I bought Shienryu Simple 2000 vol 5 (the shooting) PS2

Post by neorichieb1971 »

I bought a sealed PS2 game -

I am confused about what I've actually bought. Translated on the back it says it has the same content as vol 37. The game seems to be 3D when I would actually prefer the 2D game. The screenshots on the back seem to imply there is a 2D game in there somewhere. Youtubes give me a block game for vol 5.

Should I have gone for vol 37 instead?

I don't want to open it to find its not what I wanted. What I wanted was the 2D sprite based Shienryu.


Thanks.

If memory serves this is basically a double pack of two previously released "Simple" label games; the first disc is "Double Shienryu", which itself contains two games, the original arcade Shienryu and the console-exclusive Shienryu Explosion, while disc 2 is some sort of helicopter game. Hopefully a bit of Googling could confirm my recollections haven't completely gone off the rails...

Thanks. I'll open it when my game room is sorted.

That's correct.
The helicopter game is from Simple 2000 Series Vol. 35: The Helicopter previously released as Simple 1500 Series Vol. 53: The Helicopter also released in the US as RC Helicopter from Agetec - not to be confused with RC Stunt Copter by formerly revered developer Shiny Entertainment.

Simple 2000 Vol.5 is Block Kuzushi Hyper
the package here is vol.5 from the "Simple 2000 2-in-1" series

Trying to research and collect some of the Simple budget releases can be tricky as some games overlap with Simple 1500 releases, 2-in-1 series, Simple2000 Ultimate, standard releases, greatest hits and then the SuperLite budget series as well
