Unlike the Gradius board game, I think the Zaxxon board game was released in the US. I remember seeing a Zaxxon arcade shaped candy box at a store once.
I wish those auctions wouldn't throw in the names of different game systems or whatever in the title to try to make it show up more. It's makes it harder for me to find stuff without getting something I'm not looking for.

Odd. Those pics show the Korean version. Is Gradius called Big Hyper in Korea?joshschw wrote:http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/6166
What ever happened to Bydopoly? Shmup-themed Monopoly, that was a great idea someone had a few years ago. We should revive that idea.

i'm pretty sure it was Roger Post (Postman?), and it was called Shmupopoly . he ran a shmup themed-parody contest with some pretty funny results early in 2004 i think.alpha5099 wrote:Odd.

EDIT:
here is his page with all the shmup parodies, and the ones from the contest. Herr Schatten's still gives me a good laugh.
Yeah, there was that. But earlier than that, there was Bydopoly. I remember it quite distinctly it, it was right after I had joined the forum, and I didn't get the R-Type reference.Stormowl wrote:
