update_notes_2014-07-12:
- disabled most visuals-only Helper state controllers in hope of reducing lagging in MUGEN1.0
* the Magic Item Show 「マジックアイテムショー」 ― D,DF,F,D,DF,F,z lvl2 super move still makes MUGEN1.0 lag though.....
Please download the Custom_OMK_Virgarra_light_patch_2014-07-12.zip update file from my OneDrive here: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=7DB65F02B0BBD12E&id=7DB65F02B0BBD12E!584
[EDIT]: oh the ESP Ra. De. boss bonus game is not playable much when MUGEN timer is set to 99 default, without an AssertSpecial timerfreeze flag....
a quick fix:
put these lines of MUGEN code in somewhere in Custom_OMK_Virgarra\Custom_OMK_Garra\Custom_OMK_Garra-2.cns
[state -2, AssertSpecial] ;Darkflare's reminder
type = AssertSpecial
trigger1 = 1
flag = timerfreeze
ignorehitpause = 1
persistent = 1
or
download the Custom_OMK_Garra-2_fixed_2014-05-26.zip from my OneDrive same folder and replace the current Custom_OMK_Garra-2.cns:

Dude....Ryo2005 is one of my favorite creators. Characters. Stages. I owe yim alot. A lot of the stages I dropped and recieved so much praise for(particularly my superjump conversions) use parts of or all of his stages. You keep right on listening to those accuracy whores at *insert lame forum*, that's your call bro. No offense, really. I can see where they coming from I guess, but ain't that serious.
Share your top/bottom # video game character name(s) in here yo!
Please put aside the visual and audio designs and game plays of the video game character name(s), just focus on the name itself, I mean the word or the noun (i.e. Peter, Susan, Hello Kitty...etc.). It can be related to the source game and its story though.
My top five (5) video game character names:
5) Sir Arthur
- from the Ghosts 'N Goblins series
* he took the name of a legendary king of medieval Britain, as a Chinese, I have been fascinated by Western knights riding white handsome horses in cartoons and movies. A knight in the name of "Arthur" gives me an impression that he must be a very brave and righteous man. I think all societies need some knights more than heroes because I think knights are smarter than heroes.
And I guess you guys know what it means by "white-knighting" something/someone.......
4) Lufia
- from the RPG Lufia aka Estpolis Denki series
* is "Luifa" an actual English female name (my English is bad.....)?
Lufia is said to be a separate personality of Erim, the Sinistral of Death. I really like the fact that the other three (3) Sinistrals can keep coming back when Lufia (Erim) has not been completely dead.
Name-wise, I note that most names ending with "-a" usually refer to a female. So, One Piece Luffy, after a gender switch, can be called "Lufia" too? LOL!
3) Edmond Honda (or the common E. Honda)
- from the Street Fighter II and up series
* everybody knows "Honda/本田" refers to a Japanese surname and a well-known Japanese car manufacturer.
I like the name "Honda" as a video game character as much as my favorite Honda car:
2) Thomas
- from the Kung-Fu Master aka Spartan X series
* a very common English mail name indeed, yet, to me, "Thomas" is a special name to me. It is because he is the hero in the world's first sideways-scrolling beat-em-up video game. Even the "Karate Champ", the world's first one-on-one fighting game, was based on the Kung-Fu Master aka Spartan X. The game itself was based on an old Chinese Kung-Fu movie "Wheels on Meals/快餐車", starring Jackie Chan (as Thomas) and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez (a sub-boss).
"Jackie Chan versus Benny Urquidez" was one of the most famous scenes of all old Chinese Kung-Fu movies:
1) Ax Battler / Kain Blade
- from the Golden Axe series
* wholly molly the Golden Axe series is my favorite Sega action game! Ax Battler / Kain Blade is my long-time Sega hero!
literally Ax might mean an "Axe" and Ax Battler might be someone who had battle against an axe wielder like the Death Adder, hence a "sword vs axe" battle. Not to mention I like a barbarian good guy as much as a brave and righteous knight. If you know my MUGEN forum habit, then you might have noticed that I have been using Kain Blade avatar since the first day in all MUGEN forums that I have registered to:
My bottom five (5) video game character names:
5) Son Goku
- from the Dragon Ball series
* according to my topic, Dragon Ball series is my top #1 anime, so why would Son Goku be in my bottom list? It is because, the Japanese name "Son Goku/孫悟空", was stolen from a character of a Chinese fictional classic novel widely known by Chinese people - the original Sun Wu Kong/孫悟空, the main character in the "Journey to the West", who is the king of all monkeys. This is the only part that I consider a "flaw" in the Dragon Ball series.
