espGaluda 2 is at the San Jose state Arcade!!

Post by gundamzeta209 »

I first got to play ESPGaluda 1 at the sjsu arcade and I simply fell in love with the game.

I usually go there to practice playing strikers III or Sf3:ts, but to my surprise SJSU now has ESPGaluda 2.

It's way better than ESPgaluda 2. I'm disappointed, however, not because the game sucks, but because i'm the only SJSU arcade regular thats excited to see it. This is a really great game, and it seems like I'm the only one who plays it. I'm afraid that the Arcade owner is going to pull the game like he pulled Espgaluda 1.

one thing though, the vendor put the difficulty on the hardest setting. I can't make it through to the 3rd level without running out of lives.

Maybe the difficulty is what's keeping other arcade-goers away? I can't imagine it being good for your wallet to play a Cave game on the highest difficulty for practice.

Consider asking the operator to turn it down ;)

You're one lucky guy to have access to such a great arcade, anyway :D

Our arcade has it too, with Pink Sweets, Mush and Progear.
The owner putting it on hard is not a good idea. Most Cave shooters scare off the general public and fighter players in my local arcade :idea: .

No matter what shooters you put in an arcade nowadays, only STG players will generally play them, and we are very few and far between. The appetite and knowledge of this genre has been lost in time in the West.

I think a trip to SJSU is in order for me :) Never been on that campus, I'll try finding a map to the arcade. But if you have any links that would help too.

Oops, just realized this is SJSU not SFSU. Cool news indeed!

Bill, you missed 9 bay area shupmeets over the last 3 years in san jose, next one (August or after) may be the last at my current residence, so you'll have one more try. :wink:

I'll really have to pay more attention to the shmupmeets subforum :(

Coolness. Next time I'm down that way I'll have to stop by the SJSU arcade. What kind of cabinet is espg2 running on? Are they putting candies on location?

Speaking of which, I wonder whether the game came from the SFSU arcade.

Great news indeed! The SJSU arcade taught me that shooters had to be played with one credit! Ah, miss the days when they had Gunbird 2 (it was 50 cents!), Strikers II, and Viper Phase 1.

Now, I wonder if the guy operating it will set the difficulty down to default. If he doesn't know how, we better show him!
