Lots of Elemental Master right now.

Also, off topic-ish...The Red Star.

I just got hooked on Ibara, thanks to the gallery, found out some weapons I didn't know I had (Like holding bomb for extra damage and letting go for a rocket), as well as how to make my ship faster. Now, if I can figure out a way to switch characters, if you can, then I'd be golden.

You should consider the PSX version. Believe it or not it's better with the slowdown than the Saturn port.

I know because I played both versions and own the JP PSX version of 1945 II.

A bit of Dodonpachi and some Raiden Fighters. I much prefer the latter game although I think I'm better at the former!

First time reaching stage 4, when the boss song stopped and the stage song begins, boom... an ultra fast sniper bullet got me.. hahaha

I still survived my credit until the end of the level, though

As much as i thought I hated the game, I've been playing DDP DOJ today and enjoying it a lot :)
I've gotten a bit better at shooters recently, so the game isn't as frustrating as before.

In mame: DDP (always there!), XX mission (not very known, still a gem), Super Space Invaders '91 (personal fave!)
Freeware: Guxt (Great stuff there!), Gamma Bros, Gravitron (not very shmuppy, its a Gravitar remake, but it's too good to ignore!)
Also, Raiden III (the best gift I've ever had!)

I've played A LOT the Gradius Collection on PSP today.
I feel like keeping on playing that one for a while - Gradius III is TEH SHIT.
Alas, Ikaruga is going...

Undesired, unwanted them...
What makes them go?