4) Gill
- from the Street Fighter III series
* in an English dictionary, "Gill" means an organ found in fishes. How could a fighter god like Gill use a fish's organ to name himself? Unless someone is going to explain to me why Capcom used the name for Gill, even he is my favorite SF boss, I am still not fond of his given name like this.......Seth in SF IV is a much better boss name, even though not so original......
3) Guile
- from the Street Fighter II and up series
* in an English dictionary, "Guile" means sly or cunning intelligence. Heck, Street Fighter Guile's strategy is too straight-forward to call it anything like sly or cunning! There are far many more sly and cunning characters than Guile!
Capcom's video game character naming convention is indeed very sly and cunning!
2) Akari
- from The Last Blade series
* I usually make a mistake that Akari = Akira because of their similar spelling. So confusing.....
1) Scharlachrot/Petra Johanna Lagerkvist/Lieselotte Achenbach
- from the Arcana Heart series
* now Arcana Heart fans are gonna hate me! I am not fond of long-assed and hard-to-pronounce names like these.......not to mention it is too hard to spell and remember too! As a Chinese, I only know of some popular English names and understand some of the meanings. But for these Arcana Heart ones, I have no idea at all.......
lastest kreation of mine i started dinkin' on a few months back ago [details in tha .def], nothin' too fancy mind you, & i was finally was able to finish it up just this morn; decided to drop it today.
btw: i did, & am doin', all of this from a hospital bed.
what.
Finally, after over 1 month of waiting, i released him! I worked on Ridley all of this time and fixed a lot of bugs while waiting. I also worked on few other things when i was bored like updated Norfair stage and Chaos Ridley`s stage called "Chaos".
He works like Infinite`s characters with few differences, but they aren`t really noticable...except for the lack of palette selector. His sprites look a lot better than my previous Ridley`s and he is just better than my previous Ridley.
I need your feedback quickly because i just can`t wait to make him better!
Also, i removed few things while working on him like alternate voices.
Link for him: http://www.4shared.com/rar/J0qt2j7uba/NewRidley.html
Video: unavailable for now because YouTube doesn`t works for me for whatever reasons, i will upload it soon.
Image preview:
Also, he has a special intro against Samus, Cloud and Sephiroth.
Note: since his sff file is very large (180mb), he may cause some lags. I don1t have any lags, but you may have them. And i recommend you to use MUGEN 1.1 for this character.
It is good to see you chose to continue your MUGEN'ing. Re-sharing your MUGEN stuff is your best decision made!
My case was worse than your case; yet I still try to stand in here (MFFA here only). "Caring is Sharing" is the most important motive for MUGEN hard workers like you.
A Visit to Video Game History Museum at GDC 2013 & 2014 (by a Taiwanese player, not me, Borewood2013....I did the Chinese-to-English translation for you)
This year of 2013 is my second time visiting the GDC (Game Developers Conference.
When I am on the Moscone Center floor, that rest area from last year has become a mini-showroom!
Video Game History Museum has been exhibited a few times during the Classic Gaming Expo or Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
Every exhibition uses different themes and shows different items.
This 2013 GDC consists of regions of a few themes - two (2) main video game console booths, an accessories booth, an arcade machine booth, and family games booth. The whole area of GDC is not huge, yet every exhibited item is not from half-assed collectors. Most visitors are gamers with quite a few years of gaming experience, so only the uncommon collections can attract their eyeballs.
The first point of interest is the ATARI 2600 rest area. No need to repeat ATARI 2600 history here.
