Which Visco games would you like to see?

Post by Grey Fox »

Bit of a random one and I know JoshProd have a.....mixed......reputation at best but I was just thinking about how they clearly have an agreement or licence with Visco to port (or at least emulate the Neo Geo originals) on Dreamcast.

They've already released:
  • Andro Dunos (plus made a sequel)
    Bang Bang Busters
    Breakers
    Captain Tomaday
    Ganryu
Obviously the quality of these releases and the price etc are all up for conversation but given the following games make up the Visco titles on the Neo Geo:


Goal! Goal! Goal!
Puzzle de Pon!
Neo Drift Out: New Technology
Neo Mr. Do!
Battle Flip Shot
Puzzle de Pon! R
Breakers Revenge
Bang Bead
Koi Koi Mahjong

Nothing outstanding but some half decent titles in there.

Personally, assuming they sort the emulation out, I'd love to see Neo Drift Out: New Technology as I played it a fair amount. Maybe a compilation disk with say Goal! Goal! Goal! and Battle Flip Shot and say Puzzle de Pon.

Obviously the other debate is that you can already run these on a Dreamcast via emulation etc however I do like having proper releases with nice manuals etc

Always liked Mahjong. Think it would be a good candidate. Even with sub ideal emulation, in a puzzler it shouldn’t be that noticeable

I appreciate the efforts to get more games released on dreamcast, but even if it were 1999, I don't think I would have been interested in any of these Visco games. They are all from the early to mid 90s for the most part and reflect that era's style and sensibilities. I know I know its the neogeo... but I get about as excited for these as if someone were making pressed discs that played a single SNES rom from 1993. ;) The neogeo rom appears unchanged here, even the how to play/controller config options reflect the neogeo controls rather than the DC's pad. It falls short of feeling like a polished commercial release to me.
