kingking 3rd · February 16th, 2006

I had played 3 series and they are great and like ARCADE but with gun is a waaaay better however its fun on PC anyway. My crappy geforce4 can run them no problem!

Oalboukharey · February 18th, 2006

but if u had the latest ATI graphic card (that is able to re-render the blocky polygons), will that work and suport it?

and will it be able to use its features aswell?

KanedA · February 19th, 2006

I forgot to mention that baside that it's avarage... I broke my mouse playing it

The pc port was just a saturn port, not the arcade port. I remember sega used to release alot of saturn ports to the pc around that time. There were several games I remember such as virtua fighter 2 and daytona.

Anyway to answer the question the game does not have the arcade's graphic. It has the saturn's graphics. You can tell by looking at the polygon count and the texture quality.

the graphic can't be very advanced if it worked well on pentium mmx 200 and trident video card

Hey, i was looking at some screenshots of the game for the PC, and to my amazement, i saw that it looked a whole lot worser than wat i am playing now! and the PC one looked less blockier.

i literally thought this was the Saturn one, but it was screenshots from the PC version.

they were from Mobydick.com
