Does anyone know if this saves your high scores? I've heard that it doesn't

You've heard correctly.

Cheers mate, no point buying that then, I'll stick to the saturn versions

Just out of interest, do you know if this has been included on the volume 2 and 3?

Yes, both Vol.2 and Vol.3 have a proper high-score saving, though Auto-Save isn't present.

Cheers for that. Fancy not including a save system for a shmup, that's bloody ridiculous

Tell that to Psikyo who never put one in in the first place. Few arcade boards traditionally offered this, and if you've ever seen an old Konami board with battery acid damage, you'll know why this was.

The saturn versions allow you to save though. I can appreciate why it's done on arcade boards, but it's unforgivable for a console port

Do you tate your TV? If not, don't bother with this pack, as I unfortunately found out today. The yoko modes are both rubbish. One scrolls vertically within a window which is worse than satan, the other is cut down - more playable but still not what I wanted to see.

This is one of those "If you don't already own them" collections. They're basically ports of the PSone versions of the games, and as has been said lack save features. They're not too shabby in TATE, but you can do better.

Is there any difference in the hitboxes or difficulty between the original and arcade modes on the saturn? I've always played original modes but in another thread someone intimated that DC gunbird 2's original mode was harder than its arcade counterpart and i wondered if it was a psikyo trait?
