$15!

Even though I have the DC version, I've been after an affordable copy of Pys 2 PS2 for ages, just for that DVD.

$15 is amazing! Enjoy it - it's an amazing game...

Border Down - Never far from my DC this one it's great

I will be playing Mushihime-sama on the PS2 soon as I've just won a copy of the LE.

Trying my hand at Space Megaforce set on "Hyper" difficulty. It's a little tricky and I suck pretty badly. I got to the first boss and got clobbered; but, in my own defense, I really haven't given it that much time. The "4" weapon is pretty awesome when fully powered!!!

Gone back to Espgaluda (PS2)

I've come to the decision that Radirgy (DC) is a bit average and I must admit I'm not that keen on it. I'll give it another go as it was possibly the most difficult DC shooter in my collection to get at a reasonable price. Still the game probably better than illvelo................

Quick change:

- 東方永夜抄
- プロギアの嵐

Playing Imperishable Night with Yuyuko is the most relaxing thing I've ever done. It's a bit hard to Timebreak, though.

Mushihime-sama (PS2) - Throughly enjoying this, it really seems unrelenting but it's loads of fun

I'm currently circulating thru Darius II (Saturn), Darius Gaiden (Saturn) and G. Darius (PS2, Taito Legends II). I've been on this Darius binge for a little over two weeks now.

Is it such a bad thing that I really want to go to London sometime if only to play Progear on a real cabinet? I've only been there once before and I never even laid eyes upon a real arcade, too busy doing all the regular tourist things...

Deathsmiles and more Deathsmiles....trying to make it "click" with me. Throw in some Galuda 2 to keep my vert sanity.

Now STGT is over, i'm going back through shmups I have unfinished business with (all of them, lol).

Its Battle Bakraid first. I'm determined to beat the normal course, I used to be able to get as far as Gigamanta so I think with a period of really focused play I could beat it. I've managed to start getting to the last stage again but that stupid boss with the waggling arms is causing me problems.

Gradius III PS2

I can get past Stage 2 every single time now, but Stage 3 kicks my ass either near the volcano part or at the boss.

Pretty much the range of emotions I went through. I just bought the Xbox version for $50 new. You got a much better deal.

On topic: playing Trouble Witches.
