Nowadays, pushing patches is as simple as bandwidth and locking out those without them. Back then, you really had to push those patches across meatspace.
Not exactly Microsoft, just the people that worked on the game. He made a few trailers for some of the characters and I think help write the stories for said characters. His dog is even a skin for Sabrewulf.
No. Just NO. RARE is dead. But then, if you front the $5 million, surrrrre. But telling you now, I personally would not buy it. Now if it was FULL TEAM RARE from 1994, HECK YES! But alas, they are gone. So, sadly, confidently, no.
I played it back in 95 (yeah I know it was a little bit late but I live in Mexico and at the time at a small town so it usually took a long time for arcade titles to arrive) it was the most amazing experience, the graphics were by far the most advanced and the most awesome I had ever seen, and the music oh man the music.
Fox McCloud Or they thought he was a good voice actor. Just like Charles Marinet who voices Mario from the , well, Mario series. And also Paarthunax from the Elder Scrolls series.
Wow they send the team to fix 17000 arcade games because of the few glitches, and todays game industry will ship out a half unfinished game knowing there's glitches and won't do anything about it until the first few thousand gamers start giving complaints
Alejandro Bernal remember when you had to pay a 100 bucks for a game back then? ... now you can get games for less than 10 ... or 5 even ... too bad quality adapdet torwards todays pricing ...
well, I attribute the fact that they reused the same character models since you can spot this in many of the arcade endings. Spinal's origins was never confusing since it was crystal clear, but I think it makes far more sense that they reused the skeleton model to represent Eagle's soul in Thunder's ending.
They should bring back Eyedol in the new one. Seeing the awesome job they did with Riptor, Spinal, and all of the other characters, I'm pretty sure Eyedol would be a kickass addition.
Ask and you shall receive, my friend! In Season 3, Eyedol was added! But be forewarned; he looks… a little different! Also, did you find the fact about Robert Patrick interesting? I did!
Killer Instinct is rated T and most of the Mortal Kombat is rated M. If they make Mortal Kombat X Killer Instinct it probably will be lower to a rated T game.
I knew a good amount of this but you guys definitely helped me attain more knowledge to one of my favorite fighters. If you learn any more Killer Instinct knowledge PLEASE do another KI video!
I still remember when I first played this game on my SNES and thinking about how awesome Glacius looked whenever he would transform his limbs and sink into the ground.
Cool video. Lots of interesting bits. Killer Instinct was one of my favorite games to play in the arcades growing up. KI2 will always be my favorite but I have to admit it's hard to go back to nowadays after playing the new one on the Xbox One.
Orchid also has an Infinite Combo as well. In the Nintendo Power KI Players Guide it lists it as a Psycho combo. This combo also works on the Arcade Version as well.
Winter Blizzard I'm not a fan of *Rare Ltd.* but I would like to tell them what gamers want play instead of the crap they're making. I'm hoping to start my own video reviews, not sure when but hopefully I will.
I never really reacted to DYKG facts in a way that was almost jaw dropping before, but once I heard the part about sending a team to every Killer Instinct machine is probably the closest to that reaction yet. Knowing how companies work and manage their finances, that's absolutely insane.
Man, while I dislike all the constant updates we get now a days, it certainly is easier for companies to not have to physically travel to everybodys houses. Although it would be cool to have Nintendo knock on my door and say they're here to update my game.
***** I've looked into the manga once, and read the part where Luffy punches the guy's skull back to being pointy again. (The bald guy that Garp punched, can't remember his name.) Point is, it took the anime about 5 or 6 episodes to finally get to that. Maybe that's considered close to others.
You must live for those to spot those like a hawk would its prey. I don't think anybody seen it (or care like you)? (Plus the zero likes would confirm this?)
