    It probably was released about the same time the Wu-Tang PS1 game was released. Was actually a pretty cool fighting game for its time, and quite possibly the first 4 player fighting game i can think of. It was originally gonna be released as Thrill Kill, but Thrill Kill was cancelled and they started throwing Wu-Tang assets into the Thrill Kill engine.

    EDIT:

    Did a little googling, and yup, was a pack in for the special edition of the Wu-Tang game

    Oh i definitely know that, i mentioned it in my post ;) I only bought the Wu-Tang game when it came out because it was the closest i could come to playing Thrill Kill. Ever since the first screens of TK started showing up in magazines back in the day I wanted it, badly. After it got cancelled and i found out about them reusing the engine and stuff for the Wu-Tang game, i bought it on release day, lol.

    And then Thrill Kill finally leaked, some time after that, and i finally got to play it. Either game, Thrill Kill or Wu-Tang, are a damn fun time, especially with 3 friends and a multi-tap.

    Wow, that controller looks like crap. Maybe I can't find it on eBay is because Wu Tang realized it got f- with by this pad.

    Actually I've heard the Wu-Tang controller is one of those silly collectibles. If you find one, it's worth a fair bit.

    And it's not even the worst Playstation controller.

    If you have the Bleem! disc, Thrill Kill works almost perfectly on a Dreamcast. Just gotta hit X and A at the same time at the disclaimer screen. It's just black when you see it on the DC. Looks great with the VGA and plays extremely well. I had a ton of fun with that game.

    Also if talking about the Bleem! disc is not allowed, I can edit it out of my post. Just thought fans of the game should play it in its best, crispist form.

    I want that Wu-Tang controller. Love Wu-Tang Clan. That would be so interesting to play with.

    As long as you are not linking any illegal roms or .iso's its fine, emulation talk is welcome here, AFAIK.

    Solid. Skavenger, if you haven't tried TK on the DC I recommend it.

    Sorry I suck at staying on topic haha. It's always strange playing games meant for specific consoles on different consoles with their respective controllers. Playing PS1 games with the DC controller just feels... odd.

    Could be worse..... Im speed running Ocarina of Time with an Xbox 360 controller :( The analog sticks on the 360 contoller absolutely suck when it comes to one specific trick that is very necessary for speed running (superslides).

    Cant say ive tried Thrill Kill on DC... did play it in my PS2 and through emulation quite a bit though. Still stands out to me as one of the most unique fighters of all time.

    That's a neat picture in the OP.

    In fact, I actually own it as a poster. I've got it all framed up; I just need to find a place in my room to put it.

    I got the Genesis one of those at Goodwill and the left and right don't work.

    The contacts look clean, maybe it's a wiring issue.
