I always die during the 4th scene, haven't played an awhile, but now I can't wait to get home and fire it up. I picked up a new Japanese version as well.

we're kindred spirits, just kidding. I thought this was going to be a darius clone when I first bought it. You can imagine my surprise.

Here's another one going through my collection;

8. Kyuukyoku Tiger

Cool powerups and definitely worth the pickup.

Yea, DB is no Darius clone

Totally different.

ok, you know that tiger heli for NES has a special place in my heart (my first NES game... it was the only NES shoot-em-up in the store...). Continuing the theme, one of the first Japanese games I bought back in the day was Kyuukyoku Tiger HuCard.

Nowadays these games are panned by many shoot-em-up fans, but I still love these old skool titles.

I love Mr. Heli and Kyuukyoku Tiger! No one here has mentioned Psychosis yet, at least I am assuming that because I'm too lazy to go back and check (Hell I might've said it already

). Not many people talk about this shooter, but I think it's pretty fun and has some crazy stuff in it.

i like psychosis...

check out the cover art (tg16 version)... it's AWESOME.

I have the game, and yes the cover art does indeed rule! Some crazy enemies in that game too.

more shooters should have fetus-like enemies.

I really dig the boss designs in R-Type. Especially if I remember correctly the second or third level boss which looked like a vagina or something. The first level boss is awesome as well.

I got R-type complete on SCD the other day..that game rocks! the music is killer. for those of you who have played the hu-card and the cd, what are the differences? I know that my version has r-type 1&2 on it plus cinemas, but I guess the music was changed...but I love the music on my version..plus it's tough! eventually I will pick up the 2 hucards...r-type 2 never came out in the us right?

The US HuCard of R-Type has all the levels from R-Type on it, so it has both R-Type 1 and 2 HuCards in it.

I have the PC engine HuCard versions of R-Type and they're split on 2 cards.

I also have the Playstation version R-Types. It has original R-Type and R-Type II. R-Type on this CD is no where near the quality for the PC Engine. Colors are a little different, controls are slow, and there's slowdown?! I would have never known had I not picked up the PC Engine version.

I'm gonna have to check out Psychosis now.

yeah, the SCD version is great... but I dig the HuCard PSG tunes as well. I'm pretty certain that the game itself is identical, it simply adds cinemas and Red Book soundtrack.

I love the 80's-sounding tunes on the CD soundtrack (R R R R R R R -type)...

I really want to get the Complete CD now.

I just played Lords of Thunder for about two hours straight. I beat a good portion of it before I had to go out to dinner. What a great game... I can't get over just how good it was.

Keranu · « **Reply #44 on:** March 19, 2005, 05:09:26 AM »

Yeah Lords is great; I recently beat it for the billionth time actually. If you stick to the Earth armor, it's actually a pretty easy game.
