Good news for me cos I picked it up for €4.98 on Saturday:D
Fantastic find! The game dispensed over 40 hours of entertainment my way so getting a copy for less than a fiver is some bargain in my book. Enjoy!King of the Monsters is only really fun on two player. And that's because you spend half the time laughing at the ridiculous destruction and button mashing.
Single player ain't so fun
But single player Last Blade is a different story!
I know I've harped on about the series before, but Pyonyang you owe it to yourself to give the Last Blades a go. If I recall correctly, you aren't a huge beat em up fan, but its got some amazing graphics, controls music atmosphere and gameplay.... the aprrying system alone is a joyous mechanic that you will get addicted to.... so deep, so wonderful, everything about the Last Blade series is magic.
The first one is the place to begin - the sequel is even better, but its much harder and less accessible than the first, but its deeper and more challenging in ther long run.0 -

I'm not really into fighters either myself but absolutely love the Last Blade games. The animation in them is by far some of the best you'll see on the Neo Geo.
An MVS cart of the first game can be had for pretty decent, so Pyonyang has no excuse 0 -

I don't really like fighting games though. I don't mind scrolling beat em ups, Crest Of Wolf is just amazeballs. Yes, my copy does have SC-OCD too so hurrah for that.
Yesterday I spent a bit of time playing Puzzle de Pon. Christ that game is seriously addictive.0 -

I'm not really into fighters either. However I always try to buy the pinnacle of games on a system, whatever the genre. I love to see what a system can do pushed to its limits
Puzzle de Pon is one I haven't spent too much time with. I remember there was a level early on I just couldn't get by. So turned it off and put Puzzle Bobble on instead 0 -

Yep, it was level 4. Bastard of a thing. I just kept running out of time
Do you know why it's called Puzzle De Pon by the way? It's named after the little sound effects the bubbles make in Puzzle Bobble when they burst.0 -

I knew it! I had the exact same issue with that level. Just not enough time to get it. The only way I could beat it was when I got a star in the queue. Cleared the most colours surrounding the symbol with that and just booted it home and over the finish line.
The main problem was the lack of time and the order of coloured bubbles. I just couldn't get the right order and ended up filling the screen or clearing it and just missing out.
It's an absolute b*stard of a level but you can clear it. Now level 12 on the other hand... :mad:
I didn't know that about the game title! I make a concerted effort to ensure I learn one new fact every single day (doesn't have to be gaming-realted) and this is today's fact. Thanks for that!
Here's one for you in return. The world's longest recorded projectile vomit is 37 feet. 0 -

It's very punishing for being level 4. I really can't see the game having made much money in arcades with such a steep curve so early on.
Thanks for ruining my lunch by the way :pac:
Have you played Magical Drop II at all? I haven't gone near the first game, but I own the second and it's tied with Puzzle Bobble as my favourite puzzler on the system.
Two player is absolute magic!0 -

I think it did go on to make a few bob. Certainly it spawned a sequel, Puzzle de Pon R (which also happens to be super rare and super expensive).
Not played Magical Drop although I see it discussed quite often. Certainly one to check out, do love a good puzzle game although Puyo Puyo is my absolute favourite series.
That fact about the vomit is true by the way.

I so want that Metal Slug X off of ye! Will have to wait til next month though. I have a rather obnoxiously erotic haul of smutty SHMUP ACTION arriving this week (i hope) that's tapped my budget clean out.

Found a bit of time to play a few games of Raiden tonight. Finally managed to get to level 4 for a change (1 cc ofc). I'd never even got to the lvl 3 boss before so didn't know what to expect, had a real Neo moment gliding past his bullets. Was fricking awesome. He eventually tagged me but got past him and a decent way into lvl 4. Love that game. :pac: 0

Was on the way to a 1cc of Raycrisis last night and the inevitable had to happen. Wife calls from downstairs:
Bird: "giz a hand with xyz"
Me: "Just a sec"
Bird: "no seriously I need a hand with this!"
Me: "Can it wait?"
Bird: "no. just pause the game or something"
Me: "I can't!"
Bird: "come down and help me out with this"
Me: *silence. hoping the nagging will stop*
5 minutes later (getting really far in on 1 credit)
Bird: "For feck sake stop playing that game and gimme a hand"
Distracted I look away from the screen and lose my last life. Knock the game off and head downstairs.
Those that don't appreciate shooting games don't appreciate the importance of a 1cc. *sob* 0 -

Pah, if she was able to wait the 5 mins before shouting up again ya should've kept going for another 5. :pac:
I can only play when everyone else is asleep so usually don't get interrupted, apart from the odd itchy face - only ever happens with shmups too, wtf that about. 0 -

I hate having an itchy face during a game! It's always at the most intense/hard parts too!0 -