The ATARI 2600 rest area decoration is full of the super classic wooden-framed T.V. set, on top of that there are some old black music records, sitting on the couch and looking at the ATARI 2600 games on the classic T.V. screen can really give me a 1970-1980s feel.
Some ATARI 2600 video game strategy guides! "How to win at E.T. The Video Game"....come on, when you bought this ATARI 2600 game you were already a loser! How to win? LOL
To the opposite side of the ATARI 2600 rest area, there is a small booth that displays ATARI related products.
There are some never-published machine prototype, and some merit stands ATARI obtained.
A never-published ATARI "Game Brain" machine! Most games it supports are games like "Pong!". It is said that this was a product that uses some recycled or reused chips that have never made it to the market.
Two (2) ATARI CX-2000 prototype machines in different colors. It is said to be a cheaper version of a modified ATARI 2600.
Again, it has never made it the the market.
This keyboard was made for ATARI 7800. During the days when there was not much difference between PCs and video game machines, almost every video game machine wanted to add such support. Again, most have never made it to the market.
I (the Taiwanese) don't have much love for ATARI. So I just browse ATARI area without details. Yet, I won't miss some very cool and rare ATARI items - the "Mind Link" accessory. "Mind Link" is an extra controller for ATARI 2600/7800. The player can wear it and use his/her brain waves to play games..........NOT! This accessory just tries to sense your forehead muscle and use the signal to act like a controller. In those times this was considered quite revolutionary! Yet, its fate was just as same as other unpublished products.
A non-ATARI item in the ATARI area! A PSX "Gense Kyokou Seirei Kidoudan -Elemental Gearbolt" deluxe box! It includes the game CD and the golden GunCon laser gun, golden memory card. It is said that this deluxe box was manufactured for video contests usage only.
So it may be the rarest PSX product to get because of its unbelievable price and extreme rarity.
Another non-ATARI item in the ATARI area! An X-Band prototype and its keyboard. X-Band was used for online gaming when there was only telephone modems. Nintendo SFC/SNES and Sega MD/Genesis also had some X-Band support. Sega Saturn SS online feature also made use of X-Band. Oh that Sega MD/Genesis prototype was made for online chat only and its publishing was cancelled.
Speaking of Sega, I (the Taiwanese) reach the Sega area! Start with a small booth.
Most items in this small booth have already been made it to the market.
Only a very few rarity like the "Twin Stick" for "Virtual-On". The "Twin Stick" is not uncommon in Japan or Taiwan, yet, it is quite uncommon to most Europeans and Americans.
In this small booth there is a Sega MD/Genesis and Sega CD development station.
"Treamcast" is an unlicensed made-in-China Dreamcast+LCD monitor-in-one product. The idea was probably borrowed from PSOne.
Like most other unlicensed modified Dreamcast machines, "Treamcast" was warned by Sega's legal action. Thus, not many "Treamcast" were going to the market. Dreamcast collectors might see it as a rare collection item.
Next, a Sega CDX - a combination of Sega MD/Genesis and Sega CD/normal CD player. What an ambitious product in those times!
I (the Taiwanese) bet this thing can cost a lot these days.
Now the legendary Sega machine in mystery! The Sega Neptune! In those times Sega used planet names for product code names.
"Mars" was intended for Sega MD/Genesis' hardware expansion 32X. "Saturn" was used for the nowadays' Sega Saturn SS.
And this "Neptune" was intended for a fusion of Sega MD/Genesis and 32X. Unfortunately the result of 32X was not good and at the same time Sega Saturn SS was already published to the market, the "Neptune" project had been halted!
Now this particular Sega Neptune in this small booth.....is it a real working machine prototype, or just an empty case? Just wondering......
Next to the small booth there is an accessories section. Some Sega stuff and some Atari stuff.
Old-style cardboard paper boxed game cartridges.
Some paper stand of "Sonic Adventure DX" and "Power Stone".
A "Sonic 3" T-shirt too.
A "NiGHTS into Dreams" cloth-made item.......not sure whether it is a T-shirt or a poster...
