I remember C&VG stating that the sound was just like having your own orchestra next to you!
They always were ones for overstating things.

That's a really nice and crisp pic of R-Type, tat! Is that on a big TV or a projector?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

It's a pity there aren't any pictures from Tatsujin and his nerd friends projecting the screen on a huge house wall across the street! :(
