I've mostly been playing Mushishime-sama recently, I love the arrange mode (despite the fact that it kicks my ass) - also i've been playing a bit of Triggerheart on XBLA and Sengoku Blade on the Saturn.

I just got Blazing Star for MVS. Been playing that a bit. On Level 4 I can ace level 1 and die twice on level 2...and I loose my last guy on level 3. Hopefully I can get better soon!

I've been playing mostly obscure Japanese PSX games lately, and this SHMUP really surprised me. It may look stupid, but actually it's great fun and very well made with many small details to make the player smile.

I've been playing it on my PSP (PSX emulator via custom firmware) and it's a lot of fun. It's called:

Time Bokan Series: Bokandesuyo

bokandesuyo5.jpg

bokandesuyo6.jpg
bokandesuyo10.jpg

bokandesuyo8.jpg
bokandesuyo9.jpg


Very Air Zonk'ish in style, but even crazier I think! And it also has Yattaman cartoons between levels - they're very wacky and I have no idea what anyone is saying, but it's still enjoyable.

Here's a good review with screenshots (it's what turned me onto this game).

There's also a prequel to this game which I also have played, and it's excellent as well. It's called Bokan To Ippatsu! Doronboo Kanpekiban.

Omega 5 on XBLA. I really do not like how this game controlls. I am so used to a 2D traditional shooter.

After over a year of looking to get Summer Carnival '93 cheap, it finally landed
on my doorstep this morning. Great game from what I have seen so far.

NICE! That game looks like fun! I'll see if I can get the iso somewhere. If you have more obscure PlayStation games, tell me about them through PM!

It sure does look fun. The art reminds me of Pink Sweets almost with some of the larger enemies.

HAHAHAH totally agree

I played about an hour of Under Defeat last night. Great game, I just wished all the bullets were purple or something, they get lost behind smoke and shit too often.

Dreamcast w/agetec....I wish I had the Naomi version :(

Took a little break last night from Muchi Muchi Pork and fired up some Mushihimesama Maniac for a couple hours. Man, I forgot how great maniac mode was. I was going to pick up Death Smiles in a couple months, but now I'm leaning more towards Futari.

Just got my Japanese Ps2 and some games like Espgaluda, Mushihimesama, and Dodonpachi DOJ. Major sensory overload. Still wanna get Ibara, Gradius and R-Type Final.

Gotta say though...after so much time playing my DC in VGA, its taking me some time to adjust to the Ps2....I gotta at least step up to s-video or component. hopefully that'll make the picture significantly sharper...or maybe even some upscanner for my monitor...

There is such a beast, a component to vga adaptor and then use that disc that makes all the games run in HD and you'll be all set.
