I played Ghost Pilots (again) and had a little bit of fun with it. I played Sky Adventure (again) and can't imagine how it's supposed to be the prequel to Ghost Pilots. It wasn't too terrible either. Ghost Pilots plays better, but it feels like somebody said "screw being creative, let's just rip off Flying Shark and call it a day."

I also tried Gaiares, didn't grab me. Didn't play much though.

Sky Kid, it's basic and it starts out gently, then roughs you up.


Parodius Da! on everything it can possibly have been ported to, as well as it's sequels.

Hi folks, new user.
At the mo:
Gradius Portable PSP, Border Down DC, Zero Gunner 2 DC, Ikaruga GC, Gigawing DC/MAME, R-Type: Final PS2, Salamander 2 MAME, Gradius V PS2, Perfect Cherry Blossom PC, Nemesis 3 MSX.
I don't know if these count, but The Red Star PS2, Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra PS2.
I don't know if this is outside of forum rules, but can anyone point me in the direction of or upload a set-up file for Shanghai Alice's other titles.

Trigon, argh the pain, but the game's fair enough with it's checkpoints. Plays like Raiden, Fire Shark, or Twin Cobra, just with a jet (that plane kind of reminds me of the Raiden ship).
