WTF??? WHY?

I mean, was that ever popular in Japan? There are LOTS of arcade shooters that deserve ports a lot more.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe if the difficulty was toned down a bit...

WTF are Hammster?

Anyone play Rabio Lepus Special on PCE? That one was superior IMO.

A Japanese company that specializes in cheap (re)releases. Probably best known, around here anyway, for their Oretachi Gaesen series of arcade-to-PS2 ports.

OFF-TOPIC:

No_not_like_Quake wrote:WTF are Hammster?

A small, cute, furry animal that looks like a chubbier mouse. Somewhat related to a guinea pig. Often found in cages in people's bedrooms, in classrooms as the class pet, and in hamster balls rolling around in the street. ^_-

ON-TOPIC:

No_not_like_Quake wrote:WTF are Hammster?

A Japanese video game company devoted to releasing lots of older games to PS2 (as of current). I believe the first Hamster release was Raiden DX on the PSX, although I'm not sure if this Hamster is the same as that Hamster...

... what a stupid name for a video game company. At least they're not called Gerbil or Ferret or Otter or something. ^_^;;

I dunno, how accurate have their previous arcade ports been?

What's the difference between the arcade and PCE version? I have the PCE one but might spring for this if it there's a lot of changes. *-neo
