Hi guys!

Does anyone remember seeing the following shooters in US arcades?

They are Thunder Dragon, Hotdog Storm, Tengai, R-Shark, Lightning Fighters, Air Gallet, Storm Blade, Battle Gareega, Kingdom Grand Prix, and Shienryu.

Thanks Guys!

Of the ones on the list, I've seen R-Shark and Hotdog Storm in arcades (although the R-Shark came from an arcade which had a number of imports, so I couldn't tell you if it was a US board.) I also have an AirGallet board in my collection, although I've not seen it in an arcade before.

Umm... a bit late but i can vouch for Storm Blade being available in the U.S.

I used to play the crap out of it in Blazing Flippers - Edgewood Mall. McComb, Ms.

This was quite some time ago. Possibly 4, maybe 5 years. I doubt the arcade still has it.

I wish this game was emulated properly as i love it to death!
