Lately for me it's been Parasol Stars, After Burner II, and Bonk's Adventure. I need to get in on the Somer Assault weekly game.

I just finished up Spriggan, which was awesome... I'll probably play through it a couple more times with different weapon combinations just to see which I like the best.

After that I think I'll start a Valis I-IV run, which is something I've really been looking forward to. I've only ever played the inferior Genesis/Mega Drive versions until now.  8)

Just beat Valis.  That last guy was a real piece of shit, especially since dying on him (first time I ever saw that boss!) means you start the stage over with no weapons.  I got really, really good at doing the stage but the best you can have going in the fight is ONE power-up, which then goes away if you die, and you are NOT going to melee this dude's two forms to death.

Some bullshit!

Awesome... well, I have that to look forward to I guess.  8-[

Which Valis is that, btw?

Oh, I didn't number it because it's the PC Engine CD port of the first game that came out after all the other games.  I'm pretty sure it was the last Valis game ever made (aside from the hentai one =X).  It definitely has the highest production values.

It's easier if you already know the level and the fight and come in powered up from the previous stage but I wasn't going to start the game over from scratch.

PS - don't forget about all the different types of magic like I did!  The shield is super useful.

Currently playing Dragon Slayer, man there is something about Falcom that can turn games that should be kinda assy, like this one, into far more than the sum of their parts. The localization itself doesn't actually seem too bad either, with the worst part about it being the changed names, which always annoys me, and the horrible horrible VO. Man it is just laughably bad.

Still I do like that the story is actually about a dude being pro-active for once, and a bad guy who doesn't at least at first seem all powerful. Still lots of little issues. WAY too many battles for one, and  annoying enemy patterns. That said, I am having a blast with it. The world feels quite alive for a game of that era, and cool things like following an army to retake a castle are just plain neat.

I just finished Dragon Slayer and almost did Ys Book I in one sitting. I'm only missing the 6th book in the tower.

Had a great time with Dragon Slayer, and for a first time with Ys I i really like it even if pretty simple.

I got PC Engine Ys 3 recently.  I always figured that the intro's translation of Adol defeating an Alien was pretty wonky and what do you know!  The intro was actually talking about how a hero in the past defeated an evil monster!  Good work, early video game translators!
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

I'm like a lifer Japanese student, but I was thinking I would play some graphic adventures to help me along with my reading.  I was considering  Bubble Gum Crash, are there any other good Japanese Hu-Cards worth a look as far as that type of game goes?

Legendary Axe.  The Pits of Madness are driving me nuts.  Just when I figure out the patterns for all the monsters up to that point, they throw brand new ones at me.
