    Nice one! I'll buy that now.

    Just wondering....


    What do people consider the best shooter(s) on the Dreamcast? I'm thinking about my next DC shmup and already have Mars Matrix, GigaWing, Zero Gunner 2 and Ikaruga on the Gamecube and 360.

    I would put Under Defeat almost at number 1 along with Ikaruga. Go buy it now! Don't be afraid of the price :D

    Get Castle Shikigami 2 while you're at it.

    Under Defeat was one I was thinking about - a Ltd. Ed. went for about €80 recently on fleabay from a UK seller - the guy I bought Mars Matrix and GigaWing from. I was tempted but not prepared at that time to buy anymore games other than the two above.

    I was going for a copy of Psyvariar 2 on the DC there, but the seller took it down for some reason. I was hoping to snag it at a good price as there didn't seem to be muc interest in it but its gone now :( I liked the PS2 version of Psyvariar 1 though I thought the graphics were appalling. As the DC version of the sequel looked so much better I was really keep to give that a try. Ho-hum.

    I will keep an eye out for Under Defeat then. I have been considering getting Border Down as well. Looks superb!

    I love the Psyvariar games I have 1 and 2 for PS2, not the DC ones though which I would like to buy one day.

    My copy of Psyvariar 2 is NTSC-J and comes with an Appreciate DVD. Lovely stuff. :)

    He's flogging it on eBay too for a bit cheaper.

    It's about the right right money although if you're spending that kind of cash and you want that game, I'd spend a touch more and get the limited edition instead. Personal preference of course.

    Just looking through his feedback. He sold another sealed copy of it back in 07 for £38.50.

    Bad etiquette to put it on ebay and adverts? I guess not if you cancel one depending on interest!

    If he had it as a standard bidding auction, yep.

    But as they're both basically buy it now, whichever goes first is what's sold.

    Sounds a bit Roger Dodger to me. If that was legit then whoever bought it got a real bargain. I'd still save up a bit more and go for the limited edition version instead though.

    You're way too paranoid for your own good :p

    It was legit alright. Someone just got a bargain.

    Then again, it was back in 07. The game came out in 06. So more than likely it just wasn't as desirable back then.

    Never really was one for limited edition stuff myself. I like genuinely rare things. Not things that are limited in number with the soul purpose of making them rare. Always seemed a tad silly to me.

    Agreed but in this instance I prefer the limited version for the extra goodies.

    Talking of limited editions I did land a nice near-mint copy of Cyberbots for the Sega Saturn over the weekend. :D

    CyberBots and Armored Warriors are two real secret shame games. They're more fun than they should be. I'll grab CPS2 boards of them one of these days :)

    Well don't bother looking at them yet. You still need to get all the CPS2 shmups first ;)

    Lol very true that. If he got commission every time someone bought something because of his posts, then he'd be sitting on a beach somewhere warm right now.

    Ah yes, but think of all the lovely things you now own :D

    Just playing some Jap shmup goodness there via the Jtag (BIG thanks to Doc): Akai Katana, Ketsui, Raiden IV. Raiden IV is class, the Raiden series has become my favourite games at the moment - great gameplay, gorgeous graphics and awesome soundtracks. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    The latest edition of everyone's favourite top shelf 'adult art magazine' has hit the newsstands. Behold!

    wheres the best place to buy this? Its nearly payday :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    eBay or Videogameimports are my usual haunts for Shooting Gameside. Can't read a jot of them, they cost the Earth, but they look nice and have fun pictures. It's worth the ridiculous price to a SHMUP collector. :)
