most people also say perfect dark is better than goldeneye.
for me its much memories, which merge me together with the game, so for me it'll be on the peak :wink:

I'm getting a shipment in tomorrow morning. In it will be sexy parodius and game tengoku along with a couple of mahjong games. It should be a good evening. :)

Right now I'm playing Batsugun.

Mushihime.

I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY 1cc'ed Arrange mode.

FINALLY killed that FREAKING BEETLE at the end.


Of course, actually DOING that required that I no-bomb half the freaking game..... I finally found a better way to handle stage 4 and certain parts of 5, so I'd only lost 2-3 bombs by the time I got to 5's midboss.


Of course, when I FINISHED, I had NO bombs or lives..... barely killed the stupid thing, but I killed it.


EDIT:

Ok, I just 1cc'ed Original.

I'll probably not be having another night of shmupping this dang awesome again anytime soon, lol.


And Original gets pretty wild, dont it....

Congrats Bridget. I'm working on Mushi as well, although I'm not near to 1cc'ing it yet. I like Maniac better than Original, but I'm working on both.
Ultra will have to wait...
Playing a lot of Ketsui as well. :)

Mushihime.

Finished Maniac now.


Pain in the ass.


There was a good deal of yelling before the end.



Baaaahhhh, you'd think I'd have had enough of this by now but the game keeps taunting me with it's prettiness and gameplay into playing it again....

Got Salamander Portable this week and am in the middle of my first playthrough of Xexex. Absolutely love the game, beautiful visuals and the lazer tentacles rock. Now I know why it's one of the most collected PCBs. Love stage 2's colorful biomechanical "gumball" setting and stage 3 has one of the coolest dragons I've ever seen in a game.

Homura. Recent purchase.

Gaaahhhh, this isnt a game, it's an addiction.....


Easily some of the most fun I've had with a shmup since Giga Wing or Shiki 2.


Now if only that second boss wasnt such a blazing snotrag......

I still haven't beaten Bakraid so i'm taking a break from it and doing a grand tour of caravan games.

Playing Soldier Blade and Alzadick really makes me want to get a real PC-E, maybe this summer.