An UK Arsenal soccer T-shirt with a Dreamcast pattern! During the years of 1999-2001 Sega was UK Arsenal's main sponsor.
A golden "Virtua Fighter" sweat shirt! This was a game contest prize when Sega Saturn SS was firstly made it to the market.
Some more game related gift items and products for promotion purpose.
Some "Sonic" badges and some game cartridges prototype.
A "Propeller Arena" game CD for Dreamcast! It was an unfortunate product because at times of its completion, the 911 incident happened and this plane-vs-plane shooting game release had been cancelled! Wonder whether it will see the light by XBLA/PSN or not?
A "Virtua Racing" game cartridge prototype! This is the only one making use of SVP chip to achieve 3D effect for Sega MD/Genesis.
Some strange-looking accessories here. A "Pico" for chidren learning, a "Pods" toy that senses lights and sounds, and even a special box for keeping game controllers. The last one are an infrared red light sensor, and an "Activator" that made use of body movement control idea, which was published prior to nowadays' Kinect. The idea and technology in those times were okay, yet the application level was having some root issues......
A Dreamcast bag, a "Space Channel 5" lunch box, and a "Sonic" Party banner here.
Some early game badges, pins, and stickers here.
An "IR 7000" communicator! It is said to be an advanced computer and low-level PDA at the same time. It has a calculator, phone book list, and an infrared red light communicator for data transfer of text-only chat and simple versus games.
Yet, this "IR 7000" communicator was just a product Sega bought from Casio. You know Casio has been producing many similar handheld products.
Then here is a very cool Sega "Saturn Training Materials" booklet! And some video tapes too!
I (the Taiwanese) take a brief look at some pages but I don't really understand much because it is so technical!
A "Samba de Amigo" musical controller! On top of it there are a couple of 1980s' 7-eleven frozen slush cups with Sega pattern.
It is kind of amazing to know that even some old cups like those can be kept for about 30 years.
Sega Master System SMS' sports pad and 3D glasses here.
Some Atari pins here. Americans seem to like pins very much. Pins keeps to be the most common gift in GDC. Many visitors' back-packs have pins like these.
More pins and other promotional gifts.
There are some particular video game machines besides the side pillars of this area.
A "Puppy Pong" machine.........it is indeed just a "Pong!" machine inside. Adding some puppy decoration is for attract children.
A "Dr. Pong"? For doctors only?
Manufactured by Fuji, the "CX-1" combines a Dreamcast, a keyboard, a "Dream Eye" camera, a T.V. monitor and it can load Dreamcast games as well as be used as an online communication platform. This product does gives a futuristic feel in those times.
Does the back of the "CX-1" look like an alien or "Sonic"?
Besides the "CX-1" there is a "HKT-01" which was used for Dreamcast development.
A dissected Dreamcast joypad here.
In the middle there is a Sega test-drive booth!
To the Americans, Sega home consoles started with Sega Master System SMS. SG-1000, SG-1000II, and Sega Mark-3 have never made it to the USA market. Yet, Sega Master System SMS was still a modified Sega Mark-3.
Sega Genesis - the machine that helped Sega a lot in locating its recognition in the USA, as well as the not-so-successful Sega-CD.
Look, the Sega Genesis is showing the popular "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" game.
Actually I (the Taiwanese) quite like the Sega 32X. But it had some serious issues that might have brought much negative influence to Sega's home game console development.
This "Sega Genesis 3" is not common in Taiwan.
A Sega Saturn SS here. The US version of SS has a joypad that doesn't feel comfortable and a game CD case with not-so-admirable case design.
Dreamcast and Game Gear GG are very common Sega game consoles. The outter designs of both don't have much difference.
The litte bit uncommon one is the Sega Nomad! This is a portable Sega Genesis, and is about the same size of a Game Gear GG.
The screen looks a bit better than that of a Game Gear GG. Yet it still suffers from some screen flickering and blurriness.
Of course, it is pointless to compare it with today's standard.
Like in the Atari area, some non-Sega item is placed in the Sega booths. A Bandai's "Vectrex" machine.
