This thread brought many memories. Like others here, Mugen was my first experience with something that looked/felt like programming. I think I was 11 years old or something.

I remember that I was obsessed with Mugen. I would spend hours downloading chars/stages/screen packs and making my own games combinations. Eventually I started messing around with the source code of the chars/stages etc and started to learn on my own. I never really learned how to build chars properly, but I was good with the screen packs and stages.

Something that I find amusing is that some of the screen packs that I ripped from NeoGeo games and adapted for Mugen 20+ years ago are still available and I guess some people still use them :-)

Two cool works I did was ripping the Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 [1] and KOF'96 [2] screen pack. I even found some videos on YouTube. One of those videos the person who uploaded the demo even gave me the credits after all these years. The second one there was no mention but I know for sure this is my version because of the quirks/bugs :-) I never knew how to properly align the numbers with the texts on the combo/hits sprite messages that are shown during combat haha
