Weird how the cabinet has the English manga logo on top. I'd prefer the robot cabinet myself.

Heh, that game used to be at my local bowling alley. That shit was hot. No lie, they have the characters from the Cell saga ( Dr.Gero, #18, #16, Perfect Cell, SSJ2 Gohan, SSJ Goku, SSJ FutureTrunks, SSJ Vegita, and Piccolo). That game is worth the price thrown up for it.

It is from 1993, I think, so it is pretty old. I don't know how many of those badboys are still floating around but when I find one, I will f*** with the owner until I get it. You can best believe that :wink:

Its a legit game, I've heard of it before. But the machine just doesnt look right, especially with the Viz style logo on it.

Nah man, despite its appearance the machine runs fine. It has the characters moves(which aren't difficult to pull off at all) infront of the control panel. I think that is the only decoration on the whole machine aside from the "Viz" logo.

The animation is a 4/5 in my book. It would remind you of a Street Fighter game minus the level 1-3 power gauge at the bottom.

I had my own little reasons as to liking the game. It was very unique and differed from a lot of DragonBall Z fighter. For an example, if you choose SSJ Goku, before the battle Goku Shunken Idou's onto the screen then transforms into a Super Saiyan and his top burns off. Basically you play with a topless SSJ Goku.

From its appearance, I think it may be the second one (seeing as how that is what it looked like the last time I played it). If it was the first one, I don't see how it could have been any better.
