Because Sega said it was their new begining, which is what Genesis means in Latin, and it turned out to be so-especially after the Master System had done so poorly over here.

At any rate, I am currently working on Skull Fang, and while I really dig this shmup, I also need some help as to how you rotate your aircraft:

Any advice would be appreciated, as the demo is only in Japanese, and demonstrates movement with a joystick, not a Saturn D-Pad. And the manual is in Japanese as well.

Anyone??? There's simply no manual translations or FAQs on this game out there.

Gunnac , in Nestopia, using a PSX pad...

I've been wanting to get back to Zanac Neo and Strikers 1945 II, now that I bought an ORIGINAL Dual Shock 2 controller, maybe I have a chance to finish Strikers 1945 II (Reached 1-8 a couple of times... but I always had sucky controllers with the PSX)

True. I've always liked that one better then either the arcade or SNES UN Sqaudron.

Area 88 (Super Famicon): Why is there no constant auto-fire in this game?

Salamander (PC-Engine): Almost had the No Miss on Expert difficulty for the first loop last night.

Night Raid (PSOne): Felt like trying it out in my PS2... control was marginally better, but it's too easy to lose the ship on screen.

Right now, my arcade cab has Raiden DX in it, and I've been going back and forth between it and Strikers 1945 (those are the two PCBs I have right now, but I'm in the process of trying to come up with a few more.) Actually since I moved to my new place about a month ago I've spent virtually no time on consoles, with only my Genesis even making it out of the box.

Nothing. I'm so bored I almost feel like buying Mushihimesama.

EndEffector, Every Extend, Visual Sphere, and Bullet Philharmonic Orchestra, all for PC.

They're lacking the polish of commercially-released shmups though...makes me want to load up Gradius Gaiden.

After spending a ton of quality time with Mushihime-sama and Zanac Neo, I'm now shifting gears and tackling Giga Wing 2, with some Nexzr, Battle Garegga, and Twin Cobra thrown in for extra spice.

BTW, Shatterhand, your sig is cute, but it actually is possible to be both a Cave fan and a Compile fan.

Timehunter and nanostray and Crisis force

Currently playing: Raiden and Fantasy Zone(arcade).

Current goals: To play either longer than one hour without being overcome with the urge to rain multiple blows upon my monitor with a blunt heavy object whilst weeping uncontrollably.