With Spinal you can glitch morph into some of the other characters and pull off their ultra combos. Try this: Against Thunder: trigger his spinning tomahawks, use middle punch triple stab combo to push Thunder away and then morph with quick punch. Spinal with turn into Thunder and completely miss the first hit of the ender and glitch the game so that Spinal stays as Thunder. Against Jago: form a good distance away charge forward and once Jago just gets into range press fierce kick back middle punch and then morph with quick punch. The morph will be so far away that it completely misses the first hit of the ender glitching the game and allowing you to stay as Jago. Against Saberwolf: This one is a major PITA to pull off. Turn on easy combo breakers. Start a combo and morph using middle kick and instantly hold up. Spinal will both jump and morph starting the ender in the air, missing and then landing the last 2 hits into Saberwolf's block. If you are lucky Saberwolf will counter with a combo before Spinal can change back allowing you to do Saberwolf's combo breaker. This glitches the game allowing you to stay as Saberwolf. Doing an ender or leaving the ground will unglitch the game and you will morph back. The trick is to do a simple 2 (or more) hit opener and then do the ultra combo move while glitched to steal your opponent's ultra combo. It is very likely that you can use Spinal's jumping morph to trigger other characters to block and counter but I have never pulled it off.
I don't playing fighting games anymore besides Smash, but I always used to play this on my SNES. It has a special place in my heart and dat Killer Cuts OST.
The backgrounds were cleverly pre-rendered FMV's that would scrub left or right in the timeline depending on the characters' location. I remember seeing it in the arcades and being impressed how they could pull off movie-level CGI backgrounds.
Wrong... the arcade version of Killer instinct DID NOT HAVE CD QUALITY SOUND, and the sound samples were not on the HDD either, the sound came in 8 512KB EPROMS, labeled U10,U11,U12, U13, U33, U34, U35, U36.... and it was mono sound only... the HDD only had GFX data.
You got too much goddamn time on your hands. Does it even matter? that crap was a decade and a half or so ago. We didn't care for sound coming straight out of the era where all you heard in video games were *beep* *boop* *FFFFFFF*
Dammit I knew this should've been a TBFP episode. Even Matt did the research for this episode, might as well just let him and Woolie do the narration for this episode.
Still one of the best fighting franchises around. Loved the classics and loving the new one. The speed and adrenaline is simply unique and addictive and fun. Also KI houses some of the best fighting characters iv seen.
To those saying the new one sucks, grow the fuck up. I played both when they came out, I even have both on the Xbox one and the new one is superior in every single way.
+ViDeOMaStErPaUl IKR, but hey, they have a name. They're called Nostalgia Freaks. Thankfully, now they all died out and shut the hell up. I L-O-V-E The XB1 Remake!!!
Killer Instinct... The first game I ever played. I remember it clearly. I was about 3 or 4( I'm 17 now) and we had a Super Nintendo. We had a bunch of games but I only played Killer Instinct cuz it was the only game we had that I liked. I truly don't remember what other games we had on the SNES. This game turned me into what I call a Fighting gamer and I couldn't be happier because if it
Sorta sucks his Nintendo helped them but then couldn't use them anymore. I felt like rare was Nintendo answer to Sony's naughty dog. I don't hate the new KI on Xbox one but I can't help but wonder how Nintendo would have been with rare help
Rare had nothing to do with KI on the One. Rare had, for a long time now, even before Microsoft's acquisition, been making terrible, unsuccessful games. That's the big reason why Nintendo sold them off to Microsoft in the first place. Rare still hasn't made a widely successful game since, and it's doubtful they would have done any better with Nintendo.
