• Yet another mahjong game: It seems as if Xacrow may have found yet another new CPS2 game, although it is only speculation at the moment. Here are the details: The game name is "Choko". It was developed by Mitchell. The genre is a mahjong puzzle(Shisensho type?). It may be adult only. It was released in November 2001(before Jyankokushi and after Progear no Arashi). If you want to see a flyer of the game, you should visit the homepage of Mitchell. Only time will tell if this is indeed a new CPS2 game..... - cyrussd • Mike_Haggar 's cheats added: I just upped these great cheat collections for both FinalBurn Alpha and Nebula / WinKawaks to our Downloads page, and yes, they both do contain cheats for Marvel vs. Capcom - cyrussd
