Rastan for under €5? Pretty good deal just to hear Agressive World.

Dang! I was hoping for Gun Frontier PS4 to be on sale... Still Rastan, Cadash and Halley's Comet are good deals.

Please be Rave Racer.

Yes, the visual upgrade & gameplay/game mechanics of Rave Racer compared to Ridge Racer are quite something to behold. It's just a matter of time when Hamster releases Rave Racer as it's never gotten a proper home game console port to this very day.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~
Absolutely, the first significant advance over Ridge Racer since Ridge Racer 2 was more of a QOL update. Rave Racer was awesome and as you said it never got a proper console port to this very day. PC version was shown in 1996, but got cancelled. The two PSP Ridge Racer released had the tracks from Rave Racer, but not the game play. There was the recent Arcade 1Up Ridge Racer mini cabinet which had it, but that's not a console.

Makes me wish we had a Namco game instead (or Raiden II), but looks like Hamster plays blind eyes and deaf ears on fan demands.
Sigh. Oh well, another week to wait for the next release.

I think it's finally time to get the ACA version of Bubble Bobble. Even at the risk of getting that song stuck in my head for all eternity.

Even just reading this got it stuck in my head.
