Love those Taitotastic intermission texts. :smile: Radioactive wasteland captioning makes Metal Black's first stage seem downright homey. BAT PEOPLE, brrr.

The text reminds me a lot of Ninjawarriors arcade, Growl, and Darius II arcade.

There's a mention of Sept. 11th in the final ver. too, though I can't recall what for. Coincidence? I think not ;)

When it comes to broken yet pricelessly evocative arcade prose, TAITO IS KINGS. Truly inimitable.

That's definitely a nice find, I think the game isn't bad really - had mine up for sale for ages then played it again and it's no longer available. Just a bit too much grey. So much grey.

Yeah, nice find.

Just a shame we couldn't coin it up last weekend :(

Cheers,

I found out the text is still in the final arcade Master of Weapon, but appears during the arcade attract sequence rather than during gameplay. Video of game showing the text in the beginning.

Still not as funny as Megablast, but maybe the same translator.

Actually, a good chunk of these games have English text in the JP versions.
