That's a pretty sweet looking boss.

yeah I always thought that Curse looked better in screenshots than in motion - that boss looks kickass though.

I'll have to cheat and use save states to finish Curse, it's too damn difficult for me, and its not even concidered to be a difficult shmup.

Awesome. I kinda liked Curse (sold it a few months ago, though) up until the last stage which is EXTREMELY cheap in its design, and lets you start from the beginning of the level if you lose a life. Meh.

EDIT: Does anybody know if there was a story in this game? What's up with that head on the front cover (which happens to be one of the best looking covers ever created), the final boss? I never read the manual and there was no introduction or cut scenes.

I don't really know about the story. Maybe I'll pick the game up just for the cover artwork and manual, it's like $5,- here. Gave it a spin on Emu once and I think it's pretty useless as a game though.

No joke. The cover for this game is outstanding. I wanted this game so hard until people on this forum badmouthed it so much.
