All of the characters have been redrawn in high resolution, although they appear to simply be upscaled and smoothed out, similar to techniques applied to many emulators. If, on the other appendage, the solution is something out of the blue – an element that the writer deliberately chose to omit, or more likely one they just made up on the spot – then that’s just cheating! Every story has to have its own internal logic. The King of Fighters 94 Rebout - Playstation 2 (2004) For it's tenth anniversary, SNK remade KoF 94 for the Playstation 2 until the name King of Fighters 94 Rebout. I think it’s important that the story gives the reader all the information required, albeit in a disguised or disassembled form, so that when the solution or twist has been presented they can look back and see that all the clues were there and that the solution has a logical basis. When it comes to resolving those cliff-hanger endings, or other plot twists, I’ve always believed that the reader needs to come away from it thinking, “Oooh, I didn’t see that coming!” and not “Where the heck did that come from?” Those two responses might seem almost identical at first glance, but they’re very different. Eventually he gets adopted by the lonely but kind-hearted woman who owns one of those stalls that sells phone-covers or polished stones masquerading as healing crystals and it’s not until his twenty-first year, in accordance with ancient prophecy, that the shopping centre has to close because it’s about to be demolished to make way for a new shopping centre that’s smaller and crapper than the old one and everyone is fired and the kid emerges back into the real world and sees the sun and clouds for the first time in fifteen years and then a wise-looking crow gives him an old brass WWI medal with a strange-glowing inscription on the back and so he embarks on a quest to find a dragon or ancient aliens or something. I have a tendency to wander off-topic like an excitable little kid in a huge shopping centre who’s seen an escaped balloon and has spent ages chasing it before he finally looks around and realises that he doesn’t know where he is or what happened to his parents.
