Abort mission. I think the only part of the game I really like is the level 4-5 stretch and 6th boss before the final pattern. The rest is tedious crap.

Noiz2sa and rRootage.

I got a 3-in-1 converter so I've been giving these a try again.

Time to get back into Giga Wing 1.

I'm playing a variety right now because I just got a PC hooked up to my TV via the S-Video input, so it's MAME goodness for a while!

I just got my Capcom Classics Vol 2 yesterday, there is your answer.

Eco Fighters (While assulting my mind with tree hugger messages) is a fun game.

Hi Everbody,

I've been playing ESP Ra De on MAME the last couple of weeks. It's the first manic shmup I've ever played seriously, and it's seriously kicking my ass sofar. I get to stage 3 on one credit and then die horribly. But I'm having fun, and that's all that matters.

I probably should check a guide or something though.

I was playing ESPGALUDA, Perfect Cherry Blossom, and Under Defeat. I still play UD because I can play it at work, but everything else has been set aside because Radiant Silvergun now owns my soul.

Ed Oscuro · Post by **Ed Oscuro** » Mon Dec 25, 2006 3:50 am

Twin Cobra, Fire Shark, a bit of Darius Gaiden, Metal Black, Fantasy Zone (no shop challenge), etc.

The usual.

I've been trying to do this on and for some time now... the first point where the Moai show up in stage 6 always catches me (that first really narrow passage).

I spent most of yesterday playing Blue Wish Resurrection and Eden's Edge. I'd also be playing more Under Defeat if it wasn't for Ookami.

Still playing Gradius Gaiden on PSP and rotating between Storm Blade, Viper Phase 1, Gunbird, Battle Garegga, and Rayforce in MAME.

Atm i'm trying to download a Raiden III pc torrent, but this marnin' i woke up and the one seeder stopped seedin'

. Anyone know if the PS3 is region free on PS2 games or is that just wishful thinking?

If i still had my broke-ass PS2 i'd be playing Gradius V

annnnnddd... looking forward to finding Ikaruga again now that i have a decent tv for tate.

I've mainly been focusing on Battle Bakraid, but also have been playing small bursts of Strikers 1945 as all. This is on my "new" crappy laptop that I got for Christmas, and it doesn't have internet access yet (gonna buy a wireless card when I get the chance), so I've had to upload new stuff via my Mp3 player and it's a pain in the ass.

stratos · Post by **stratos** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 7:36 pm

I'm playing Ibara on my PS2, and I'm aiming for the one credit at the moment... I like the graphics, the music, the gameplay, but it can be really frustrating at times... I hope i won't give up with this as I did with Garegga and Dodonpachi DOJ (ah, and Esprade...), since I'm obtaining some interesting results... it woul'd be cool to compete in the hi score thread (if someone is still giving it importance except the champions...)

Currently playing DoDonPachi, Vasara, and Cloudphobia... currently trying to get Gradius V off of ebay... should of got it when it was in stores >.<

Damn....my current annoyance right now are those damn ring formations that appear out of thin air and cram in on your ship. I never get past the first one. I know I have to keep moving, but if I have to guess where they're going to make their move, not good...

Just got Gradius V off of Ebay and between that and Metal Slug Anthology on the Wii, I'll be busy for a while.

Oh, and nice to meet you all!
