bummer...how are the other CAVE ports on the PS2 (think there are 4, right?)
been thinking of getting a Japanese PS2 and a big reason is coz of those games

...should I steer clear?

Galuda and DOJ are pretty great. Arika kicked ass. Taito ports [ Ibara and the awful port of Mushi] should be avoided IMO.

well i personally think that Galuda is a great port...i just dón´t like the game(its system and flying people are not for me).
But you MUST get DOJ,is amazing.one of the shooters of my life:buttrock:
i remenber being disapointed with it the first time a played,maybe due of the hours spent on the first 2 Pachis of the series...but then its just grown into me.AMAZING game.I play it every week of the last 4 years.

wow, thats a pretty strong endorsement for DOJ.

Good to hear about Galuda too. I played Esprade before and thought it was cool, so i think I'll dig Galuda. Plus I prolly am playing Shikigami no Shiro 2 more than any other DC game right now and thats got flying people in it too :D

In The Hunt
Been playing the PS1 port for the past couple of days. I hate those huge fucking sea-to-air missiles in stage 4 (that later re-appear in stage 6).

Got to level 4 on Guwange last night. Probably my 4th or 5th credit I've ever played on that game.

Me and a friend had a few beers and decided to play radiant silvergun. We sucked, and of course we blamed the beer.

It does seem well suited for two player action, though.

For some reason that game seems easy as hell to me, with some dedication I think I could ace it, however it doesn;t take away from the fact that it is a fun, inventive and gorgeous game.
