But what are the games like? Any chance of some videos or screen shots?

Well, here's some info on the games from a quick play-test of each last night. I intend to get some screenshots / vids up at some point, although I have just taken on a large amount of freelance work to a close deadline so the sceenshots might not be for a few weeks.
1) Mortal Kombat 8 - Top Fighter
This doesn't appear to be a Mortal Kombat game at all, but a Streetfighter hack. It's got a bunch of wierd characters, including "Gees", a few SF2 characters and what look like a couple of Dragonball Z characters and some other randoms I can't identify. Backdrops look like they're lifted straight from SF2.
The funniest thing is the intro screen and the following montage if you wait at the title screen. The title screen is two heads facing each other, one looks like some kind of bald-headed boxer and the other has a slightly oriental look. Fair enough. But then. Oh boy! Leave it a few seconds and you're treated to a montage that seems to be a selection of random clips from various other games mashed together - first, a boxer comes along and punches out what looks like a player from a basketball game, then there's a few random basketball animations and a couple of unidentifiable fighters popping up onto the screen. It's truly surreal, and I'm afraid I laughed so much I didn't take it in too well. I'll try and get screenshots and/or video up sometime, it's hilarious.
2) Mortal Kombat 6 - 28 People Midway
As far as I can tell this is just a fairly straight pirate hack of one of the existing Megadrive MK games with a slightly adjusted title screen - although not being a MK aficionado I couldn't tell you exactly which one it is. There are indeed 28 fighters to choose from on the menu screen, although some of them appear to be duplicated.
3) Mortal Kombat 5 - Sub Zero Mythologis (sic)
Saved till last as it's the most interesting. This one appears to actually be a completely new game, albeit a rather **** one. It's a side scroller, you play Sub Zero and jaunt along through some supposedly temple-like place. You have a punch and a kick attack, and a low punch and low kick attack, and you can jump and turn round. However you don't appear to be able to do jumping attacks. You have three lives and a health bar, and have to fight baddies along the way, avoid acid drips and pillars that attempt to squish you. I didn't get much further than that, because the squishing pillar annoyed me too much. Plus I'm hungry and haven't had dinner yet.
Anyway, that's the lowdown. A little bit disappointed that there wasn't a bit more to 6 & 8 than that, but I was kind of expecting it. Nicely suprised by MK5 though - crap as it is, you have to give some respect for the attempt to actually make a proper new game.Comment

A 16 bit version of this (terrible) game? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_...gies:_Sub-ZeroSaved till last as it's the most interesting.

Wow, didn't think to look on YouTube. That's definitely the one! Although I gave up quite early on, partly because I wanted to try out the other games and partly because I got to a section where you had to run under a massive pillar that squished me every time and I couldn't be bothered to beat it - made me think of Galaxy Quest "What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. We shouldn't have to do this! It makes no logical sense! Why is it here?"
Interesting to see that you can actually do jumping attacks. I didn't manage to pull one off. And also ice attacks, plus picking up keys and unlocking stuff. Pretty impressive for a pirate genny game, even if the gameplay is a bit dodgy.Comment

Excellent find. Super Potato in Akiba have this running on demo in their rare game cabinet. Had many a minute laughing at the intro. Interestingly enough this was labelled with a big "?" as to what it's title is. Any game that has Michael Jordan vs Muhammad Ali has got to be worth a lookOriginally posted by Tirian View Post

Very nice find there Mayhem, I've been after a copy of Starcraft 64 myself but it's hard to come by.Originally posted by Mayhem View Post
Sorry guys but I won't be posting a picture of my full SNES collection just yet as.
One: I'm not going to be back at my parents house for some time.
Two: my SNES game are all over the place as I don't yet have any where correctly store them, so digging them out isn't fun.
Three: setting up 200+ games, three console, a super scope, two super gameboy, and some other stuff would take ages.
Four: Because I'm a lazy ass.
Take your pick out of the above reaons.
Some day I will post some picture, when I've added some more games to it as well.