This "Vectrex" machine supports vector-based games only. In those times 2D games couldn't do any vectors at all.
so it made the "Vectrex" machine quite unique.
Hey this "Vectrex" machine was made in Taiwan!
The next area is the arcade machines area. I only pay attention to some particular machines there.
An old "Donkey Kong" arcade machine! So old that its screen is all messed up.
Sega Turbo!
Look at the deluxe "Sega Turbo" driving interior!
A very cool TRON arcade machine.
Asteroids arcade machine. Although the photograph doesn't show, its use of screen after images and flood light is not found in even today's LCD monitor.
On the other side there is a Sega Saturn SS test-drive arcade machine. But there is no TV monitor inside that.
A Sega MD/Genesis test-drive arcade machine. This time there is no console inside that.
Lastly, the Sega game theme area. Since all Sega game consoles are located in the previous booths, there is none in here.
Rather, only a T.V. is put here to show some Sega advertisements.
A table of many retro Sega magazines!
A "Jet Set Radio" Sega poster on the wall!
Video Game History Museum at GDC 2014
Last year I (the Taiwanese) came across with the "Video Game History Museum" at GDC. This year the "Video Game History Museum" is still there!
Last year the "Video Game History Museum" which about Atari and Sega. This year it is Nintendo's turn!
Start from the display booth which shows Nintendo's early products.
Before the wide popularity of the video games, Nintendo was already existing. During those times Nintendo started with Hanafuda/Hanakaruta, and then expanded its business with a variety of playing cards, props, and toys.
This item here is a Roulette made in 1970 and it was aimed to the USA market.
A unique mini-Roulette. It has the Las Vegas TV station KVVU/5 label. It might be Las Vegas' related promotional gift.
In the year of 1967, Nintendo published a baseball pitching machine called "Slugger Mate". It was also aimed to the USA market.
A Nintendo toy set in the same year of 1967! "Ultra Hand" was quite popular in those times. It is said that there was a record-breaking sales (more than 1,000,000 pieces sold).
Then, Nintendo's video gaming business began! The 8-bit Famicom wasn't the first Nintendo's video game console.
The "Color TV-Game 6" published in the year of 1977 was the first one!
There was also a deluxe version called "Color TV-Game 15". In contrast to "Color TV-Game 6", "Color TV-Game 15" supported many more games. The controllers could be separated from the main machine body. Yet, it is said that both machines had the same output power, and both had the same number of games, just that some games were hidden in "Color TV-Game 6", while "Color TV-Game 15" showed all the games. The differences in prices and publish dates were also intended. Businessmen are generally sly!
Game contents were mainly based on "Pong!". They even called "1-player" and "2-player" with the same game, as two (2) different games!
The third in the "Color TV-Game" series was called "Racing 112". The look of it highly suggests it was a racing game machine.
What did the number 112 mean? Were there 112 different racing games? Not! In fact it means there were 112 different speeds, road widths, and road obstacles, as well as number of players. Those switches could result in 112 different combinations, yet the game available was only one (1).
The fourth in the "Color TV-Game" series was called "ブロック崩し". It is believed to be a game like nowadays' Arkanoid by Taito.
Perhaps the previous products was using exaggerated number like 112, this "ブロック崩し" didn't have any number label.
The first three (3) in the "Color TV-Game" series were co-operation projects with Mitsubishi. "ブロック崩し" was the first product developed solely by Nintendo. The shape and design were done by Miyamoto Shigeru, the "Mario's Father".
The last in the "Color TV-Game" series was the "Computer TV Game" machine. That machine was about Reversi/Othello chess game.
It was so rare that even in GDC here is no sign of it.
This red T.V. set item has no description. Just with a Nintendo label near its top.
After some research, I (the Taiwanese) got to know this has been used in video game stores for promotion purpose. The slot below the screen can be plugged in with a game cartridge.........NOT! That is a VCD slot actually! This red T.V. set item is believed to be a product during the Nintendo 64 age.
