Awesome scans! Thanks. Would be awesome if we could piece together the whole thing.

no.
Batsugun is the missing link between classic late 80's style shmups like Sonic Wings and later games like DoDonpachi.

I'm not actually sure if your post was serious, but no abundance of purple bullets and no skeeter shield.

Hello all,

does anyone have any links to the Skull Hornets manga? If anyone has any info I would consider purchasing it too and donating it up for translation.

Cheers,

Minty.

Last one sold on a YHJ auction for $600 approx (ex rate at the time of sale) about three years ago, which as far as I know was the first one to appear on YHJ in nearly a decade. They apparently surface once every three eclipses and I would never ever give it up for translation if I had it (which I do) because it would be kept in fucking carbonite (which it is).

:lol:

I see.

Adds to the mysticism the part about the "three eclipses". Oh well, we at the very least have some scans.

The reason I ask is that we are working on a Shmup related comic project and I wondered what others had done up to now.

I read that you are often 'on the move' - do you store all your gaming related treasure in a storage facility or lug it around with you?

Thanks for the info, Skykid.

It's in a subterranean base deep in the Russian wastelands, guarded by sentry guns and mobile infantry.
