Opening Snide Remarks: Earthquake is cheap, fat, and cool, too!

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Well, it's standard fighting fare. SD characters 
beaten each other up. Actually, it gets pretty fun with the items 
falling like bombs and plates of food. A and B do attacks, different things 
for each other. Also, there is an impressive list of characters, all of 
the arcade originals are here, if you activate a code to get 3 more guys.

Liked: Variety, tons of characters

Hated: Nothing

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Shoot me, I love SD characters. But the 
backgrounds are nice, when you first play each character you see a scene and 
their background story. Between fights is the usual banter. Odd stuff.

Liked: Ability to easily tell between characters

Hated: no GBC support for multi-pallete

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Audio is good. Changing music, sound effects 
with each attack. Nothing spectacular

Liked: Pork

Hated: Turkey

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Challenge is alterable and the control is 
great. With three buttons you can do A, B, and A+B with directions so many 
moves are possible.

Liked: Lotsa Moves

Hated: Nothing

****************************************************************************

Improve: GBC Support! And um, EXP builiding, uhm, battery back-up...and 
Foy should be a secret character, like the Referee

RIYL: Street Fighter II, Power Quest, Mortal Kombat I & II (The one 
with both on the same cart)

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Ippon!
