What the jizz is F Zero 2?

[BlueBMW]

A repro cart of what I guess was a japan only fzero 2 for sfc.  I absolutely love fzero and never knew til a few years ago that a sequel existed on the sfc.

Very cool.  The Gamecube F-Zero is about as good as it gets.  Is there a site that sells these, or did you find it on a forum:

I've played F-Zero: Grand Prix 2. It came out on the Satellaview and is almost exactly like the original F-Zero, to the point where it could pass as a ROM hack.

Nice pickup on the MS5 cart, Beamer. Only Slug game I am missing. Hope you snatched it at a good price.

I got the Fzero2 cart from bust3dstr8 and the slug 5 from kidpanda on neo for $75 shipped.  Dont know if its a good price or not.

The Neo Geo MVS Price Guide lists Metal Slug 5 with a low of $60 and a high of $100.

1. That is not a repro, that is a homemade cart. somebody put together. A true repro, is a duplicate of the original.

2. I did encounter F-zero 2 on the net for the Super Famicom, It has a box and everything.

3. F-zero two just has slicker looking everything. One of the reasons why it was never released, in the west. The soundtrack is the biggest difference, and track sizes, I think.
Of course I can't think because I am Mameless. I am thinking about that, now........you know terms.

I love the N64 F-zero, it is just right, for a 3d game. The GCN got the shaft because they took out a feature, in the west version. I would play F-zero on Kal.

Huh? I was going to say your are comparing apples to oranges, but I just don't know now.

Those Neo Geo carts always blow me away.  I have luggage that isn't that big.

Nice! i just got into the SSX games this last boarding season, borrowed SSX3 for ps2 off my cousin. Fun game, and very impressive graphics for it's time...it actually simulated the vertigo/high heights feeling very very well.
