I am getting old. It happened before I knew what was going on. I've spent the last 25 years living in the 90's while remaining functional in the 2000's (only functional). 8/10, when I look back to the 90s, I remember going to the arcade in the Birdcage Walk (a nice strip mall that was in my hometown of Sacramento) and playing this. I remember the first time seeing it in action. I was mesmerized, I still am and have at least 2k hours logged on this game since then. Thank god for the developers of emulators and arcade resellers on ebay.
I have consolized "phoenix" versions of this as well as MvC and X-Men vs Street Fighter.
