It's far better than the SNES version, at least.

Rezon. Fucking fuck the level 4 boss.

Well, I went and grabbed the first Shikigami game..... the hilariously renamed "Mobile Light Force 2" with that awful box art......

Am I the only one that thinks this game is just a BIT cruel?

I wasnt expecting quite that level of STUFF being flung my way, at that speed......

I should probably be exploring Progear or Darius Gaiden, but I'm playing Dragon Blaze instead.

Radiant Silvergun, arcade mode.
Everyday I insert 9 credits and play a hour and half, or so.
Can't get enough of this. Just brilliant.

Been playing:

Salamander
Salamander 2

and a little Life Force

via Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus on the Sega Saturn

I really have come to enjoy the Salamander games. I favor Salamander over Life Force

the Life Force in the Deluxe Pack just seems to run like junk? I also like the power up system of the Salamander games as I have become use to it.

Yeah, it does that with the arcade default... change the 'no wait' option or whatever it's called in the options menu to speed/ smoothen the framerate... I find that alot more playable...

Under Defeat - DC
Zanac Neo - PS2
AMOK - Saturn

Shikigami 2, I hit 2.3 billion earlier with Hyuga, before making an ass of myself at the 4-2 boss..... bah.

Still a good run though.

Thank you for tip

I just gave it a go and find Life Force to indeed run smoother.

P-47 Aces. I like how the second ship can shoot things that don't exist for thousand point bonuses.

Layer Section on my Saturn. I am in awe of this game, and of the Saturn in itself as well. Just now I hit the million mark, but the fourth boss shot me down. Two of my lives he claimed. The bastard.

You don't have to post every time you play it. You know, fyi.

Actually, that was EXACTLY his intention when he created the topic, and that's why I always found this topic kinda weird... I didn't mind because no one had noticed it before, and only durias was using it like that...

There's a laundromat around the corner from my work that has an old Neo-Geo cab with Strikers 1945 Plus and Metal Slug 3. An awesome find, played Strikers for a bit yesterday.
