No photo because I'm too lazy - but thanks to Brian I FINALLY own a Fire Barrel. Very hard to get hold of, seems to be a sequel to Air Duel. Plays like Raiden meets Air Duel, and it has the best smart bomb sound probably ever.

I had to go through hell and high water to track one down last year, and yet this one sat on Brian's list for at least a day before you picked it up! Same with Fire Shark. Just amazed me those two PCB were not the first to go (stupid cave fanboys).

Oh - it's a longer story than that, I'd been trying to get Brians one since February.
Yep, Face's Nostradamus PCB comes in two flavors: Japanese & South Korean variants. Pick your favorite flavor & enjoy. The Korean PCB of Nostradamus is an interesting one to play/own & a bit cheaper on the wallet compared to it's Japanese PCB counterpart. ^_~
That Ninja Baseball Batman PCB is an awesome four player all-out arcade comical/parody brawler. Some of the end-stage bosses remind me of the Roger Rabbit type of animation style (or rather animation from the 1940s and 1950s). Irem really sure knew how to make some cool detailed sprites for their main characters, small fry, mid-stage bosses & end-stage bosses as well. ^_~

Nice one - I want either of those on PCB at some point.
So I just got Bells and Whistles (US Detana Twinbee) through, and Raiden II, as if I don't have enough ports of that game...
And robivy64 - I like the fact you got enough Irem M92's to demonstrate the illusion of perspective! Nice haul!

I have a spare (broken) DX board as well, in need of reflowing one of the large SMT chips. So I'd appreciate if you could share your technique in the hardware forum (with pics), as I've been unsuccessful in doing this myself thus far.
Well after years of MVS only gaming in my cabs (sold CPS2 and STV a long time ago)... and thanks to Brian and Kiselgof I now have Battle Garegga, Ibara, and Muchi Muchi Pork to play in my trusty Super Neo 29.
