KOF series "Orochi Saga" Dream All Star Battle!

"THE KING OF FIGHTERS '98" is a fighting game released by SNK in 1998.
In the previous installment "KOF '97", the story of the "Orochi Saga" reached its exciting conclusion.
As a result, the next entry in the series "THE KING OF FIGHTERS '98" was released as a dream match version of THE KING OF FIGHTERS Series.
It is one of the most popular and well known versions of the game, partially thanks to the many balance changes that received high praise from fans around the world.

The "Arcade Archives NEOGEO" (ACA NEOGEO) and "Arcade Archives 2 NEOGEO" (ACA2NEOGEO) series faithfully reproduces classic arcade game masterpieces, staying true to its original.
You can customize game settings to your liking, such as adjusting the difficulty level, and even recreate the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day.
In the "ACA2NEOGEO" series, players not only compete for high scores on the online rankings but also race against players worldwide to achieve the fastest time to clear the game in "Time Attack Mode," available in supported titles. Additionally, in games that offer the "Network Mode" feature, players can engage in real-time, multiplayer gameplay over the internet.
Please enjoy these iconic arcade games that defined an era!

*This game is developed based on the main version of the MVS (arcade version of NEOGEO).
The content may differ from the version released for home-use NEOGEO or other home gaming consoles.
