andsuchisdeath, SNKorSWM - I love Double Dragon III! I prefer Double Dragon II, still, but I love all of the main series (with the exception of DD V, ugh).

Recent beatemup for me is Ninja Combat - introduced one of my students to it. Still a pretty fun game!

I've been tempted to download the new dlc for the scott pilgrim game since they added Wallace as a playable character now.

I feel you man. I've taken a break...

now I'm playing Gourmet Sentai Bara Yarou for the Super Famicom. I just picked it up despite wanting to buy it for years. I'm having fun figuring out the moves.

Just got the simpsons pcb. Ive been playing it as well as the first TMNT, and sunset riders. Konami knew what they were doing when it came to beat em ups.

Well, actually i hate TMNT :D I was huge fan of any TMNT related stuff in childhood, but this game totally unplayable. Ugly game dynamic and hard as hell :) Wasted about 30 coins with my schoolmate (even with crediting 2 players from 1 coin cheat), but we only proceeded to Technodrome stage. But TMNT:Turtles in Time plays much-much better.
And yes, KONAMI made amazing games. Violent Storm and Sunset Riders two of my favorite games ever.

You missed the context in which Double Dragon III was mentioned.

Sho/Ginzu, stage 6 boss. On the last run I made, I had the boss left with a sliver of health before I died. You?

Knights of Valour 2 on PGM2 hardware. I really want Knights of Valour 3 but it's just stupid expensive. Gonna try and get into Shadow Force as well, but I seem to get destroyed quickly every time I play it.

Yeah I know the whole pricy part is kinda of a bummer, probably being less popular/known than the NG made it more "rare" thus making it a bit more expensive, the PGM surely has some interesting titles to check out though, I just found out about the it a couple of months ago. I'll eventually pick one up base board and get that awesome "The Gladiator" (a.k.a. The Road of the Sword) and play the shit out of that one...
Is KOV3, Super KOV? because I think P00t was selling one and not really expensive IMO.

Nice. Someday, I'd like to run my games on original hardware once again. I purged my collection when times were tough.
The PGM stuff (among others) runs lousy on xbox. I've never got a chance to try Knights of Valour 3. Can't say I've ever seen PGM or Crystal System stuffs in the wild.

I know exactly what you mean... I'm considering in selling some home carts to pay the bills, it sure sucks big time.

the chief has a Sailor Moon pcb I'd love to buy, I've only played it on mame, and I dig the colors and art in that game, would love to get the pcb, at one point it was on my must-have list,but like N30 and Wat said, times are tough, and I've had to place myself on self imposed buying lockdown.

that game looks fantastic, I'd love to try it, what are your impressions?

It's my favorite beat 'em up on the Saturn. It's actually one of my favorite beat 'em ups period. Every claim that people make about this game being standard and generic couldn't be farther from the truth.

It has an amazing engine with plenty of special move commands, juggles, on the ground attacks, cancels etc. With two players you can juggle enemies back and forth, juggle off of throws, or just do throw volleys! It's colorful and has very wacky character designs. The music is decent too.

From what I understand, the Saturn version has been tweaked over the original Playstation release. The Saturn version has more moves and the juggle/cancel heavy engine. I've never played the Playstation version though.

There is pretty much nothing for videos which show off what can be done in the game engine wise. I'd make one myself if I wasn't technologically incompetent/unwilling to learn in general.
