the RA shmups (Suguri+AoS, Diadra Empty, Hitogata Happa, GundeadliGne, Gundemonium Recollection) Steamkeys for 2 dollars
also Bunny Must Die which is awesome.
Thank you.
I bough the Gundemonium Collection for 2€ during the Winter Sale, now waiting for Steam to accept my refund request so that I can get it, and four more games, for less than 2€.

Ha, I was irritated that Bunny Must Die didn't go on sale AT ALL during the Steam Sale. How nice of them to put it in a dirt cheap bundle along with seven other games. :3

Thanks for the heads up on this. I get IndieGala's emails but stopped reading them about a week ago because most bundles are entirely indie stuff I'd never play.

While this isn't the thread to discuss this, I do have a bitter aftertaste of giving even such a little amount of money to RA considering their neglect of their steam ports. Acceleration of Suguri is particularly tragic.
At least the Platine Dispositif games have decent ports.

Plays better that the PS2 version emulated (PS3bc or PSN PS2 Classics) or not (PS2 native). Not just my opinion - YT (Ser Flash/Serraxor): Bullet Heaven EX - Raiden III Digital Edition [PC]. Though the difference probably isn't going to convince anybody to change their mind.

I thought it was the 360 disc-version, and got excited for a second.
Then I found out it was Steam :<

I know this is one of the best places to buy sell and trade shmups and related hardware, but increasingly the sales forum has become swamped with generic gaming jumble. It's like that awful eBayer who lists every PCB as cave toaplan irem.

I know everyone is keen to sell their stuff but I'm getting a bit fed up seeing Nintendo consoles for sale on a serious niche sales forum.

Anyway, looking forward to future trades. Matt

On one hand, I see why you're complaining. But on the other, I have purchased some nice stuff from other users here (not shmup related). I quite appreciate seeing other items for sale/trade.

Back on topic, I picked up Eschatos Wonder Pack at GMG. Props for the the notification above! Good stuff!

Did they ever fix the bug from the complementary Raiden IV OST for the 360 version where "Tragedy Flame" (stage 4 theme) suddenly cuts off after one loop? Had to edit that myself to loop and fade properly.

On the Steam version of Raiden IV Overkill the Tragedy Flame OST track is not mutilated (2:54 instead of 1:30).

http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 2#p1128842

The track was only clobbered on the CD that was shipped with the NTSC-U Xbox 360 release .

Steam related offtopic, do major releases (mushihimesama, Deltazeal, XIIZeal, Raiden IV... ) have tate option in full screen like x360? What resolutions are allowed?

All the ones you mention can be rotated.
When it comes to resolutions you'd best expect just standard TV resolutions - for example there was some disappointment with Raiden IV Overkill not supporting anything over 1080p. Whether tate fits perfectly on a 640 x 480 monitor really depends on each individual game.

PSN Flash sale contains these for this weekend.

Raiden IV Overkill: $3

Under Defeat HD: $2

Geometry Wars 3 : $5


Plan to pick up Under Defeat, but how good is Geometry Wars 3 compared to the first and second one?

I experienced the same when I bought what I thought was the base game at GMG. Unfortunately, I'd already bought JSS/CS. So the sale represents at least 81% off.

Great deal. Thanks for the tip off! I sold my Xbox copy ages ago, so now I can continue enjoying it, even more so now since it cost less than £3!

Thanks for the Eschatos tip, guys. I already own the regular edition on Xbox 360 but it's hell of a deal to get the WonderPack for such a low price. 8)

DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours is 50% off at Green Man Gaming. Use the SPRING20 voucher to bring it down another 10% for 60% off, or $20.00. This beats the previous historical low by $10.93 according to IsThereAnyDeal. Steam activation, naturally.
