I've creditfed through that millions of times [with a friend, it's a great way to pass the time], and I definetly[sp] don't remember that in the ending.
I guess I should note that I played the arcade version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT8JiUcFP2U 4:40.
It's kind of hard to see, but you can make out ketverning, or something like that.

Heh. They must have fixed that on Capcom Classics Collection.

Death Smiles on the 360.
Got it today and I'm already in love with it. It's been a long time since I lost track of time while gaming.

Just put down Deathsmiles on my Xbox 360 long enough to get in some more time on Muchi Muchi Pork on the old Egret 2 cab.

Einhander - looks awesome in ePSXe after fiddling around with the graphics settings;

Here's what I was getting on the Mac PCSX emulator;

I'm playing a fair bit of Senko no Ronde at the moment on the 360. I completed the story mode on one credit with various characters with relative ease until I picked one who has to face the squid-esqe boss. That one is a bit of a beast. Makes me think that I'm missing a TLB on the run-throughs ending with the battle station type end boss. Seems incredibly easy in comparison.

I suppose I should be able to take him down with a little practise but the difficulty spike is quite drastic.

I did find it quite sad that I almost immediately got into the top 5000 in one of the game modes for an achievement. Makes me realise how few people actually picked this game up.

Air Gallet. Just got the pcb and its hella fun. Hard like Twin Cobra, awesome Joker Jun artwork and a really good soundtrack.

Except that there is no final boss theme.

Galaxian. I used to be *awesome* at it before, now I *really* suck at it.

Pink sweets, RFA, and Death Smiles.

At the moment I mainly play Giga Wing 2, but I´m almost at the point where I need a break from that game. Then I would try harder to get better in Gunbird 2 and Mars Matrix.

Strikers 1945 finally clicked with me, so I've been playing that a bit.

Radirgy Generic. <3

Had it for a while, no idea why I didn't give this more attention before.

IIRC two characters get that boss: Cuilan and Ernula.

It's not too bad with Ernula since she has quite good firepower, but with Cuilan it's a nightmare.

I cleared the NES Gradius last week, so I've been trying to seal the deal on the arcade version. That last stage is still getting me.

Cho Ren Sha.

It runs really well in WINE. Anyone with Linux [actually, anyone] really should get this game.

MadScientist · Post by **MadScientist** » Fri May 22, 2009 12:34 am

I just managed to get Cho Ren Sha running on my Mac (using Crossover). Cool game. Warning Forever also runs in Crossover. Sweet.

Sonic R · Post by **Sonic R** » Fri May 22, 2009 2:50 am

Just got the 1cc in Sylphia on the Turbo Duo.
I am a big Compile fanboi, but I found this game to be underwhelming when compare to their other offerings(overall as well as on the NEC hardware)… I really like the musics though.

I am also playing Hellfire on my Turbo Duo.
