That's kickass! Much better than the NES Graidus, though not better than Gradius III or R-Type 3...

Speaking of R-Type, does anyone know where I can get the Duo CD soundtrack for R-Type?

I found three MP3s of it, it's a great soundtrack.

I agree, my friend! Though most people on this forum will disagree with you. I believe it superior to cart music in almost every way, except the first level song. They should have stayed faithful to the original tune on that one.

Exactly, while the first level music is nice, it's 90's house, not R-Type.

They need to remake the original song, with real guitars, real analog synths, those old 80's Simmons power drums and a PIPE ORGAN. That would pwn.


But the Level 1 song DID show off the AVS I'm submitting to Winamp quite adequately:

Cool vid, man. The fact that you used R-Type music increased it's cool factor by 356%.

Thank you! I should make a REAL R-Type one, with the R-Type ship flying around in the visualizer...I belive I can do that with the Picture command in AVS... that would be sweet! :)

I like Gradius, its a classic. The difficulty is as it should be for a shooter. I prefer Darius though....

Now Parodious, thats a good game!

Parodius IS a great game! My fave out of the series is Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius on the Super Famicom.

We're getting a pseudo sequel to Sexy Parodius - Otomedius. Supposedly going to be using their WinXP hardware, but it will be 2D. It's also gonna have a touch screen! ^.^

Question: Why a touch screen?
Answer: "For the perverted out there you can even touch your character's naughty bits to get a "cute" reaction from them (uh, not that we tried or anything)."

Not as interesting - It's also useful for a special attack.  :dance:

Actually "otome" is "young woman" as in legal age teenager.


Of course their legal age is NOT the same as ours... 0_0

how about "virgin". in fact, otome has many meanings, but their all concentrated around young "non married" girls etc.