Connor Stewart No, Nintendo owned only 40% of the company. When Microsoft bought a majority stake in the company Nintendo decided to sell because they would no longer be getting games anyways.
Billybiscuits13 I guess it would be more accurate to say to financially unsuccessful. Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Banjo Tooie, while both great games, sold far, far less than either Rare or Nintendo hoped (most people attribute this to lack of Nintendo promotion), and while Star Fox Adventures sold well, the gameboy games Nintendo had them develop didn't, and Nintendo no longer considered Rare a brand that consistently brought in profits.
Cinder wasn't bad, you just had to avoid jump attacks against him. The dash attack was his only good ground initiator. Long as you stay grounded he's pretty easy to deal with. Spinal was actually the broken character, luckily very few people could play him well.
***** I don't think I ever had problems with Cinder on arcade but I played a lot of Saber Wolf who has an opposite control setup to him. Glacius and Riptor were my alts. I was 16 or so back then so I played favorites still. TJ Combo was way under played he was really good. I still pick him to punish people when I play the SNES version cuz he has an 18 or so hit combo just using light punch if I remember so I just fight them with one hand. Looks more impressive that it actually is of course but people still think the game is all about getting huge combos when any good player would break anything over 5 hits.
***** I'm not talking about the computer. I played in two local tournaments in the 90's. All I did when I was a kid was take $5 and spend the whole evening at the arcade playing KI. The 2nd tournament I played had a shot at top 3 and this older 70's looking arcade guy destroyed me with Spinal. It was the day I learned respect for that character. I'll never forget being 16 and getting wrecked by some 40 yr old guy in a button up shirt.
If it did that, the game would be severely outdated. The new iteration managed to keep alot of what made the old ones great while adding alot of new mechanics to the formula. It's a solid revival of an old franchise. The only reason people would disagree is if they suck at the game....
Nintendo would have killed it dead. The characters would all be mario/zelda characters and the combo system would have been dumbed down so little kids didn't throw their console across the room. frankly the characters and their diversity is what makes a fighting game so if nintendo still owned rare and they made another ki game it would be called super mario instinct and it would continue to super mario instinct 142. There. The reasons why double helix and microsoft should continue to be owners of ki. Iron galaxy broke my baby sabrewulf. >:(
***** we all know they cater to the general audience and ki is a game that does not to cater to the general audience. You have to be willing to learn it's core mechanics and spend time mastering it rather than having a quick go while on the bus. Also the new one is very good but IG broke sabrewulf!
That's an unfair comparison. They both have their merits, and Street Fighter is vastly more popular and mainstream with a much richer history and a million games.
Was able to find a complete boxed copy with the cd still shrinked wraped in its original packaging for 20 bucks like new. I remember playing this and Donkey Kong Country back on the SNES in the mid 90's
This game took my by suprise in the spring of 1995, totally blew me away. I remember walking into a mall in MA, I saw a crazy long line and HAD to see what it was, of-course KI.
The struggle was real for patches back in the arcade days.
Fo sho.
Lol look at the struggle people had to go through a little over a decade ago
Nowadays, pushing patches is as simple as bandwidth and locking out those without them.
Back then, you really had to push those patches across meatspace.
it was
Nanami what are you doing out school?
