Yes, it is the Code Mystics Version
I couldn't find any reviews confirming if they had updated the game to the newer version with rollback netcode, so I took the plunge. Yes, this IS the Code Mystics updated release. Not much else to say other than that it's the classic KOF98UM. Hasn't really changed much in the last 20 years. If you like the NeoGeo era King of Fighters games then you will probably enjoy this one. In a way it's the first "modern" KOF as it introduced the Max Mode meter that most of the games have featured ever since. It displays the inactive characters in the teams standing in the background with cheering or defeated animations during the rounds, a nice detail that has unfortunately been lost in all the KOF entries made after this one.

The ture King of Fighters
One of the best, most balanced and charming 2D fighters out there - if you want to have one classic 2D fighters it is this one or SF3:3rd Strike.

It's good to play Kof 98 again
I played at the time of arcades and PS1. I see some comments comparing company versions and this is totally absurd. There are several versions of the same game, you choose the one that best suits you. Speaking of the game, it's really cool whoever likes the KOF Series can buy it and have fun.
