[QUOTE]Vampire blew my mind. None of my friends cared, but they had to listen to me scream in their ears "It's STREET FIGHTER...ONLY WITH MONSTERS! MONSTERS!" and it was fun enough for the time.[/QUOTE] I think Vampire is unduly maligned, and that if Capcom had never made any sequels then it would be thought of in a better light. "Street Fighter...Only with MONSTERS!" is exactly the opinion I had of it when I first saw it in an arcade. My second opinion was "Not a crappy Street Fighter knock-off either!" For everything improved, added, and fixed in the later games, the first wasn't in itself a bad game. I see Vampire in a different light than I see CvS1 or All Stars. Vampire was fun for its time, fairly well produced, decently thought out, and better than a lot of the competition. CvS1 was a game where you could just read the description and could tell there were going to be problems. Things like the handling of the SNK characters in general don't feel like they were thought out at all, but rather just thrown out with the idea that it would be fixed in the sequel. That pretty much defined the game for me, something that Capcom didn't even try to do well, but rather just released with the idea of fixing/finishing it in the sequel. And All Stars, without ever playing it, just flat out looked like low quality design. Evolution/Jam I guess showed that they really didn't have the budget or manpower or desire in the long run.