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPREME VICTORY!!!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'VE never actually played Killer Instinct. :c
FLAWLESS VICTORY!
PERFECT!
Did you know? Maximillian actually worked alongside Microsoft in the creation of the new Killer Instinct.
Not exactly Microsoft, just the people that worked on the game. He made a few trailers for some of the characters and I think help write the stories for said characters. His dog is even a skin for Sabrewulf.
Yeah he worked with Iron Galaxy
Right that one.
Imagine getting paid to road trip around country just to patch arcade machines.
More than 17 K of them. Lawl
Now that's paid dlc.
Sounds like a dream come true 😭
The 90s seem like a prime time to travel to make bank off game trends 😂
BRUCE LEEROY 🤣🤣
They should do a Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat crossover called *Mortal Instinct* or *Killer Kombat*
No. Just NO. RARE is dead. But then, if you front the $5 million, surrrrre. But telling you now, I personally would not buy it.
Now if it was FULL TEAM RARE from 1994, HECK YES!
But alas, they are gone. So, sadly, confidently, no.
warrengonline Lets say someone nukes Microsoft HQ within a few minutes and Rare would be free and work with Nintendo. Would that please you?
***** Hopefully that would free Mojang as well.
***** umm are u sure that if they someday do get out of ms that they wouldn't just go 3rd party
Mortal Instinct: Killer Kombat
So awesome that they called Max Dood to narrate this.
Fun fact, Did you know that Sabre appears in Rareware's game Banjo Tooie for the N64 frozen in ice in the hailfire peaks level.
God damn it, that music. My Killer Cuts CD lived in my cd player!
It's like a flyin' saucer!
We are controlling transmission
I still have mine!
5:40
I'd love to see a documentary or a road movie based on that.
Hell yes!
Dayum, I never played this game despite it being such a classic, and now I feel like I'm missing out x~x
That's capitalism for you, but it is a fairly good fighting game for its time.(2014)
YOU ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!1!!
This coming from a creepy pasta reader?
Clarence Brown you mean 1995
I played it back in 95 (yeah I know it was a little bit late but I live in Mexico and at the time at a small town so it usually took a long time for arcade titles to arrive) it was the most amazing experience, the graphics were by far the most advanced and the most awesome I had ever seen, and the music oh man the music.
the fighting in this game was so intense and still is...best fighting game ever
GOAT
I grew up playing KI, it was my fighting game of choice back in the day.
Did you know, the voice of the KI announcer (Chris Sutherland) is also the voice of Banjo and Kazooie?
No
wooow Rare is cheep using the same guy
Fox McCloud Or they thought he was a good voice actor. Just like Charles Marinet who voices Mario from the , well, Mario series. And also Paarthunax from the Elder Scrolls series.
BlazinVoid ya i was joking
Fox McCloud Also, nice account icon.
Eyedol is called Billy by his mother....get it?
No.
***** like Billy Idol?
UndeadFlygon
:l Still no.
***** You don't know who Billy Idol is?
UndeadFlygon
Nope. :l
Max is here? This DYKG got more awesome by a whopping 9001%!!!
Actually, its his second video in DYKG, the first was Street Fighter.
Lalo Flores. Still, it's awesome. :)
HYPE!
sooooo, it just got 20% cooler? :3
Inspectornills
....Don't even...
I'd totally play as a character called MR. FIST!
Wow they send the team to fix 17000 arcade games because of the few glitches, and todays game industry will ship out a half unfinished game knowing there's glitches and won't do anything about it until the first few thousand gamers start giving complaints
Alejandro Bernal Nintendo has a serious track record of releasing finished games on day 1. You had to when it was the cartridge days.
Alejandro Bernal
remember when you had to pay a 100 bucks for a game back then? ... now you can get games for less than 10 ... or 5 even ... too bad quality adapdet torwards todays pricing ...
that never happened. what were you playing, neo geo?
John Redcorn when were you born 1995?
+Alejandro Bernal LOL. The TRUTH, it burns!

