An Ikaruga t-shirt and hood from Redbubble. You know the one. I don't really even like Ikaruga all that much anymore. I did once.

Crimzon Clover please >.<!~

Really, every time search for Crimzon Clover things to buy... nothing!! Why?!?!? @_@"...

Need to find crop or tank top (lol, I almost always wear these two, but of course limited "target audience" so will be happy with "normal" shirt).

Grand opportunity to put ship with many, many stars! How many stars? Maybe like this:

I bought a couple of your prints recently in the JP/EU size but realised that size is not really a standard size especially for posters in Japan so it looks like I'm going to have to get custom frames instead of an off-the-shelf one. Just curious why you go with the non-standard size (usually it's B2 for posters in Japan as far as I know.) Unless I'm just not looking in the right place for the correct size frame?

Never played it.. I think it's a Capcom IP.. meaning we need to advance a lot of royalties (10k probably at least) before starting anything.. This is a huge invest for a small entity as ours at this time but never say never ..

Oh it's not working in a Jp frame you mean ? Japanese B2 is super near 500 x 707 mm vs 500 x 700 (less than 0,7cm difference)..as it's EUR standard, we thought having the two on the same size would be easier in terms of production. If you can show me I'll figure out better the issue, thanks !

Haha many Cave fan here... but... Cave also one of easier ones to find merch, so I think, easier for you get more attention with territories not yet explored!~

I wouldn't say not working, but it isn't as snug a fit as other B2 Japanese posters I have. My other JP posters all come in at the standard B2 51.5cm x 72.8cm (plus or minus a millimeter or two I imagine) and fit very snugly in a cheap off-the-shelf frame that I can buy in a shop like Sekaido in Japan.

So the prints I have from you at 50.0cm x 70.0 are slightly smaller than would typically be expected, I think. It would fit but with more space to spare than usual I imagine. The stock came from Japan (I am in Japan, too) so I was curious why you went with that size choice.

I appreciate a place I can get nice shmup stuff from! Never thought I could have a nicely printed Batsugun poster so that's pretty cool.

Thanks a lot !! Ok I will dig into that size difference for jp let you know if we find a way to do real B2 posters.!

Sorry regarding cave, you mean official merch/apparel ? Would love to see what exist already if you got a link many thanks !! (Only remember a crazy dodonpachi sukajan)

Playing the SS port of Darius Gaiden is quite awesome. I have the SS Skeleton variant console hooked up to a Retrotink 5X-Pro upscaler via a SS Euro Scart cable and it's pure 2D stg gaming at it's best!

The Japanese SS Virtua Stick HSS-0136 is pure arcade stick gold -- it feels like an "arcade-spec" grade one with factory-installed stock Seimitsu parts through and through indeed + the classic Sega Astro City candy cab visual styling motif is just pure "extra icing on the cake."

Saturn DG (top tier music, acid tab visuals and general bang4buck value over last 26 years) is kind of two different beasts with the auto-fire 'cheat' on or off.

Adding to Faith's silly STG corner >.<"... and, very, very 100% sure Steven will approve the "Stupid" part (acrylic block) hahaha!~

Great thread! My biggest headaches definitely involved older PCBs. Most memorable example: my original Fantasy Zone PCB was pure awesome... until it was just dead and worthless.
