Speaking of arcade obscurities, Wildcat (I think it was him?) pointed this game out to me some time ago - The Eye of Typhoon. It's a 1996 Korean arcade fighter from Viccom, which was also released in the 3DO of all things. Looks pretty neat, but I know next to nothing about the company, which is disturbing to me. Some Viccom games are emulated these days, so it might be possible to dig up. You can check out a video of the 3DO port here, unfortunately with 'don't steal this' text all over it. There's no way of knowing if it's simply a bad port, or if the original is that jerky - but given the size difference of the sprites in the port and the sprites in the screens on the first site, I'm willing to guess the port is rather different. It's also clearly not a great capture. So who knows, really!