"Did you know? Killer Instinct BEGIN as a street punk themed fighter..."
Great sentence, Max.
Fulgore was based off the terminator, predator, and a medieval knight. All warriors who wore metal armor
NOW THIS IS GAMING! love this game, brings back so much memories! Its history only makes it better!
If I had the money, I'd buy a KI1 and KI2 arcade cabinet.
You and me both.
KI was my favorite fighter next to SF2 but I hated KI2.
0:33 my whole life I was so confident TJ combo was a boxer but he kicks in that little clip tf
Rare, Midway, Mortal Kombat X Killer Instinct.
Only on XBox One.
Killer Instinct is rated T and most of the Mortal Kombat is rated M. If they make Mortal Kombat X Killer Instinct it probably will be lower to a rated T game.
xavierdsejour1 Nah they would keep it at M and just make the finishers in Killer Instinct bloodier since they can.
It really wouldn't be rated T. Killer Instinct could easily be Rated M and it wouldn't be any different then what it already is.
Daniel Sutton Actually, that would depend on the direction Microsoft would want to take it in, seeing as they own Killer Instinct.
I knew a good amount of this but you guys definitely helped me attain more knowledge to one of my favorite fighters. If you learn any more Killer Instinct knowledge PLEASE do another KI video!
The best fighting game ever👍🏻🎮
Yes
I still remember when I first played this game on my SNES and thinking about how awesome Glacius looked whenever he would transform his limbs and sink into the ground.
Did you know? IGN buttfucked their Killer Instinct review and it remains one of their most uninformed reviews since the God Hand review.
Really?
Epicosity780 Really man it is
Separate Cloud
Im scared to watch it now. I hate IGN and I dont want to hate them more...
Epicosity780 They give complete misinformation about the free aspect of the game, among many other details.
Ugh I remember that now, bad memories.
DAT THEME SONG
That's one hardcore update.
Cool video. Lots of interesting bits. Killer Instinct was one of my favorite games to play in the arcades growing up. KI2 will always be my favorite but I have to admit it's hard to go back to nowadays after playing the new one on the Xbox One.
Oh hell yeah! The moment I saw this pop up I thought "This would be the perfect thing for Max to be in on"... So chuffed he's the voice! XD
Orchid also has an Infinite Combo as well. In the Nintendo Power KI Players Guide it lists it as a Psycho combo. This combo also works on the Arcade Version as well.
Did You Know... my house is quite near to *Rare Ltd.* I'm not kidding its true.
Good go and tell them that we want the toads back in action
I would if I have a bigger army of fanboys.
K, go over and ask why they started making shit games when Macrosoft bought them.
Winter Blizzard I'm not a fan of *Rare Ltd.* but I would like to tell them what gamers want play instead of the crap they're making. I'm hoping to start my own video reviews, not sure when but hopefully I will.
Still remember the day my dad bought me my SNES with the Killer Instinct combo. It came with an awesome sound track! Good times
I knew it would be Max when I saw that it was KI.
Really amazing episode .. one of my favorite games growing up as a kid... i still play it to this day
You guys should do one on Unreal Tournament and Tekken.
The Soundtrack was awesome, I still have my cd that was bundled with the game for the SNES
Brute Force is a shooter on the Xbox Original.
Nice! It's always fun when episodes of Did You Know Gaming involve older Rareware games.
Do the Arkham series.
Yeah!
All the yes
Maybe. But if they do the Arkham series it will be much more focused and the facts will be all the more fun. :D
I never really reacted to DYKG facts in a way that was almost jaw dropping before, but once I heard the part about sending a team to every Killer Instinct machine is probably the closest to that reaction yet. Knowing how companies work and manage their finances, that's absolutely insane.
Man, while I dislike all the constant updates we get now a days, it certainly is easier for companies to not have to physically travel to everybodys houses. Although it would be cool to have Nintendo knock on my door and say they're here to update my game.
Honestly what surprised me the most was that the Battletoads arcade game was considered a failure. Personally, I LOVED that one.
Under 301 club, Morgan freeman must be proud
TheLegendaryRK9 yes! Shinning running forever!
TheLegendaryRK9
Wait, did he not still do that in the manga yet, or do you just follow the show like me?
*****
Wow. I was gonna say that the manga is pretty far ahead of the show, and just how many episodes are left in the arc. It's so looong...
*****
I've looked into the manga once, and read the part where Luffy punches the guy's skull back to being pointy again. (The bald guy that Garp punched, can't remember his name.) Point is, it took the anime about 5 or 6 episodes to finally get to that. Maybe that's considered close to others.
The first game I have ever played and completed was Killer Instinct. This is a big part of my childhood. Thanks for making this
I play the original KI on the super nintendo
I don't know why this bugged me but at 0:27 to 0:30 they said did you know that killer instinct "begin" ... wouldn't it be began? past tense.... =(
Lol how did I not notice that
"Did you know, Killer Instinct begin as a street-punk themed fighter called 'Brute Force'?"
Damn it Max, you had one job
I can't believe the Battletoads arcade game was a commercial failure, that's the best one imo.
Someone earned an achievement during the recording for this video. Near the end you can just see it pop before it fades to the end card slate
You must live for those to spot those like a hawk would its prey. I don't think anybody seen it (or care like you)? (Plus the zero likes would confirm this?)
When i was a kid my dad sold his friebird to get a killer instinct arcade cabinet we still have it today
I couldn't think of a better person to host this episode! I love Max!
Eyedol!!! you have to embrace your mothers love bro!!!
I thought that as a fucked up ending
And i don't believe in overkill
Dudes, a KI cabinet is my personal Holy Grail. That style of graphics is so period specific and it's just such an awesome game!

