Play as Armored Core Bosses!

Leave it to the Japanese to squeeze out just a bit more from our favorite ancient games. In the same vein as the Sailor Moon vid posted some time ago, we’ve again come across some cool AC1 hacks, this time by YouTube user aniski.

Check them out after the jump.

Armored Core: Sailor Moon

What’s this? Someone actually took the time of putting a robotic version of Sailor Moon for Armored Core: Master of Arena, and it looks like it is working just as expected.

Names in Armored Core: Nine-Ball

Anyone familiar with the game of pool will be familiar with the “nine-ball” format. Unlike other pool formats, nine-ball is generally played one-on-one, and remains to be a popular event in major pool sporting tournaments. The primary appeal of a nine-ball game is its mano-a-mano format, offering spectators a duel of fates between two competitors whether it is in the spirit of friendly competition, or bitter rivalries. It is this very same format and emotionally charged atmosphere that surround Armored Core’s defining attribute – the arena.
