That game is the shit, I had it back in the days, and actually one of the few shmups I ever finished back then. The vertical and horizontal level mix is pretty cool.

and much slow down for a snes shmup

Finally got Espgaluda 2 for the 360. So i've been playing that lately.

Thanks to 'grave's FB status, I fired up Lords of Thunder for the 1st time in a long time.

This game still rules.

Yes we did! We're gonna fix it though! It's gonna be a victorious 4AM moment when we get that PCB working.

Have you beaten the spider cat yet? Feels like that's the turning point of the game and the wall most of us get stock at.

i keep getting gummed up in the middle-late part of stage 3 (keep in mind my shooter skills are sorely lacking).

 

[Tarma]

Hyper Duel on the Saturn

A rare game that is actually good to play!!

I was *awful* at this game (game-long chaining mechanic= fook) until I played 360 arrange mode.

You think Voltron's twin-stickin is good? Heh. Shikigami rt stick control for the everlovin' WIN.

I still have to try 360 arrange. I've just messed with the Arcade mode.and boy this game is tough. i usually play this at a local arcade. They have there Futari 1.5, Deathsmiles, DOJ, Strykers and Galuda 2. i play one of each and always tought that Galuda 2 was by far the hardest. i use to believe that they incresed the difficulty or something....but no, now that i played at home, i can see that the game is HARD by nature. or maybe is just me. some patterns on the very first 2 stages i don't understand....i mean i can make my way trough them, i just don't get it why Cave choose to use them like that, specially on the first 2 stages.
Oh, but this game looks beautiful on the 360, the colors shine!

What about Voltron? do you recommend it? i tried the demo once. it seemed more Desert Strike than Geometry Wars. is it good?

i'll be sure to give it a play. thanks for the tip.

voltron is fun for the sake of nostalgia- plus its decently crafted. its worth the cost of entry.

Awesome game , I'm waiting for my Blue label roms !

 

[Electric Grave]

Nice, share the wealth and let us know what's up. I'd love to get my hands on some of those roms.

 

[CaseyTappy]

They used this on Cave Guwange Matsuri PCB's .
More gold and easier chaining , it's the same as the Xbox 360 Arrange Blue version , someone extracted the code from the Xbox 360 which is basicly a Mame emu and burned them on 2 Roms .

 

[sp3ctr3]

Bought Deathsmiles and ESP Galuda II on sale for iOS. So I played Galuda II for about an hour yesterday.

I just got the European released DDP Resurrection today. Everything about it seems really weird so far.
