Which is your favorite prestige symbol in Black Ops?

Update: It looks like the other Call of Duty Black Ops Prestige Badges image that I found earlier (bottom) are really from the game. The Wikia page above has the best picture of the prestige badges that I have seen to date.

Call of Duty Black Ops just came out. I am not sure if the Prestige Badges for CoD Black Ops below are the real deal or not. If the forums and boards are correct, there are now 15 total prestige levels. Last year there were several fake prestige badge galleries so I presume that this year there will be even more fakes. I will confirm the veracity of these badges as people start earning prestige.

Every year or so I get the urge to play the old Ninja Gaiden arcade game by Capcom using MAME. The problem is that “Ninja Gaiden” is not the original name of the arcade game! You will find ROMs for gaiden.zip but that ZIP file lacks the sufficient binaries to run the game.

The reason is that “Ninja Gaiden” is a “clone” of “Shadow Warriors”

That means that in 1988 the game was localized for the US and released given the title “Ninja Gaiden.” The Japanese know the game as “Shadow Warriors”

Thus, if you’re looking to play some old school Ninja Gaiden 1988 Arcade action, look for the Shadow Warriors ROM (shadoww.zip) and not the Ninja Gaiden ROM (gaiden.zip)

When you try to run gaiden.zip you will notice that MAME cannot find several *.bin files because those *.bin files are actually contained within the shadoww.zip file.
