    Its one of those games where if you lose concentration for a split second you're finished! The third level is chaos with the feckin rifle gits

    Is that an Irem Ninja Spirit pcb? I'm intrigued by the top pcb marked "M72 V2 Apocalypse". What's the story with that?

    It's an m72 Tonma board, but I added a multi game thing on top. It allows you to play all m72 games natively off the one pcb, fantastic bit of kit. There's like 10 or 12 games on it, rtype and dragon breed and Cosmic Cop and the like.

    An original Ninja spirit wouldnt be an easy game to find but there's a ninja spirit sticker off an m72 board on ebay for only 80 quid!

    Those Irem 'M' boards are really lovely bit of kits. Very unique visual style to the games on them. Any idea if there's been an M92 multi made yet? that'd be something else.

    Is it just me or does this game require a LOT of button presses?

    I think it's the combo of a platformer and a shmup. You're doing the shmup shoot button press all the time but are then having to press jump a lot too, which isn't something you normally have to do in a shmup.

    Reminding me a bit of the track and field high score challenge we did 😁

    There is an m92 board coming out, there's a waiting list right now as far as I know. Something like 400 usd though :/

    Just checked, yeah it's out all ready

    About the button presses in ninja spirirt yeah its very much like a shoot em up, constant. Dont try to go back if you miss a power up, usually regret it!

    That is so cool! The little screen with the game logos is such a nice touch.

    Yeah , jumping is great also when ya have the shadows as they stay in the air when ya shoot for all out coverage .

    Must get back to this on the wknd.

    Dont talk about track and field .. actually I was very tempted to pick combat school for this round 😂
