Tats: How's that Night Striker for PS1? We used to have that arcade machine at our local Aladdin's Castle (the sit-down version - right next to a multi-screen Ninja Warriors). Such a badass game. Been trying to track down the Saturn and Mega CD versions but they're a little on the spendy-side.

I think it is similar to the saturn version, and as I was told it runs on 30fps. the arcade was 60fps. beside of that, it should be arcade faithful.

the MCD version is a huge pile of liquid cow crap compared. sheer unplayable if you ask me.

:edit:

found this:

Night Striker later received a nearly perfect port to the Playstation in 1995. But nearly a year later in 1996, Ving published an enhanced version called Night Striker S on the Saturn. It's also an exact replication of the arcade game, although it features a new CG intro movie and a special Saturn-only mode. It contains a bonus mode with six exclusive levels, although there aren't any branching paths, so it's pretty short. It's not enhanced graphically in any way either, which is a little disappointing. Furthermore, neither of the 32-bit versions feature the arranged music - you're stuck with the original arcade synth, which seems like an annoying oversight considering how much space is left on the CD. Still, it's definitely the best way to experience this overlooked gem.

Tats, there is only one game worth owning a 3DO for just to play it. That game is Star Control 2. It is epic in every sense and a true classic. If you can't source a copy in Japan I will help you get an American copy. There is zero region protection on the 3DO. Take Beamer's and my word for it. Do not part this world without experiencing this game.

It's here! And completely immaculate. Now I just need a Laserdisc player...

[SmaMan]

So is that actually the game that you can play on a Laserdisc? Or is it just a showcase type video like

Either way, I have a Laserdisc player I'm not currently using, and I might just be willing to part with it.

It's just a "Super Play" laserdisc - someone playing through the game. Sounds silly but I can see where back in the day it was amazing to see the arcade game in LD quality on your home TV. This disc was dated 1987. I'm trying to track down the other ones (Super Hang-On, Space Harrier, a few others) but they rarely come up for auction at any semblance of a reasonable price. Got this one for $36.

Awesome. They could've done with a better cover though, instead of just another screencap, seeing as the official artwork to OutRun, even to this day IMO, is badass.

Is it just a superplay or are there some extras on there?

Is this for play on any laserdisc or just the Laser Active?

[Necromancer]

Thanks to BMW, I snagged copies of Ai Cho Aniki, Alzadick - Summer Carnival '92, and Hellfire S.

Agreed...typical Pony Canyon cheapness.

I believe there are some extras on it, but I won't know until I play it. Couldn't find a video of it on YouTube (Retro Realities' YouTube channel has a bunch of these long play discs you can watch in their entirety).

Is this for play on any laserdisc or just the Laser Active?

It's for any LD player. There isn't really anything interactive on these discs.
