Thrill Kill
If you liked Wu-Tang, you'll LOVE Thrill Kill. This is the game Wu-Tang was suppost to be (Untill
the ESRB killed it due to extreme violence and explicit sexual content). EA and other companies developed this game
but it was quickly shot down and edited for content - which became "Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style". If you have some hookups
or a good friend that got their hands on it, there is a final version (there is a beta out, but there is no movies)
but it's hard to come across. This game is NOT in stores....

EpsxE 1.0.1 :
This is very similar to Wu-Tang, except the game is very dark and gothic (with such levels as the morgue, an insane asylum,
etc). For EpsxE I used the newest Pete D3D 1.41 plugin AND the Lewpy 20.98 plugin. They both ran fairly well - ALMOST at full speed.
Once the game gets down to 2 or 3 characters in the level, the speed picks up to PERFECT speed. Both plugins ran very similar
except Lewpy's glide driver had some artifacts in the loading screen. I ran them both at 640x480 with framskip on. Without
the frameskip the games wern't quite full speed. Over all, Pete's plugin ran the smoothest but this may vary depending
on your hardware. (for mdec, turn on unfiltered frame buffer - faster mdec).
bleem! 1.5b :
For this game, to look as good as EpsxE I had to turn on all the 3d "enhancement" features (anti aliasing, etc). This game
at times (menu's especially) run much faster than normal speed. The only graphical problems I noticed is between menu's
when the fire effect sweeps up the screen, bleem blurred it. Other than that there were no graphical issues what so ever.
In game, it was very fast reguardless of how many fighters were on the screen at once. The game was (aswell with EpsxE)
flawless graphically.

EpsxE 1.0.1 :
The sound in EpsxE was perfect. The CDAudio, and the effects had no pops or skips what so ever. The mdec in the game had
perfect sound. The eyeball/opening mdec (screenshot is available) ran without a hitch.
bleem! 1.5b :
The mdec's in the game had perfect sound EXCEPT the eyeball mdec (picture avail). The sound skipped/popped, but oddly
enough, it only happened to that mdec...hmmm... The ingame sound effects and music were perfect.

EpsxE 1.0.1 :
This game is great under epsxe. If you have a better computer than me, you will probally endup with better speed
results during the game. Even if your pc is similar to mine, the game is fully playable, and very enjoyable under
epsxe. The graphics are great with little to no flaws, the sound is perfect (mdec's included), and the speed is good.
bleem! 1.5b :
This game seems to do well under both emulators. The game speed for me under bleem was a bit faster than epsxe, but incomes
the horrid mdec sound. Other than that one flaw, the game is great running under bleem. There is no ingame sound flaws,
no major graphical flaws (except the blurring between menu's), and the speed is good.
Either way, this game runs great under both emulators, with no major differences setting them apart other than some speed
differences. If you run either (or both) of the emulators, you wont be disapointed!
