- Now, I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but it's puzzling... My
- initial confusion was "if it's illegal, why could Capcom have put one in
- one of their own arcades?" Perhaps there is more than one version of
- the accelerated game running around, or perhaps the one in the first
- poster's local arcade was a stolen chip which the clerk put in the old
- box without having to pay Capcom to get the official turbo game.
-
- Puzzling...
