Buy it! fuck the haters!

Not to encourage the off-topic too much, but does BL have remade bullet patterns, etc.?
In general, does BL feel like a Yagawa game, or does it retain the Cave "feel"? Personally I could never adapt to the patterns in Pink Sweets and gave up on the first stage.

Feels like Cave, definitely, it's just the scoring system and the balancing that feels slightly different. It's in no way Pink Sweets/Ibara hard though.

And Espgaluda II is pure shmup sex (changing), you fuckers don't know what you're talking about.

cools, I just spent 5 minutes laughing at your signature, I even had to go back to check that was a legitimate faux pas!

I thought you liked to fly space ships, and not fairies? And I saw you wanted a Futari now? I didn't think you wanted to shoot bugs.

You're right, but I love galuda 1 and think espgaluda 2 is pretty cool also.

Guess "asshole" wouldn't have worked either.

Ha ha, that is a brilliant foot in mouth error Tonk! I'm still laughing every time I read it.

Yeah, it is funny. I realized after I wrote it. I was like, "man, I set myself up there"

Anyway... Back on topic - I got DFK 1.5 back. Gonna try to score a bit more.

I really wish I liked BL... But I just don't.

[Matskat]

I'm jelly. Two of my favorite CPSII games...

I thought of you INSTANTLY when I saw that pic of the CPS2 D&D....We met ONCE and that's the thing that stuck....

Funny how brains work, huh?

(DFK BL)Feels like Yagawa..

I just got a little hard right there.....no embarrassment though...we're all men here

'Pachi + Yagawa!? I MUST play it someday!

Stupid expensive PCB....and region locked discs...

(Slaughters yearling goat as sacrifice in hopes of a DFK 1.5\BL\Arrange NA release, in the wake of fickin EU!?! getting DFK first..GRRRRRR)

Whew....Nice score.

Haha, yep! Still kicking myself for not buying it then!

[yojo!]

Yup, I used to play the Saturn port a lot but the graphics resolution (and all jap text to a lesser extend) always put me down. I don't regret the PCB purchase a second. Way better than the Sega Saturn port. SOM is on the way from japan.

[caldwert]

Yojo,

Is that a real copy of Alcon? I have two bootlegs copies that I never built converters for that look similar to that. My Jamma version though is a blue PCB. Also, did you get that off of KLOV?

[PC Engine Fan X!]

I recently sold a genuine Taito of America produced Alcon Jamma PCB and it was an original one with blue colored dual layered PCB setup. It wasn't sold to yojo! though but to another fellow shmupper instead. It worked like a charm. On the PCB itself, it says “Made In Japan” for the USA region Alcon PCBs...if that little phrase ain't mentioned on a bootlegged Alcon/Slap Fight, then you already know instantly that it ain't the real deal. Interesting to learn that there were bootlegged versions of Alcon/Slap Fight made back in those days.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_～

Sometimes god smiles on man and his little requests. Thas all I iz sayin.

Yes it is original ; it came from a kit. Alcon was released two ways; the first was based on Tiger Heli hardware (non jamma, 22 pins) see here. It does have the "made in japan" writting. The second version is the more common blueish PCB which is dedicated hardware w/ JAMMA pinout, it also has the taito label. This cimplete my tatio slap figt collection nicely.

Can you take a clearer pic of your PCB? I'm wondering if what I have aren't real versions then. I have 2 of them sitting in boxes in my laundry room.

My camera isn't that good; but you can find really great pictures of both layers here and here.

I don't know how the fuck I've never heard of Zero Team?! Thank you for posting this. I love 80's girls in headbands...uuuuuuughhhhhh

[drauch]

Damn, just found out it's not available in MAME. How much does the PCB go for?

I had Zero Team at the meet you were at I believe. It has graphical glitches but I played a bit of it. Its pretty good.


As far as my pickups this week:

Vendetta
Strikers 1945 III

[drauch]

Bloody hell...

Cheer to that! Lethal Thunder (International) is the superior version to Thunder Blaster (Jpn), the latter being more of a button mashing competition.

Around 120USD - at least i paid that amount.

Never saw a Lethal Thunder before anywhere...cool add to my IREM collection.

What exactly is the difference between the versions? I thought they both had the button mashing/increase shot/increase score mechanic?
