Just ran through Tower of Doom.
This port is legit, no doubt about that.
EDIT: Ok wtf I just joined a game through quick match. A second later I crash to desktop.

Awesome! I love this game. I wish it was redrawn in HD sprites like SFIIHD Remix, but I guess keeping it true to its original is the best way to go.

I don't think any other company outdid Capcom in this genre, even now. Hopefully this does okay and they can manage to get the licenses for the other games, especially Alien vs. Predator. Glad to see this on PC too, will pick it up at some point.

Punisher
AvP
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Really looking forward to diving back into these. I barely got to play Shadow over Mystara in arcades, but I did spend a lot of time with Tower of Doom since it was right next to my preferred VF1 machine. "Sticks to snakes!" still randomly pops into my head when I'm doing stupid stuff like yard work, lol.
Very few beat 'em ups do it for me (I even had a hard time warming up to Guardian Heroes at first), so I can't recommend this compilation enough assuming the port job isn't janky. It's so exciting to have Dragon's Crown just around the corner, too.

Ugh, I guess it's best to just be glad we're finally getting legit releases of these games after so many years.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Sigh, don't even wanna think about that being the case. Capcom could have avoided it, however, by NOT MAKING THE SAME GODDAMN GAME TWICE.

Probably not worth it if you can't read Japanese unless the guide is filled with art.

Yeah, Capcom really should release a double pack similar to Final Fight / Magic Sword (though without the online DRM of course) that includes Battle Circuit and either:
Captain Commando - for an "Inspired by 50's sci-fi collection" (as both are seemingly inspired by the same 50's sci-fi art of artists like Frank R. Paul)
or
Red Earth - for an "Unknown peaks of the Capcom arcade library collection" (both games being quite obscure but also at the peak of their respective genres by incorporating some rpg elements into their design).
I would be very happy with either option!
Closer on topic: Does anyone know why Capcom took the effort to have additional work done exclusively on the Japanese version? Why take the effort to finally release these (for Capcom fans) much wanted games around the world but then update only one version, thereby making the international version feel less complete?
Edit: I did not even think of the possibility that none of the two versions would be the definitive one, as a few people above me pointed out. This makes Capcom's decision even more baffling!

Probably because the Dungeons and Dragons franchise was always more popular in its homeland of Japan. It never really took off in America.

They're like different modes of play that you can activate.
- One Life Challenge
- Vampirism (attacks you do heal you)
- Time Attack: You start out with 30 seconds on the clock and each enemy you kill adds more time
- Moneybags: Instead of health each attack against you takes gold away, and when you run out you die
Theres a few more. You can activate as many as you have unlocked at one time.

Thanks, need me some blue Elf.
can someone confirm whether the difficulty settings can be changed??
regarding Tower of Doom, is it the exact same game from the arcades back then?
I remember I was determined to finish it with one coin... I only made it to the last boss once or twice before the local went out of business, fucking hard game.

I'll most likely be getting this on PSN. These were so much fun in the arcades.

I'll be testing it with my Saturn USB, so if that works, I can't see why your stick wouldn't.

One probably won't be exceptionally better mechanically than the other (Iron Galaxy has done great work on previous emulation packages). Basically, you would be paying at least three times the price for a couple of extra features (four of the same character and color edit).

Which version? PS3 get.

I only played one PC session, but no crashes or disconnects from my end yet.
PC version. Was playing with Pinko Marx and it would either kick people back to the menu or crash the whole client. We both tried hosting too. :/

I just played the demo to the game and it was fun, but jumping with Circle and attacking with X was weird. I'd like to assume like IG's other ports the buttons can be reassigned. So yeah, default controls aside I can see myself picking this up soon.
