Love that game, I keep meaning to buy a copy of it

That game is great fun. Some of the posession animations are pretty freaky!

I'd love to try that other game too, I forget the name, but you play as a poltergeist and you have to scare people out of a house. Any ideas anyone?

You were one lucky kid. The Street Fighter II Turbo import was much sought after. I was drooling over the ads in the back of video game mags sellling it for £120!

Those two games were what I got for Christmas and birthday that year (birthday is 27/12). Was certainly very lucky indeed, probably mad too as I don't really like fighting games.

I actually didn't import anything again after that. It's only now I'm collecting NTSC-J after all these years.

Zombies on Snes. One of my all time favourites from way back.

That was the other game I got for Christmas the year it came out along with a Japanese import of Street Fighter II Turbo. Though I had the USA version called Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Awesome game it was. I'll have to find a copy of it again I think.

Zombies is so hard! There's no way you can get through it without dying numerous times.

There is a certain something about how Ninty put things together, it's just wonderful, and monochrome, although the SuperGameboy surrounds look cool.
They seem well worth tracking down, despite the many puzzle game compilations out there for the DS

Perfect for when I want to imagine I'm good at games.... Before Dark Souls emasculates me once again...
Man that game would make Chuck Norris feel puny...

Have you played the DS Picross titles? Does Mario Picross compare at all? Aside from being a Gameboy title.

I'm currently shooting the undead with a water pistol, killing mummies with a weed whacked, distracting lumberjacks with blow up dolls and blowing up possessed toys with cans of mimneral/soda/pop.
Zombies wanna eat my neighbours but I ain't going stand for that crap. Lock n squirt.

Playing a bit of donkey kong on gameboy and mario vs donkey kong on gba.
The gameboy one is better I think.
Bit more of a challenge so far not that it is that difficult. Having said that I was like 'ha ha I've forty lives this is so easy.' proceeded to lose 17 lives on 1 stage.
It wasn't even that hard I just kept dying stupidly.

Thinking of firing up megaman x2 or turtles in time next, can't decide though.

+1

the GB version is the better, more simple and by the challenge definitely ramps up once you pass the half way stage.

Back giving Raiden a few goes tonight and doing particularly rubbish (300k) until the last game of the night and I finally clocked 500k. Stupidly lost two lives in quick succession at the start of level 3 on the way to that score so plenty of room for improvement. Still, happy with that.

Not using bombs is a must for those juicy end of level bonus points. Some of the little graphical touches in the game are cool like the little men walking behind the cows on the ground or the red and blue lights on the power up ships - you never really get time to appreciate them.

This is by far the best arcade in Tokyo. Has something for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone who visits Japan! The range of games on offer (especially for beat em up and shmups fans) is borderline ridiculous.

The sheer amount of Egret 3's and 2's in the place is crazy (I've an Egret 3 at home for those that don't know).

I now really want an Egret 2 to compliment my Egret 3.

Can't say what I'm playing right now but it's out tomorrow and Sparks has one too, and, no it's not a penis...

I'm finding the controls, at times, a pain, the Wii really, really needs a second analog stick! decent non-gimmicky control system

Agreed

I'm going to Japan in July. Got my time booked off work and everything now. Can't wait!

As for what I'm playing right now. I took a break from Ibara. The scoring mechanics are wrecking my head. The moment I have them figured out something throws a curveball at me and I need to start again.

I'm a sucker for difficult games so I spent some of last night playing Night Raid on G-Net.

Had a good bash of "Darius Burst Another Chronicle" today in Tokyo(in "Hey Arcade" just off Akihabara).

That is one nice looking screen/machine

It's not far from my hotel so I might head back in the morning if I have the time.

unky chop chop

stuck at home last 2 days looking like the elephant man due to absyss in mouth.
perfect oportunity to play the crap outa guardian heroes on my cab.
the game has stood the test of time brilliantly..I hadnt played it since original version.
Visuals(original not remixed) and gameplay are as fresh as ever.

So many brilliant ideas introduced well before their time.
long may this affliction last

You're new at this retro gaming lark, aren't you?

Saturn scart arrived today!!

Had to rummage for a step down as I haven't used one in months. Found one under the bed.

Climbed up on top of the wardrobe to get the Jap Saturn stick.

Scrambled for Radiant Silvergun and Panzer Dragoon Saga. (super sekkret hidden location)

Hooked it all up.

It powered on! Seems 6 months in an attic didn't do it any bad.

What's this? There's a game booting? Ah! I left Souky in it when I stored it away, didn't even realize. /happyface

Game freezes.

'Ye wha?'

/Reboot

Game freezes.

'What the ****?!!?!!?'

Tore Souky out of the console and flung Radiant Silvergun in. (As carefully as someone could possibly 'fling' Radiant Silvergun)

Game boots.

/Baited breath

PRESS START!

Nothing.

'AH!!!! WHAT THE MOTHER****ING WHAT AH!!! IS THIS CONTROLLER BROKEN?! IT COST ME A FORTUNE BUT I COULDN'T TEST IT! AHHHH!!!! MAYBE THE SATURN BROKE IN THE ATTIC!!! AH!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE I WAITED SIX MONTHS FOR THIS ****!!!!'

About to fling console away.

'...oh wait...all the turbo buttons are flicked on.'

/Turns turbo buttons off - It all works perfect.

I don't know why, but I always abosolutely freak out like you wouldn't believe when **** like this happens.

Dramaz aside, Radiant Silvergun and Souky are an absolute dream with this stick. It's most definitely a Seimitsu. Worth the wait!!!
