Held up in shmup boss traffic
Titanic lance causes a titanic 8-boss pile-up on the NJ turnpike.
A bullet was hit and had to be airlifted to the emergency room.

Delayed Forever . That's a kinda catchy name for a game.
A shmup where the boss warning klaxon/text stays on the screen .. forevar >_>
I was playing a game a few days ago where sometimes you would be waiting for the 1st boss
forever . The game in question is the atrocious Earth Defense for the MD.

Any real news yet?
Has the bug been fixed?
Are we owning OST's to a game which will not be released?
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.

I would have to say that it was not the one lost in the mail as it wasn't from dhl, but rather looked to be from the german mail people. still I love this whole soundtrack.

^^That looks like a pirated copy, Robotron! Not a good idea to post that; you know how the U.S. deals with pirates!

I'll be scouring eBay for the floppy and Famicon versions.
I must have missed those LE's on Hucast's site... and now I'm gonna have to pay an arm and leg for 'em!
