I don't really like Mushihimesama either, but maybe that damn Taito port is clouding my judgment.

Is the PCB still, like, $2000? :? (not that I'd get it for $500...)

Someone tell me what the first Psikyo shooting game was, so I can make the "When Did They Go Wrong: Psikyo Edition" thread.

For the record, my Compile thread was serious and not an attempt at antagonizing people.

Indeed, but it's not like their last games were crap, by a stretch. They basically just went tits up.

That was their first mistake. Second was when they stopped doing ports at all.
