Any decent Fighting game arcade machines in the Northern VA area? I visited the movie theater in Manassas and came across some decent Fighting game arcade machines. They had Virtua Fighter 4 (in good condition), Capcom vs. SNK 1 (also good, but the Low kick input on P1 side only responds when you let go of the button) and Tekken 4. I live near Manassas and Gainesville and I was wondering if there are any other machines close by that area that I don't know about?
What was the Holographic arcade game I played in Spain in 1989? When I was much younger (7) I went on holiday to Majorca with my parents. I remember mainly playing the arcade game Pacman Adventure but I recall another: I seem to remember that it used 2 mirrors to create an actual 3D holographic image. The hologram was green in colour (or the whole unit might have been green - I cant fully remember) and the theme of the game might have been a wild west thing. Ive never seen anything like it since and Ive always wondered what it was. Any ideas?

Whats the name of the arcade game very similar to Bubble Trouble? I played this game on an arcade machine (or whatever its called) about 10years ago.

Characters there were boys with hats and in the background were usually some famous places/buildings/paintings like Eiffel's tower or Rome Colusium.

Can somebody tell me the name of this old arcade game? There's an old arcade game that I've been trying to remember the name of. There's a laser that you use to trap a big wormy type thing. Maybe it's not a worm, but in my mind it looks like one. And then, I believe it gets longer as time passes. You try and trap the wormy thing into the smallest place possible, by using the laser to block out parts of the background. I made a very quick drawing in paint. The green lines are the laser and then light brown thing is the worm. The black things are just rocks or whatever... Anyone have any idea? http://i3.tinypic.com/2wg87r4.jpg

And if you know or still see these machines in good operating condition. Please tell me where to find one. Thanks!

How do I access the audit screen on an Arcade Game? I want to get free plays on the Killer Instinct Arcade game by Nintendo and Midway circa 1994. I do not have access to the inside. I can unplug it. I have 8 hours to play at work and no one to see. Any one who can answer this would be most appreciated. I have googled for manuals, hacks, and anything else I can think of. The instruction manual numbers are DO0035 from 1995 and 16-40047-101 from 1994. I cannot seem to find the actual manuals though. Just the numbers. I got those from http://www.andys-arcade.net/personal/manuals.htm. So here is the challenge. Find the way to get free plays without opening the machine. Now that you have your challenge lets see who can conquer it. This does involve a little bit of hacking. Have no fear. My company owns the machine. Therefore there is nothing illegal involved. I do not want to use slugs...I already know how to fish with the quarter and string. I want to use to the audit screen.
What will be the future of two-dimensional animation or 2D, in the animated film and video game arcade? The 2D animation in recent times has achieved remarkable progress to merge with 3D animation. The computer has facilitated significant progress when it seemed to have reached an impasse. The spectacular achieved in films like Titan AE, Castle Ambulante, Treasure Planet, The Road toElDorado, Sinbad, or Spirit, to mention some of them, a few years ago was unthinkable. Some think that, somehow, traditional animation has already begun to die, because although drawings continue 2D drawings, with the support 3D technology is becoming larger. But surely continue for long. Although since July 2003, have not developed new films 2D animation in the U.S. after Spirit, Treasure Planet, Titan A. E., While in Asia, and especially the Japanese animation, things are very different. The computer is completing entering, while in the West already had in the 1980's movies that use the computer, like Basil mouse super detective Disney of 86, where his final scene, while Big Ben, the elements mechanics are 3D computer. In Asia, only after completing the second half of 1990, begins to make its appearance and timidly, Princess Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaqui and Los Ghibli animation studios, has only 15 minutes where the computer makes its appearance. Currently, has undergone a major expansion, but adapted to the rigid production processes in place of cel shading, but not 3D, as in Spirited Away My neighbors or those Yamada, fully digital, despite being 2D. In other cases, the computer takes over the mechanical elements, funds and colored, blending with traditional 2D characters, as in the series which follow the established aesthetic in Blue Submarine No. 6, whose nearest example could be reached Spain Sol Bianca . Even the 3D, pure and simple, this introduced by Japan. Does the evolution of the traditional 2d animation, which now develop hybrid 2D/3D movies, will lead to 3D digital animation films that succeed in giving a 3D animation finished 2D, as the upcoming "Rapunzel" and "Up!" Disney to develop, and this with Pixar, and that seem animated watercolors? In Dreamworks on the contrary everything you make from 2009 will be in 3D, supported by technical and stereoscopic not be new animated films such as hybrid Spirit, Sinbad or anything like that (if indeed someone was waiting for him), due to closure 2D its division by the failure of the animated film Sinbad. The explosion of novelty, the 3D potential and has come to stay. There will be a fad, but over time, the 2D return covered at the end of the boom and nostalgia at the time. Or rather, as stated the web Dreamers, over time, the waters again on track, and different types of animation including coexist and complement, and animation will open up new avenues. In video game arcades like something is happening, Games like "Rumble Fish" and "Bttle Fantasy", were designed by the same people who revolutionized sprites, with the drawn Hi - Re, Apartado 1998 with the arcade "Guilty Gear", with works like "Fist of Northern Star" . Sammy and Dimps have worked some more arcades, with drawn sprites, before concentrating its work on the estates and drawn with Cell Shading. Even knew that sooner or later sprites or 2D bitmaps, as elements of drawing, would be dead. Capcom has become Street Fighter game in a hybrid between 2D and 3D gaming, in its fourth issue, with polygonal graphics and cell shading, because according to them "sprites in high definition involve an impossible job." Street Fighter IV has impacted, but still fall far short of what we achieved today sprites or 2D bitmaps… It has developed long ago, polygonal graphics of single plane or scroll motion, and we have seen interesting things like: Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer, Ultimate Ghosts' N Goblins, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2, Bionic Commando rearmament , Raiden III, or Battle Fantasia, that inspired designers Street Fighter IV While it is true, do not achieve quality graphics, which now gets a good design or bitmaps 2D sprites, because it takes a few polygons and textures worked to achieve very beautiful graphics, which often is not achieved, getting only photo realism. Cell-shading, not today equates to a drawing plane, because however much they place the camera in a single plane side, is complicated polygonal disguise the origin of the characters, or objects that make up the different scenarios of arcades, On the other pate , A game in fact you do not need the 3d animation Fluid in the arcades that get drawn sprites with Al 2D or 3D bitmaps still lacks naturalness. Although it is expected to be improved technically and ending finished giving a more artistic. Some sites, such as forums and EOL Gamercafe, speculate on the possibility that, when Cell Shading improved significantly more in the future, for polygonal graphics in real time, who knows if you can emulate a chart or 2D sprites bitmaps, or even get to overcome if it is worth. What do Vdes. on this whole issue of traditional animated films and video games of sprites or 2D bitmaps? I suppose that both will go hand in hand, aunuqe do not know if the game industry is moving behind the animated film being an industry where less and less invested in their development and innovation.
