Lucha de las Estrellas

I was thinking it would be pretty cool to have a game like Def Jam: Fight for New York , but with some classic (or not-so-classic) latino singers. Who would you pick and what would their special move be? Here is what I got so far:

• Pedro Infante - throws his charro hat Kung Lao style
• Vicente Fernandez - pulls a tequila bottle out of his back pocket and spits fire
• Jose Feliciano - shoots bad ass lazer beams from his eyes

Comments are open. Let me know what you got.

Legend of Kage

I always enjoyed playing The Legend of Kage as a kid. The first time I played it was at an arcade in Mexico and I remember it having the coolest backdrop I had ever seen in a game. I went back to playing it this week and the landscape still holds up for me. I did up a desktop wallpaper with a couple of tweaks for my pc at home and figured I’d make em in a couple of other sizes in case anyone else wanted them. Here they are:

• 800×600
• 1024×768
• 1280×1024
• 1440×900
• 1600×1024
• 1680×1050
• 1920×1200