Another item without description! This one looks like a Nintendo Entertainment System NES. The "AVS" label might suggests the NES' prototype "Advanced Video System"? Still incorrect. After another research, I (the Taiwanese) got to know this item belongs to RetroZone, which is a shop specializing in video game modifications. This particular one was RetroZone's HDMI version of NES.
Just wondering why this kind of unofficial new hardware is put in GDC here.......?_?
The next display booth shows "Super Mario Bros.", "Duck Hunt", "Ice Climber",...etc....nothing special.....
Then I (the Taiwanese) look closely......there is a "Paid/Thank You" label on these boxes. Something not normal.
The hint is given by the big white label that says "Nintendo v. Magnavox" and some unknown code. What does it mean?
The answer is, these were the evidence Magnavox used when Magnavox had some lawsuit with Nintendo!
About that lawsuit result, Nintendo was the loser and Magnavox was the winner. I (the Taiwanese) don't understand those legal English terms, so I am not able to tell you about what their lawsuit was about (*run away*).
This is the classic Mother 2 (EarthBound in USA) RPG game box. In the second-hand market it has high value. In Japan the local version outnumbered the USA version. It then also had Gameboy Advance GBA version, later on even Wii Virtual Console had it too.
As a result, the price was not increasingly high in Japan. Yet, in USA, not only there was no GBA version, but also there was no Wii VC version as well. For long Americans could play the English version only on their Super Nintendo SNES. With extra large packaging and included strategy guide, this English version quickly became American SNES players' wanted gem. A second-hand EarthBound in good condition can cost up to US$450 and even more! By the way, EarthBound was finally ported to Wii U in the year of 2013.
Now here it comes a never-been-seen item. It has a "QSound" label. Might it suggest some similar technology used in Capcom CPS boards? That pair of speakers and included game controller might suggest "QSound" was once used on both Sega MD/Genesis and NES.
That "QSound" accessory needs a huge "QSound" main machine. So huge like an XBOX One?
Look closely at the audio hole on top of the game cartridges. My guess is, it has to be connected to the game controller set, and then combine with a T.V. set speakers to create some 3D Premium Surround Sound effect. Since this product has never been made it to the market, the actual feature and usage are unknown.
The next Nintendo display booth. Let's see what treasure I (the Taiwanese) can find.
Everybody knows of the most famous 8-bit Famicom (Family Computer) system. Nowadays players outside Japan can get a second-hand one without major problem.
(The 8-bit Famicom is my favorite video game console! - by Borewood2013, not by the Taiwanese)
Famicom Disk System (FDS), the disk system for the Famicom. It was intended to try to solve ROM game cartridge memory issue. Out of expectation the disk memory capacity lost to that of ROM. Games like "The Legend of Zelda" and "Castlevania" were in forms of game cartridge when sold to the overseas, and later on in Japan too.
Long before Virtual Boy and 3DS, Famicom already made use of 3D technology. Video gaming industry began 3D technology challenge in its early times. Moreover, this kind of challenge repeated every one (1) to two (2) eras. The challenge during the 2009-2012 eras was said to be a total failure. This Famicom "3D System" was sold in Japan only. It made use of shutter-type 3D glasses. Only seven (7) games were available. When ported to the USA, they replaced the shutter-type way with a even worse red-blue 3D glasses.
During the Nintendo 64 times, another disk system called "64DD" was published. It is said that it was intended to try to solve the ROM game cartridge memory issue like in the Famicom case. Nonetheless, "64DD" development was full of obstacles. Since the year of 1996 the publish date was delayed to the year of 1999. The timing was wrong and players didn't care much anymore. The networking accessory "RANDNET" service died with the short life of "64DD" as a predictable result.
Again some classic FC/NES games. Spot the point of interest yet?
The point of interest indeed is the golden "Nintendo World Championship 1990" game cartridge!
The game content was about "Nintendo World Championship 1990" games -- some "Super Mario Bros.", some "Rad Racer", and some "Tetris".
The players have to get the highest scores within a time limit. After the games, this golden game cartridge was given to the winner.
