Most anything you can think of in Japanese. Nothing in English aside from Pyongyang's upcoming project.

Du kannst ein paar Bücher bei Cave lesen, z.b. Cave Shooting History, ein ibara Comic, dann ich mag Shooting Gameside, es sieht gut aus, aber man muß Japonisch sprechen :)

Ich habe ein RECCA Superplay gekauft, es hat ein Buch auch, man kann die Strategy und Übersicht lesen.

Ich glaube das du kannst die Bücher bei tokyo Shmups sehen:

Oder:

Jap-Sai:

Man kann auch ein paar Bücher uber "Players' Guides" kaufen, z.b. ich habe ein Buch für GunHed, Gradius, tatsujin und RECCA gekauft.

Viel Spaß in Japon :wink:

For the TV version of course...too bad he died with the arcade era :(

Realistically speaking...Ender's Game at a slight stretch.

Sorry, I like to use my German once in a while. All the Nouns/Pronouns are in English so you can gleam some Information from there.
