paradise footage was posted to youtube, so I was able to show gameplay this time. Thanks to "Vlad Imir" for that.Timely video huh?
I've been following your Neo Geo videos since the Magician Lord review and it's always a great time watching them. Keep the good work AlecThe Fun Fun Bros video is up for viewing:
I think this guy might actually play video gamesIn terms of the actual game of Mahjong, Minnasan is one of the easiest offerings on the Neo. The board is what adds difficulty and cheapness, especially with the game over spaces. When it comes to the core Mahjong gameplay itself, Minnasan doesn’t cheat the player nearly as much as other arcade Mahjong games. I recommend it, and Janshin Densetsu for beginner players who know the core basics of the game. Bakatonosama is a step up in difficulty from Minnasan in my own experience.
I think it's likely that the programmers had no idea whether the game would be officially licensed or not when they were working on it. In fact, Monlith might have intended to get the rights all along, but went ahead and released it anyway with minor changes when they couldn't secure them, or weren't willing to pay what was asked.Strange how in the early days of the neo Geo they had such little regard for copyright.
Yes, the game gives you those items that basically let you automatically win, and the mahjong itself isn't bad. The game board is bullshit though, and the lack of a real ending is a letdown.In terms of the actual game of Mahjong, Minnasan is one of the easiest offerings on the Neo.

It was the norm back then.Strange how in the early days of the neo Geo they had such little regard for copyright.
I did too there's a lot of SNK knowledge in theseI enjoyed the reviews so far. Learned something new each time. Keep up the good work!
So Aicom did a lot of basketball games prior to Dunk Star? Interesting. It was also kind of hilarious hearing Chad Okada saying Dunk Star shouldn't be finished. Looking forward to the insult that is Legend of Success Joe...Here's the Dunk Star video:
