Yeah I can beat the OG stages w/o dying but when you get the power up for the new stages its chaos to say the least. I fucking fumble ass around trying to shoot the right icon I want. I'm guessing the laser is the most powerful in the game and its a bitch to shoot enough times w/o the enemy planes slamming into me lol. On the arcade port the powered up shotgun owns this game big time. The way this game is programmed all other weapons seem to be shit weak except the laser which is stupid imo. I guess I need to roll the sleeve's up for this one.

I did a couple of plays of arrange on BG the first night. It plays what I would consider a black label of sorts.
Made it to the airport boss on my first play due to the amount of extends they throw all over the place.

Japanese remaster of X2 on the PS1. Excellent game, easily better than anything the DEV's made so far -- and I usually detest eurotrash STGs. With enormous loading times, that'll make Neo-CD owners feel right at home and a classy & violent euro-dance ost, that relives the 90's in a sledgehammer fashion. Recommended!

Got a good deal on a Mushihimesama Futari ver1.5 PCB so my kids and I have been playing that for the last couple of days. We have Bug Princess on my Wife's iPad so the kids were very excited for this PCB to arrive.

Recently pulled a 40" professional monitor from a pawn shop for 50$....NEC LCD4000....sitting in Tate on my desk as we speak, getting some Futari, DDPDFK, and Ikaruga love....need to wire over my PC to it as well for Mushi 1.

Also got my Darksoft CPS2 up finally, so the Super Neo is bouncing between Dimahoo and 19XX.

Detana Twinbee is an absolute bear...cute...but totally demanding. I am working on it slowly but surely though.

I'm finally getting the hang of undeadline on the md.

My run ended at the "drain" which was the 5th stage I chose.

I was helping my dad clean his garage yesterday and I found Whip Rush for the Genesis.
I cleaned it up, and gave it a go.

Fun game.

Thunder Spirits on Super Famicom. Actually I found out my brain is too slow to dodge the bullets. Better get a new brain.

Magfest made me reignited my interest in futari. Was my first time playing the black label version. Been grinding at home for the past week or so. Beat the stage 3 boss for the first time cruised through stage 4 and went down in flames just a smidge before the boss. My score laughing at me just 800k shy of the second extend.

On the whole, no, nothing beats the ease of the SFC version, yet, there's the "kids mode" on the Saturn, which "preserves all your weapons and power-ups upon death and resumes the next life with a 1-hit (red) shield". Your Durchlaucht should be pleased ;).

Actually Thunder Spirits does have difficulty selection (or are you talking about stage selection?). It's just hidden, you have to press select + start at the title screen and it will bring up a menu that lets you set the difficulty and add autofire, etc.

Just play the MAME version, the Saturn version sucks and they fucked with a whole bunch of things needlessly and the audio is horrible. It's also expensive.

yes, actually I did and it was a pain in the ass. But now - with this select/start hint - I am aible to drink coffee while controlling my love gun through the force fields of the galaxy. And I was able to reach level 3 without continues, I am so proud ;)
