Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Ahhhh didn't know about that! That'll really come in useful for learning the game, cheers
Extended mode is activated by holding down on the stick and pressing the start button.
Hard mode is activated in the same way, just press up on the stick instead.
They both have their own score tables too. 0 -

Start looking for Dodonpachi now, it's a hard one to find! People tend to not let go of it unfortunately.
If you want a cheaper Shmup fix in the meantime, pick up Raiden, Raiden 2, Raiden Fighters or some of the CPS2 shmups. They tend to clock in around or under 100.
Ah sure you got a modded GNET recently didn't ya? Plenty there to keep you busy
Unfortunately mine isn't modded, so I'm stuck with two games!0 -

For some reason that's seems to cost a fortune these days. Seems a relatively recent price hike too, not sure why. (Cue Casey telling us he bought it for the price of a packet of poffertjes back in 2005.)If you want a cheaper Shmup fix in the meantime, pick up Raiden, Raiden 2, Raiden Fighters or some of the CPS2 shmups.

Quality games the lot of them but the Fighters will go for more than a ton with the mobo included. I think the Jet cart alone is over a 100 too. Unless you want to get the (dodgy looking) single PCB version of it, bit cheaper maybe.0 -

We really were too late to the party for games like that. I remember seeing an Armed Police Batrider sell for around 100gbp a few years back on ebay. Same with Garegga and Progear boards.
Don't get me started on some of the historical candy cab prices I've come across on my searches.

Not sure about Jet, but I've seen Raiden Fighters sell for under a ton on ebay. (missed out on one a few weeks ago that went for 76Gbp I think it was) Worth a look out.0 -

Was there a map packed in with the game back yonder? Clues about the existence of items or anything? Or are you left to figure it all out yourself? How are you meant to know there's such thing as the magic sword, under a gravestone??0 -

Just finished Legend of Zelda, thank god its done. I did end up using some guides as the item existence/placement is frankly far too obscure & random to be any way enjoyable. But thats 8bit games for ya, at least give us some semblance of a hint an item even exists in the game, before hiding it under a random tile that looks no different to any other tile!
Gamers were gamers back then, that's for sure.
Anyway, Zelda 2 is up next. Never played the game at all, so should be, em, interesting0 -

Played some Rayman Jungle Run on the Nexus 7 earlier, brilliant little running platformer and only 99c on Google Play at the minute. Amazing quality for a mobile game.
Anybody know if Origins is worth the 15 quid asking price on Steam?
Jungle Run is amazing, as is Origins. Definitely worth 15 euro (although word is the Steam sale is due shortly for massive discounts). Just be warned - it comes fully equipped with some old school platforming difficulty
I liked a lot of the ideas and execution of Brutal Legend (I found it strangely satisfying exploring the open world), but it was a mess overall - the kind where you love the mechanics one session, despise them the next. Most damningly, bar the opening cutscene, it just wasn't all that funny 0 -

Started playing Zelda OoT recently again but just bought a SNES yesterday with mario allstars and world....now to go and attempt to relive my youth!!
Enjoy!
You'll soon realize that most games you played in your youth are far more enjoyable than many today.
This will then lead on to you buying more games, so many in fact that you'll begin contemplating eating tins of beans for the month 0 -

I'm up to the fifth area of SMT Strange Journey. What an amazing game and it's got some really excellent dungeon design. Some of the trap floors and mazes could be obnoxious but they loop around themselves and create shortcuts so it's never frustrating. Story is very interesting as well and keeps getting better.
