(ゼ　キング　オブ　ファイターズ　’９９　エバルション SNK Best Buy)

Maker - SNK   Catalogue No. - T-3109M

Type - 2D Beat'em up

Since my original version of this game is in a right state I decided to buy this SNK Best Buy re-release.  The game is identical to the original bar the front and back art work which is quite an improvement I think.  I have to give SNK a big thumbs up for releasing their best collections in normal looking cases.  Normally some companies just use the original art work surrounded by some new "Cheap Version" logo or they slap a big sticker on to the cover.  Not SNK though.  They give you a brand new cover that looks like an original release.  That's what we like to see.

Anyway, the game is quite a disappointment after the beautiful Dream Match 1999 release with it's 2.5D back grounds.  This game is identical to the original Neo Geo version.  While this is no bad thing it does look extremely dated on the Dreamcast.  Later KOF games on the Dreamcast seemed to run in a higher resolution than this one making them look that little bit more modern.  But it's not all about looks is it?  The King Of Fighters '99 Evolution is a good solid fighter that any fan of the series will enjoy.  I just with that SNK took the time to spruce it up a bit like their previous Dreamcast King Of Fighters game.