YES!

Exactly! Better than Mortal Kombat

They act like of Nintendo would have made one if they still had Rare especially now in days

We need more Killer Instinct.
why does the snes:s Killer Instinct looks more fun then the xbox one:s?
What do you think. It's because it was Rare's. And we all know what happened to Rare.
Hen LP yep, I wish there were more big companies with compassion. I miss rare.
Cuz nintendo
The Xbone version is good though...
It doesn't though, the Xbox one version is fun as hell.

I salute those workers that updated all 17,000 arcade cabinets of Killer Instinct. That's some mad dedication from Nintendo.

Good job on this DYK Gaming Max. Maybe you'll do more in the future?
wish there was a new one on wii u. oh wait xbox bnought rare and sunk them into the ground.
You'll be OK. Also, they were sunk before MS bought them
Do we need KI for dead console Pee U? Have fun with your mario fighting game

Connor Stewart No, Nintendo owned only 40% of the company. When Microsoft bought a majority stake in the company Nintendo decided to sell because they would no longer be getting games anyways.
Billybiscuits13 I guess it would be more accurate to say to financially unsuccessful.

WhiteTakumi That, and because they believed that the 40% stake in future games wouldn't be financially viable.
KI is the most 90s fighting game of all time. Nothing but memories on this game and the new one is so good.
Is it weird/bad that this was the very first video game I ever played?
+Carmen Austins why?
It's pretty cool.
I can't even remember what was my first game. LOL
Witcher
heh, me neither...it's a toss up between smb and donkey kong arcade.
@@gozinta82 I was about 3 years old when I first played this
Killer Instinct. best fighting game ever
Cinder= Captain Broken
Cinder wasn't bad, you just had to avoid jump attacks against him.
The dash attack was his only good ground initiator. Long as you stay grounded he's pretty easy to deal with.
Spinal was actually the broken character, luckily very few people could play him well.
*****
I think the unbreakable combo with Orchid was a glitch on the SNES version. I don't remember it being in the arcane.

I don't think I ever had problems with Cinder on arcade but I played a lot of Saber Wolf who has an opposite control setup to him. Glacius and Riptor were my alts.
I was 16 or so back then so I played favorites still.
TJ Combo was way under played he was really good. I still pick him to punish people when I play the SNES version cuz he has an 18 or so hit combo just using light punch if I remember so I just fight them with one hand. Looks more impressive that it actually is of course but people still think the game is all about getting huge combos when any good player would break anything over 5 hits.

I'm not talking about the computer.
I played in two local tournaments in the 90's.
All I did when I was a kid was take $5 and spend the whole evening at the arcade playing KI.
The 2nd tournament I played had a shot at top 3 and this older 70's looking arcade guy destroyed me with Spinal. It was the day I learned respect for that character.
I'll never forget being 16 and getting wrecked by some 40 yr old guy in a button up shirt.
While the characters were iconic, I think more-so the music and the "killer instinct" voice made the game cool. :)
LET'S GOOOO!
Awesome video! Well done Max. The only thing I didn't know was that BattleToads was a failure in the arcade.
I wish Killer Instinct would go back to its former glory. The Xbox One version sucks compared to the Super Nintendo and N64 version.
I don't even own a Xbone and I think the new Killer Instinct is amazing.
Lol you're so wrong... The new KI makes the old ones look like garbage. The new one is so much more fun and smooth
Jetman2021 You're not exactly making a point for yourself.
Not having to pay for characters sound soo good
If it did that, the game would be severely outdated. The new iteration managed to keep alot of what made the old ones great while adding alot of new mechanics to the formula. It's a solid revival of an old franchise. The only reason people would disagree is if they suck at the game....
dude i wouldnt ask for noone else to do this voice over nice job
*LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!*
I love Killer Instinct!! great episode
This series should have stayed with Nintendo...
Why? It's a hit on xbox one.
Nintendo would have killed it dead. The characters would all be mario/zelda characters and the combo system would have been dumbed down so little kids didn't throw their console across the room. frankly the characters and their diversity is what makes a fighting game so if nintendo still owned rare and they made another ki game it would be called super mario instinct and it would continue to super mario instinct 142. There. The reasons why double helix and microsoft should continue to be owners of ki. Iron galaxy broke my baby sabrewulf. >:(

>combo system would have been dumbed down
Sure thing Alex.....
***** we all know they cater to the general audience and ki is a game that does not to cater to the general audience. You have to be willing to learn it's core mechanics and spend time mastering it rather than having a quick go while on the bus. Also the new one is very good but IG broke sabrewulf!
Alex Haines Like seriously? That's your argument for why its a good thing that Rare left? Somebody sounds like a mad fanboy.
I like to think Max wasn't invited to this, he just felt someone talk about KI in his heart and started walking.
Street Fighter > Killer Instinct
Tekken,Smash Bros and Blazblu-Every other fighter
haha, no
Perceval Dragmire
haha, yes
That's an unfair comparison. They both have their merits, and Street Fighter is vastly more popular and mainstream with a much richer history and a million games.
well, I still prefer killer instinct for the chracters and the combat style
Thank you for doing my suggestion from way back in December of 2013!
Uh, at 3:59 there's a huge mistake. The music is stored in the game's ROM chips, not in the HDD.
Was able to find a complete boxed copy with the cd still shrinked wraped in its original packaging for 20 bucks like new. I remember playing this and Donkey Kong Country back on the SNES in the mid 90's
This game took my by suprise in the spring of 1995, totally blew me away. I remember walking into a mall in MA, I saw a crazy long line and HAD to see what it was, of-course KI.
I cannot imagine having to get that phone call and hear "you will be installing this update to every machine". I hope those folks were paid well lol