Only ninety (90) such golden game cartridges were manufactured. Later on Nintendo made 26 even more rare ones, for the Nintendo Power magazines. For now this might be the rarest FC/NES game game cartridge and its second-hand value can be estimated up to US$10,000!
Here comes the USA version of Famicom, the commonly known NES! It includes a laser gun and "Super Mario Bros." plus "Duck Hunt".
Some NES accessories here.
"I love the Power Glove, it's so BAD~"
Now some testing NES game cartridges used in Nintendo authorized repair centers.
"World Class Service Binders"
A NES test station here.
Now some testing SNES game cartridges used in Nintendo authorized repair centers.
Shining Nintendo 64 board! There are a couple of Super Mario drinks, and a Princess Peach bathing lotion!
See the golden "Punch-Out!!"? It seems Nintendo was fond of using golden coating!
This golden "Punch-Out!!" was also used as some Nintendo contest prize. For this one only 10,000 pieces were manufactured.
That upper binder is apparently holding game strategy maps. And this binder was used by phone-in-game-helpdesk staffs. If a kid called a helpdesk staff, the staff got an answer for the kid from the binder!
Some usual Nintendo Power magazines and some early many-in-one strategy guides.
This one might be NES' internal circuits diagram.
A SFC/SNES disk machine and its instruction manual. Taiwanese players shouldn't be unfamiliar with a SFC/SNES disk machine.
Yet this one is not of a common type in Taiwan. This should be a "Multi Game Hunter" by Hong Kong people.
A StarFox T-shirt and Mario Paint cap.
FC + FDS = Twin Famicom
It was made by Sharp.
A later model of Twin Famicom. The design looks different and the game controllers were given auto button function.
"The Legend of Zelda" board game!
"Donkey Kong" board game!
"Nintendo Demo Vision", one kind of GameBoy development platform. It has the ability to output GameBoy to a T.V. set or a projector.
On top of it there is a GameCube sponge toy.
More official documents here. Some of them are quite special.
This document looks like the talk cheat sheet for the Robotic Operating Buddy (R.O.B.) robot, and it gives the robot hints about movement instruction when it is talking.
The next document is even more special! That is the SFC/SNES CD-ROM confidential document! Not the one to be co-operated with Sony, but the one with Philips, right after breaking up with Sony! Of course the SFC/SNES CD-ROM ending was unknown.
The CD-i tragedy is another story......
A Nintendo knitting device!? It is not hard to imagine that, using Famicom to draw some pattern on screen, then send to the very device and knitting can be done right away! What a cool idea! Unfortunately the end product has never see the light. It pointed out that Nintendo should have had focused on video gaming only. Too many expansions would only bring failures.
Some advertisement materials for the aforementioned NES prototype AVS. And some Nintendo badges too.
A GameBoy Advance display.
A dissected GameBoy Color here.
"Famicom Box", made specially for some motel usage. It includes many games inside for the players to choose from.
The name is called "Famicom" yet NES controllers and laser gun are connected to the main unit.
The Robotic Operating Buddy (R.O.B.) robot. Under it there are several games for test-drive purpose.
The Nintendo M8 Demo Unit has the wrong "M82" label.
Now the assorted classic video game consoles booth. The left one showing "Super Mario Bros." is the Nintendo M82 Demo Unit. The one besides the R.O.B. robot is the Nintendo M8 Demo Unit.
A Game Boy test-drive booth does looks like a Game Boy.
The next one is the red-devil Virtual Boy!
A comfortable SNES test-drive area.
Last area is the arcade machines area. This area is not limited to Nintendo. It consists of 1970s-1980s arcade machines mostly.
But the machines are so old that some controllers are not working as expected.
This marks the end of my (the Taiwanese's) visit to the Video Game History Museum at GDC 2014.
I (the Taiwanese) look forward to the GDC 2015, in hope of seeing some more different Video Game History again!

It is good to see you chose to continue your MUGEN'ing. Re-sharing your MUGEN stuff is your best decision made!
My case was worse than your case; yet I still try to stand in here (MFFA here only). "Caring is Sharing" is the most important motive for MUGEN hard workers like you.
