Raiden Fighters Aces x 2



I got the game a few weeks ago. Spotted a copy at Gamestop and just couldn’t wait for the Amazon copy to arrive. Now I have two.

If your copy from Amazon is still sealed and you still have the receipt from Gamestop, just take it back to Gamestop and get your money back. I've done it a few times with games where I couldn't wait for them to arrive in the mail.

Mars Matrix (DC NTSCJ). That's the last of my 2008 top 5 acquired, feels good man. Huge thanks to Pointman for a brand new copy!

I've been busy the last weeks :

Mamoru-kun. Played it once and wasn't quite getting it. I probably need to figure out the scoring system.

I purchased Zanac (NES) on Wii Virtual Console a few days ago.. nice game.

Gradius III & IV for PS2, aquired in very good state. Looks like decent looking copies for sale in Europe getting rarer and rarer, so I did not hesitate.

I needed this

What is the game to the right?

It's a great little Shmup called Soukyu Gurentai for the PS .
The original Saturn version has a bit less slowdown but the PS port has some added fmv and an extra ship to choose from .

Gradius V

Today in the mail !!




Got it for a great price in excellent condition with spine and reg card but customs charged me 22,50 € tax and import
which is crap because i never had to pay customs before on any imported game .
Still a very good deal and happy with the game though

I had the same when I ordered Salamander Deluxe Pack from PlayAsia. It seems just a case of bad luck (or you can ask the shipper to adjust the invoice amount for customs purposes only).

Back on topic : I downloaded Lords of Thunder for Wii VC yesterday.

Do sell me the spine and reg. You'll get that tax fee back, and then some.

Lol, the last shmup I boughted was a Korean (Samsung) version of Trouble Mania 2...it really looks like a pirate, on the outside. Pretty sure it's legit but holy cow the paper slip is badly done. The fourth gameplay photo on the back of the box isn't even in focus Manual's not so bad though, aside from the front cover. And the cart is pretty nice, even with a molded "Samsung" in it.

Psyvariar 2: The Will To Fabricate get. Pained me a bit to trade off my PS2 copy of Ultimate Final (wonderful superplay disc), but god damn I love Naomi ports on DC in VGA.

Raiden Fighters Aces

I was hesitant because I really hated Raiden III but glad I gave this compilation a shot because it's awesome.

[Casey120]

Thank you Grime for :



And also in the mail :

Ok, after months since I got Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom, I finally put my claws on the reprint of Layer Section aka Ray Force aka Gunlock for PC.



And just for the sake of being annoying, I'm also collecting the Touhou Pianoforte series. The music of Touhou is definitely made for the piano, I wish ZUN would stop using that over the top e-trumpet. And Layer Section's red book audio is fucking ace.

PS1 DoDonPachi recently came into my posession, with Taito Memories 2 Gekan arriving imminently (i hope)

[Erik]

Dragon Blaze for PS2 (PAL) :
No bad game but not exactly what I expected. Small playing field and again quite a noisy disc which annoys me (CD based game).

Kaitei Daisensou / In The Hunt for PS1 (JPN) :
One of the few shooters I played in an arcade actually, during a Holiday in Spain ages ago. I was greatly impressed with the amount of detailed destruction back then. Feeding credit after credit I made it untill the Poseidon boss. Then most probably I was out of cash, or my parents lost their patience and dragged me away Good memories and playing it on MAME works good as well. Being a fan of the game, I should own it on a disc as well.

Japanese version of Darius Gaiden for Saturn. I have the PAL version but its nice to have the native version for my white Saturn.

Sega Ages Fantasy Zone for the Saturn too.

[Casey120]

The poll on this site made me curious , i already had Under Defeat so :

[Tigershark]

I've taken the plunge. RSG for Saturn. Let's see what all the fuss is about. It's arriving tomorrow for some Saturday shooting.

[Ed Oscuro]

Recently Purchased Triggerheart on XBLA. Good game, just trying to get to grips with manual grapling.
