My M.U.G.E.N. Days

=============M=======U======G======E=======N=============
Whoa?! What the?..Yoh of Shaman King Versus those two gnomes errr.. i mean two rambo wannabe from Metal Slug Series.. What kind of fighting game is this?.. Well, ill tell you what it is..

Lets start of with this simple acronym M. U. G. E. N. ....stands for............i have no idea lol..even the people who made this cant recall what it is hahaha...

So M.U.G.E.N. is freeware...yep "Free" ware... Its Actually a 2d Fighting Game Engine created by Elecbyte..This engine is written in C language with Allegro library..if you're wondering what is allegro library?!, well its an open source software for video game development which focuses on 2d graphics..thats why it explains why its a 2d fighting game lol... This software is available for DOS, Linux and yours truly windows..

DOWNLOAD here - get started with M.U.G.E.N.
PATCH Download here - required for M.U.G.E.N. to work

So what can you do here? This engine allows you to insert created characters, background stages, and other game objects through interpreted text files, graphics, and sound compilations to create a functioning fighting game similar to commercial games like Marvel vs. Capcom, X-men, StreetFighter etc.


So pretty much, a lot a combinations of characters, stages and themes can be put here.. All can be downloaded and you can also create your own, that is if you know how the system works and how to program using its designated language.
Its really fun actually, imagine ultraman fighting off wolverine haha..

Till this day, i believe a lot of people is still playing and creating and uploading necessary files and update for this game engine. all can be found in the internet.

Another great fact about this software is that it isnt just for playing and brawling Superman against Dragon Balls' Son Goku.. It also involves a little programming and coding in order for you to add characters,stages and themes which greatly helps in improving your learning and logic wisdom.

You can edit and add using a text editor like notepad then overwriting or saving it in its appropriate folder of your M.U.G.E.N. files. Contains Simple codes, easy to understand..(note: You know C language..then you'll know this!!).

I remember the days when i was addicted in m.u.g.e.n.. I spent hours looking for new characters and fighting them off one on one, arcade mode or team battle. I cant even remember when i started playing this but boy it was long months lol...Anyway, i got a new addiction now but i still keep a copy of m.u.g.e.n. somewhere in my program files.. All i can say about this is.. FUN, really entertaining and crazy!! you can never really imagine in the first place shooting daredevil with eugene's ray gun hahaha. So if you're a Fan of Animes, Marvel, Capcom, Snk, and other Jap chars you can think of...This is a Must for you! Enjoy! M.U.G.E.N. Ruless!!
