What was the most influential arcade game during the arcade era?
Naturally, it is a must-have game for all arcades, such as "Kombat Whirlwind", "Famous General", "Knights of the Round Table", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dinosaur Kombat".
Nowadays, games that have a little bit of fame, manufacturers can't wait to create the latest sequel to continue their popularity. This makes everyone wonder: why haven't these classic games made a sequel?
Years later, we found out that some classic arcade games were actually licensed as mobile games. Although we all know that this is a consumption of feelings, it is still a little gratifying to see them continue in the latest game. "Contra", "Metal Slug", "Dinosaur Kombat", "Street Fighter", "The King of Fighters", ...... In the past, we were excited whenever a mobile game was launched, but after seeing more of it, we found that we couldn't stir up any more ripples in our hearts.
In fact, many years ago, these arcades that we are familiar with have authorized guest appearances in many games, and these games have a good reputation, retain the characteristics of the characters, and are officially recognized. These are the games that really deserve our attention and memories.
Today, I will reminisce with you about the games that the arcade game "Famous General" has made cameo appearances.
Before we get into that, let's take a look at the original artwork of the original version of Celebrity Generals and see if it changes your perception of the game.
Commando Captain, the initial image:
1992's Capcom World 2
In a certain period of time, quiz games suddenly became popular, and we are familiar with "The King of Fighters Q&A", "Capcom World", "Q&A Search Line", "Education Committee of the Republic of China", "Crayon Xiaoxin Q&A", "Dating Q&A", "Super Encyclopedia", "Maruko Q&A", ...... were born during this period.
SNK and CAPCOM added classic characters from their games to the quiz game and designed new looks. So we have the new image of "The King of Fighters Q&A" and "Capcom World" that we see.
The game doesn't have fight scenes, just answer questions, and any villains and enemies are solved through questions and answers. This requires players to have a certain amount of knowledge and insight. The questions will be related to games, life, chemistry, physics, enlightenment, ...... Includes some sensitive topics
Famous figures are the most eye-catching here, and everyone has the latest image. But they all seem to be amiable, and the boss battle only needs to answer eight questions, and the answers are correct to pass the level.
Here, apart from the four playable characters in the game, everyone else is a supporting character, including Chun-Li, Carol, and Poison.
They are the highlight of the game, and the quiz game does not protect their physical privacy, if it weren't for the low quality of the game, it is estimated that the game would be a serious violation.
Violation without coding:
Poison, Carol Shake, CAPCOM deliberately exposed their privacy as a way to motivate players to move forward. Fortunately, this kind of game was not introduced into China back then, otherwise with our limited knowledge and unfamiliar language, if you want to see these three beauties, you have to memorize the "characters", which is too difficult.
1998 "Comic Book Hero VS Capcom"
This version was preceded by Marvel VS Street Fighter, and due to the huge popularity of the game, a sequel was quickly put on the agenda. A year later, "Comic Book Heroes VS Capcom" was presented to everyone, and the Commando Captain became the protagonist again, leading the members of CAPCOM against Marvel.
In this work, it can be said that there are a gathering of stars, and CAPCOM has almost all the games that watched at the time, and each character has a super high popularity, including characters from shooting games, air combat games, fighting games, action games, and mecha games. One of the biggest highlights is naturally the appearance of all the "Famous Generals" team.
The Commando Captain's skills in the game have been rebuilt and continue to shine in the fighting game. I didn't expect the captain who was always bullied by miscellaneous soldiers in "Famous General" to be so brave. Maybe it's a heads-up or a group fight of different nature!
In 2000, "Manga Heroes VS Capcom 2" was released, and although the captain was no longer the protagonist, their team was still there and still had super popularity.
This time, the image of the four people has been updated again, and it looks cooler.
The combined special move has always been a forte for the four of them, and it can unleash group fighting tactics in both F1 and F2.
What's even more outrageous is that the combined special skill can also be combined with other characters to play more gorgeous moves, as long as you have enough energy tubes, then the opponent's HP is not enough.
In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Captain Commando only makes a cameo appearance on a poster in the backdrop of the "Days of Future Reversal".
Namco X Capcom
Namco X Capcom is a PS2 simulation strategy RPG released in May 2005 by Namco after acquiring the rights to Capcom.
The game is more elaborate, with at least 200 characters participating. All of them are the most popular characters in Namco and Cap Sky, including Namco's "Kronoa of the Wind", "Legend of Fate", "Xenoblade Legends First Series: Will of Force", "Iron Fist" series and other characters; As well as Capcom's "Street Fighter" series, "Demon Village" series, "Justice Private Academy", "Demon Warrior", "Famous General", "Dinosaur Crisis" series and other characters
The plot of the members of the "Famous General" in the game has been expanded again. In addition to the four protagonists, ninjas, mummies, captains, and robots, the original miscellaneous soldiers have also become highlights.
Namco actually knew that Kai and Xiang were both martial gods, and specially created a combined kill for them.
Carol first appeared with the second level boss Harpoon Shooter.
Harpoon shooter "Shotrom JR" actually has a leg with Vega, and the two villains are in a cooperative relationship and exchange benefits with each other. The boss of the Harpoon Shooter is still the final boss in Famous General, and his cooperation with Vega is a consensus between the two bosses.
While the two villains were arguing about the data, the Commando Captain suddenly felt. Representing justice, it naturally wants to stop the villain's evil plans.
But single-handedly, he fell into disadvantage a lot. Fortunately, all the decent people came at the critical time.
After Carol was defeated, he was actually let go by the captain. The relationship between the two is really inexplicable.
No wonder the poster looks like this:
The spiritual sequel to "Namco X Capcom" is "Crossover Project 2", and the famous members still appear as cameos (assistance).
In addition, he also appeared in "SNK vs. Capcom: Card Warrior
《Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3》小卡片

《Capcom Super League Online》队长还是被取消了，人设图被保留下来。

Street Fighter V Nash has access to the Captain skin
The live-action Commando Captain in the trailer of the arcade "Famous General" was released that year
After years of vicissitudes, players have long been smoothed out by the years, and they no longer have the "ambition" of the year. The arcade stick at home has been in the corner for many years, and I found that this "between the lines" reminiscence game has a unique flavor, after all, this is our best youth!
If you read slowly, you will find details that you hadn't noticed before, and even contain a certain culture and a certain story.
When we were young, we only cared about playing games, and we missed a lot of scenery along the way!
