I played it and finished it. Bought it off steam for 2.50
In my opinion that was 10 euro too expensive for it.
It's not the worst game ever made. It has a far bigger sin. It's just utterly mediocre and uninteresting with setpieces that would have felt archaic back in 1999. It's just so boring and feels like a budget shooter.
As for the humour, all of it falls flat. It just seems really out dated and none if the punchlines work with some jokes being about decade old memes (a decade old at release).
And that's when the humour is at its best. The game is down right offensive at times and mean spirited at times. I'm certainly not one to be overly politically correct but the section with the impregnated girls was disgusting.
It might be worth playing as a historical curiosity but prepare for one of the most forgettable gaming experiences you'll ever have.

I never thought of that!
Remember the 1 switch mod you did on my Nomad? You hold down the mode button when the game boots and it boots in 50hz. Then as soon as you release it pops over to 60hz.
Yeah cool little mod that, temporary 50Hz switch in order to bypass the checks, and then release for 60Hz goodness. Have you had to charge that thing yet

I think I've charged it 2-3 times since you modded it. That must be what, 5 or so years ago now?
Fairly sure if I switched it on now this evening it would boot. Shame we didn't have batteries like that back in the day!0 -

Isn't their big loading problems with usb loading? Since the speed is slower than the disc read speed.
No sure. I've the HD mod on mine. Probably will depend on the drive you use, a high quality one should be better, but I imagine there might be a bottleneck from the older USB interface on the PS2. There's also compatibility issues with USB but they might have been ironed out by now, I've not checked in ages.

Apparently its a fantastic, non-bullet hell shmup
I think I'd like the look of the game much more if they ditched the orange and green aesthetic and went with something a little more colourful.0 -

When photobucket decided to rip everyone off and all of my photo links from the last 10+ years died I decided to stop posting photos.
Been getting a bit of a hankering to recently though. If anything, to reassure me that buying old crap most people don't care about is actually okay. 0 -

I thought I was all done with purchases....
But now I want an MSX2 and several other goodies.
Also, there's a mountain of retro games and accessories out there that'd look mighty fine in my gamesroom!
Like the Famicom zapper and the arkanoid controller,
I have to have one of these though

I lost a lot of pictures when that happened too. Instagram isn't too bad for sharing pictures, I'd take it over Facebook any day.0
