If you could own any Shmup Jamma PCB or arcade game which would it be?

For me it would be Sega's Thunderforce AC or Under Defeat Sega Naomi

Dodonpachi Campaign Edition!

Having just tried it out (thanks to members of this board) and loving it on MameOX, even though the emulation is shitty at best, I'd have to say Cyvern. One day...

I think this board is a little over rated. I think they would have made more If it was THAT GOOD!!!!!

I just sold that yesterday. Good game, but there was something about it that just didn't gel with me.

It has HYPER! DoDonPachi is my favorite game, so any updated version makes my sex fall out.

Radiant Silvergun, IBARA, Gigawing Generations, Night Raid.

Wouldn't really be for home use though...I'd "lend em" to the local arcade for others to play.

It's all about sharing the wealth.

ThirdStrike · Post by **ThirdStrike** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 8:13 am

Someone needs to get this PCB dump the rom release it and someone Get a Eprom Burner and mod some Dodonpachi PCB's.

Then everyone could have this cool game.

I thought about asking my local arcade if they wanted to borrow some Cave shmups. But I doubt they would put them in a machine. They seem to only be interested in Tekken and Dance Dance games.

Errg. Arcade ops are usually scumbags that are just looking to make a buck and don't care about upkeep of the machines. Plus, they'd probaly break a capacitor off one of your expensive boards due to their rough handling with PCBs. (Why do you think so many PCBs are broken, it's sure as hell not because of us collectors)

Bloodreign · Post by **Bloodreign** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 8:46 am

1) Gradius 3
2) Gradius IV
3) Pro Gear (play it now and then but I'd love to own it)
4) DoDonpachi and DonPachi (great way to get myself better at these two games

5) Thundercross 1 and 2 Konami's great double whammy, wish they'd make a part 3.

How much did that go for, if you don't mind my asking?

Due to come into a little money soon, may be time to pick up a super gun and my first board.

I sold it for £143.00 inc postage.

A mint, unopened Guwange kit.

I would immediately sell this to the crazies with deep pockets, and buy about 10 equally good games with the money

Most coveted shmup PCB for me is Dragon Breed, closely followed by Mr Heli, both of which I have.

As for something I don't own, Forgotten Worlds. I did have the PCB, marquee, bezel, and an entire control panel, but never had a suitable cab shell to fit them to, and sold it without ever having played. Dumb. If anyone sees the entire machine for sale anywhere please let me know, I'm happy to import.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 12:27 pm

I suppose its gotta be Scramble Spirits. Does anyone know if its available & at what price

Skyline - I have lent boards to my local arcade for others to play, so have my friends ARC and ARM. If you know the engineers well - its ok.

The other board is Sega's Sonic Boom, which I'm happy to say I bought off Malc recently. An excellent game, better than I remembered it from the London arcades when it came out

I'm still looking for a good opportunity to pick up a cheap cab, so there's many shooters I would like to have, but my top picks would have to be:

- Guwange
- Xexex
- Blazing Star (<- will probably be the first I will own, since it's cheapo MVS ^__^ )

Best get a something with a rotatable monitor like a Taito Egret, considering that Blazing Star needs a horizontal monitor and Guwange needs a vertical monitor.

Or you can just do what I did.......and buy two cabs.

FYI, I have Thundercross 2 for sale

</salesman mode>

Personally, I have the PCBs that I'd want to own and play (Brave Blade, XEXEX JPN, Ibara, among others), although I wouldn't mind a complete minty condish R-Type cabinet. That's the board, the cab, all the decorative artwork, the works

iatneH · Post by **iatneH** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 2:55 pm

For my personal use (and realistically attainable collection), it would be..

Ketsui
Progear
ESP RaDe
Radiant Silvergun
Ikaruga
R-Type Leo

And I'll throw in Hellfire for the old-school, and Neo DriftOut for kicks.

For an absolute dream, I'd get Beatmania IIDX Red, Guitar Freaks V and DrumMania V. Wow!

I second that; I've been looking for that one for years too. From what I've read the PCB uses some kind of disk drive to load up levels. Wonder if the disks themself haven't lost all their data; the game was made in the late 80s. Beside Scramble spirit; I'd love to get a hold off "Cliffhanger - Edward randy".

FatCobra · Post by **FatCobra** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 6:13 pm

My top 5 picks:

1. Batrider
2. Battle Barkraid
3. Battle Garegga
4. Dodonpachi
5. Cyvern

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 6:21 pm

Probably one of the Strikers titles, not sure which, and Ibara. Oh, and maybe GW Generations.

LoneSage · Post by **LoneSage** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 6:40 pm

Wow, so many options...I'd say either Irem's Cosmic Cop or Gunbird 2.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 7:52 pm

I have every shooter I want, minus Ibara. I would like to get my hands on:

Cowboys of Moo Mesa
Dolphin Blue
Gladiator

Raidenfighter Kirkov · Sat Aug 20, 2005 8:32 pm

Nothing at the moment. I have all the pcbs i need (over 350).

At the end of this year:

Under Defeat and Espgaluda 2
