I agree that it will be nice to have all Generations on one disc without having to shell out a lot of dough. I am sick, sick, SICK of costly import gaming, to hell with it; I've already got enough shmups on my US PSTwo to last me an eternity.. And I could really give a crap whether that disqualifies me as "hardcore" or not.

However...1943 crushing 1941? I don't think so; mostly because 1943 is TOO LONG, IMO. It's fun oldschool shooter heaven for maybe the first 10 stages, but after that, it's just pure tedium. I'm sure someone out there's 1CC'd it, but I'm also sure that that person now uses a guide dog. :roll:

Yeah, I'm sure they will too, I just worry too much about things like this; so thanks! :D It's just that, out of all of the compilations we're getting this year, I'm most excited about Taito's.

The only game that I play on that is Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Which is the same as the SNES version. At least there's no nasty filtering like in Mushihime Sama.

I pulled this out last night to play Gun.Smoke for the first time. Great game, but terribly difficult, with slightly awkward controls. Not as awkward as Forgotten Worlds, but awkward nonetheless.

Must have posted this question on another thread before, but can anyone confirm if PS2 PAL version comes with 60hz?

What controler mapping option do you got for Forgotten Worlds? :o I know in the acrade it is a twin sticks setup similar to Smash TV.

You can use one stick to move and the other to aim, but Fire is mapped to a separate button (X and R1 are the defaults if I remember right.)
