DC Unreal Tournament or PCE Art of Fighting?

[VenomMacbeth]

Which should I get?

I'm loving the whole keyboard & mouse setup with the Dreamcast, and I want to relive the memories of hearing my stepdad curse from all the way across the house while playing online.  I've never been much of a PC gamer, but I may never go back to playing FPS's with a game pad.

However, I'm also very anxious to expand on my PCE CD collection & I actually don't have any fighting games for the PCE at all.  Also, I'm a sucker for special graphical FX (even if they're jarring & headache-inducing) and it blows my mind they were able to pull off "scaling" with the hardware.

The point is, I've got about $10 to drop on a game, and I think either of those would be $10 well spent...unless you guys have any other suggestions. :/

$10

Go with Unreal, honestly there are better ports of Art of Fighting.

There is a collection with all three on the PS2. Have a ball, or two.. or mine. It's all the same. Have fun!

SPANAKOPITA!!!

Super quick update, right on the heels of stuff!

Here's one for an okay price or something from some assholes on evilbay.

Oooh you totally suck...a couple days ago, I ordered a copy of Half-Life for the PS2.  It's probably the game I want the most for the system.

...except I have no PS2 yet. x_x

Add to that I have no real interest in Ryuko no Ken on its own (I'm honestly not a big fighting game person).  So, I'm not likely to get that PS2 collection...but I might if it's cheap.  I do need more PS2 games, anyway.

Btw Hail, you like being a "Dean"?  That must kinda...suck?

Half Life on the PS2, fun times. Last time I played that I had the invincibility cheat on and fell in a pit or something and got stuck. Wouldn't have been a problem, but I hadn't saved for a few hours. I got pissed. lol

Also, 24, you're dead, you know that, right?

I hate FPS, but you might want to get Unreal. I'm sure it's a much better FPS than AoF is a fighting game.

I actually do like AoF quite a bit, and while the PCE version is weird, I like it. I still have like 80 fighting games I'd rather play though, many on PCE.

[EvilEvoIX]

Art of Fighting.  I have 1-2 on my AES and I have still yet to beat them  SO hard.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Art of Fighting, duh.  OBEY [X-----------------] DC.

[PCEngineHell]

I'd rather get AOF. It's a pretty impressive port anyway on PCE. Unreal Tournament isn't bad on DC all things considered, but honestly just doesn't hold up well to the pc version, and the pc one is dirt cheap anymore to buy.

[bob]

unreal is too good on PC to even consider a console version.

AoF all the way.

[SignOfZeta]

His budget is $10.

[EDIT] And yes, I know the Windows version is probably $0.05, but in these days of phones and tablets and whatnot, you can't be sure someone actually has a fully functioning Windows machine that can play games of long ago. That's why I mentioned the budget thing.

[bob]

i missed the budget part.

buy a pack of smokes.

Unreal Tournament GOTY works fine in Windows 7, but as is, its offered up via GOG these days also.

Outside of that, yeah not many other ways it is offered up. Then again, I cant imagine someone who is into games not having a viable pc of some kind.

[VenomMacbeth]

Actually, every computer we have is now dead.  I now do all my computing on my phone.  Hooray. -.-

[SignOfZeta]

I only have a 6 year old Macbook. It had a Windows 7 partition specifically for things like this, but I deleted it when I realized I hadn't booted into it in a year.

I have a couple of really terrible PCs that I only keep around for running Substation Alpha. I haven't a clue to their gaming potential.

I enjoy video games.

[PukeSter]

Unreal Tournament is really fun, but all you're gonna get are bots.

Do people still play the PC version?

[VenomMacbeth]

Is there any way to do split screen on a dreamcast with mouse & keyboard? (Probably a durr question)

I think you are over estimating the requirements for Unreal Tournament GOTY. Any low budget Windows XP machine could run it as long as the cpu is in the 800mhz range and the graphics card is on par with a Nvidia TNT or ATI Rage 128. This includes gpu's like the onboard Intel Extreme graphics. If someone had something like an old Dell laying around, odds are the Dell would run the game fine if the Dell is from 2000 on up.

At any rate, just strikes me as odd that people would get by without a pc in the home. I mean yeah, it can be done, but personally I hate trying to type on tablets and phones, let alone do normal web browsing and online purchases on them. Even for casual use that feels painful to me. I guess though if thats all you got, then thats all you got. If anyone does care to do so though, you can buy cheap Athlon 64 and Core2Duo computers on ebay now. Would make good Xp legacy machines for old games.

I laugh watching my family fiddlefuck around on tablets at the table.

They look like cave people.

I had a 400Mhz/512MB PC back when UT was released and it played the game just fine with a 64mb 3DFX card installed. Ultima 9 on the otherhand hated that PC. I even played through the Half-Life games with that setup with little trouble.

Those were funny times around ten years ago. I was in training for CNC machine programming, and our class sat bored in the computer room since everybody had finished their programs with still some hours to kill unattended. The next time this happened, I was prepared and brought Unreal Tournament with me. The CD I had didn't need a proper install and was just copied to the HDDs. Then we had a great time with a dozen players in UT over network.

When the headmaster had a glimpse into our room suddenly, we all were soooo close to being caught. We were lucky bastards since the speakers of our computers were muted and you had to come and turn around from the door to see what happened on the screens.

[esadajr]

really love what they did with AoF on the PCE, in general all the SNK PCE ports are worth owning.

For the foreseeable future I will have an actual computer, most likely a MacBook. The one I have now is getting old, but computers haven't really advanced much since I bought it so it still runs everything but games really well (I don't play computer games).

The phones and tablet stuff is fine for times like when I'm bored at work (this moment, for example) but when it's time to get shit done I need a real machine. You can't run Logic or Photoshop on some doodad with a 1GB of RAM, that can't properly multi-task, only has a single input socket, etc.

What you can do on a phone just fine now is buy tons and tons of shit, which explains the popularity of them. Now you can buy shit while riding a roller coaster, while taking a shit, while driving 80mph down the highway. It's the American Dream in your ketchup stained hand.

I've never had my problem laid out before me so clearly...shit...
