What is a good price to get Kyukyoku Tiger PLUS II 2? Someone is selling it for $65 but I dont know the value. Also are their any place where I can see videos on this shmup?

Thanks.

Its not a patch on the original Twin Cobra - nowhere near.

The price seems fine, but the game is uninspiring to say the least & too easy.

That's way too much in my books. I scooped a complete mint copy about 6 months ago for $30 shipped off eBay. As DEL said it's only a take on the Toaplan original in name. Has a definite old school feel and is really cheap(gameplay). I'd say if you have auto-fire capability then this game is worth a look for sure, otherwise tread carefully and look for cheaper deals.

Yeah, not a very good game and $65 is too much in my opinion. I wouldn't pay more than $40.

I like it. However, even I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it (I take it we're talking about the Saturn rev, right? Not the F3 cart?).

You might also note that you pretty much need to be able to play the game in tate...the yoko options make it near-unplayable.
