GameSetLinks: Beyond The Rainbow (Edition)
March 12, 2008 12:41 AM | Simon Carless
Aha, one of the most amazing art forms out there is that of the hacked 2D fighting game, and one of the latest GameSetLinks finds a Street Fighter II bootleg infinitely more crazy than the (pictured) Rainbow Edition - extremely awesome.
On this type of subject, my colleague Brandon Sheffield has been traversing the globe of recent, getting interviews (well, he was out in Texas last week at Gamecock's EIEIO, and at Capcom's press day on Monday!)
One of his chats was with Street Fighter II remixxy supremo David Sirlin, so expect to see hyper-detailed discussions about Dhalsim's hit boxes (or whatever extreme gameplay-balancing nerds talk about!) up on Gamasutra in the next few weeks. Anyhow, onward to the linkses:

Oh, Street Fighter II bootlegs! 'Kouryu is a game that seeks out to make Rainbow Edition look normal by lacing it with PCP, and it is an overwhelming success.'

I still think this is too bonkers to work as a business, but it's conceptually awesome.

Just spotted this at Best Buy, an EA coffee-table book, has had absolutely NO press, looks intriguing. Very odd.

We got the EA coffee table book for free here at work. It's pretty much what you would expect - a general history with big color pictures. Nothing spectacular.

What is wrong with the republican party? Do they want to do ANYTHING for the country and the people besides criticize EVERYTHING Obama does or tries to do? Do they have any better ideas on Healthcare reform? Do they try to work with the Democrats at all or do they just stir up the people and try to brainwash everyone into thinking that Obamas plan is bad and he wants to kill the old people and on and on and on. Pullleeeeeeeese! Isnt it a fact that a lot of the republicans are getting money from lobbyists for health care officials, insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies to stop the healthcare reform? I know its a fact. And it is in the MILLIONS!!! Why doesnt anybody talk about that? They are crazy. They are not here for the American people they are all in it for themselves. Wake up America, the people need to take a stand against our congressmen and boot them all out of office. When the president puts forth a plan or a bill, let the people of the United States decide.
