MAME ROW #48 - The King of Fighters 2000

[AndersHP]

All my NEOGEO games runs off the FBA romset, so technically I cannot participate in this MAME ROW if KOF wins, can I?

[dankcushions]

@andershp sure you can. mame2003 supplies the pool of games. you can emulate them however you want assuming the settings are the same (dip switches etc) which they almost certain will.

@andershp look at the 2nd note in the OP:

2. There's no need to use RetroPie to join the MAME ROW! You can play it on any platform you want.

@obsidianspider A good opportunity for me to learn the special moves.

[Fruitybit]

@udb23 Ha! I wondered why this random chap would turn up and join in the fray!

[obsidianspider]

@udb23 I'm awful at fighting games. It's even more difficult for me with a D-Pad.

@gtbfilms You figured it out, but there are two arcade games called "Off The Wall". The original video posted here is otwalls.zip or "Off The Wall -- Sente". The Sente game is actually really fun with two players. The standard controls included a L-R stick and a spinner for each player (2 players). The spinner controls the racquet arm which you can spin around and around like Tron, and the stick controls player position.

Off The Wall -- Sente is actually one of the reasons why my cabinet has two spinners. My grade school friends and I used to play this head-to-head over and over at the local arcade. It's like a combination of racquetball and tennis. One of the fun parts was that if you win, you get to play again while your opponent (or new challenger has to drop a coin to play! I don't expect many people have the arcade control setup to play it with two-players, but you could map an analog stick and a d-pad to play it.

Anyway, OTWALLS is different than OFFTWALL as you noticed, but I wanted to throw in a quick thumbs up for OTWALLS!

Pretty sure this record isn't going to stand for long but here's my first couple of attempts.

A little late and off-topic (and with a touch of "no-one-gives-a-f$%#k") post.

When I was trying the games for MAME #48 I thought Tube Panic would win and tried it more than the others. Here's my best score: 39342
