I saw this game at a local Peter Piper Pizza.... kinda surprised that they got it all of a sudden when it's been out for a few years. It was only 1 token to start/continue.

I like a lot of arcade gun games, but I just couldn't get into this game at all. It's just way too cheap and unfair. Enemies show up and just hit you immediately, even if you memorized where they were you'd have to be quick... and bosses are cheap as hell, sometimes you have to hit multiple "Clear" boxes in a short amount of time, and I find it hard to whip the gun into another spot on the screen when it's mounted on the cabinet like that. Even though it only cost a token I was feeling ripped off having to continue so much... so I gave up and didn't play through to the end. Oh well.

...so why did I post about it? I dunno, guess I figured the Neo-Geo 64 forum could use a new post <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Fuck ya, Beast Busters 1 in the arcade was tight as hell!

That game just took you places.
-Didn't quite give me nightmares-
But damn close.

Oh well, now we have HoD2, soon we will have Vampire Night and HotD3.

I already do. The second one, as well. I even tracked down an old advertising poster for the original, as well as an original arcade flyer for it. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
