Change Air Blade was the first shmup (to my knowage) that has a battle to battle shmup. It's more like a shmup fighting game to me. Just play it on MAME (it's perfectly emulatable), it's one of the most coolest things in a shmup. I would get it to tell you the truth. Before you get it, try it out on MAME (be sure you know how the gameplay works).

Yes, that would be your best course of action.
Just try them on MAME before you buy them, since 5 of them are perfectly emulated.
This way you'll know for sure which one to buy.

Maybe you should hit them up again, because that's where I am getting these games. You should also sign up for their mailing list, as the one they send out usually has better prices than listed on their site. Please take into mind that the $89 doesn't include shipping, so it would most likely be $110 anyways. I am getting two so hopefully I will save there a bit.

Ok, so I ended up going with Batrider and Vasara 2 for $226 shipped from Hong Kong to the US. I had $143 lift in the paypal acc after selling ghostlop, so now I just need to make about another $80 on sales to make it even.


Anyways...still a good deal? Oh, and they were out of Terra Driver, so that wasn't an option. I am going to dual them up in this cab as soon as get new locks and the weird shaped cams for this CP.

To me this is a no Brainer, Strikers 1945 Plus is the best out of those. Have fun and happy new year
