(I haven't played Metal Stoker much but I've never been eager to clear it)

L-Dis is just a fun, though hard, amazing game. On of the best shooters on the PCE. I've never managed to clear it but man, what a game! Everyone would expect an easy game by looking at the cute graphics but it really takes you by surprise.

the kid anime theme at the beginning definitely threw me off, but it is a pretty good shooter! This is one I've never had the urge to complete though, not sure why. I don't like the cover particularly, but I'll give it another go todayyyy

gave it another go today - it's good, but a bit harder than I'd like. I wound up playing Download 2 instead ;_;

I do love 2D games with sunsets in them though!

I really should try to beat L-Dis. I don't think I got past the cavalcade of bosses, which made me cry because I thought this game would be easy, easy, easy.

gave it another go today - it's good, but a bit harder than I'd like. I wound up playing Download 2 instead ;_;

I love the music in Download 2. SWEETNESS. Really, really good stuff, IMO, and... I often replay the game simply to hear the music.

I don't know what's wrong with me. After having to continue for a second time on LEVEL ONE I got annoyed and gave up. I know I'm better than this!

I will play L-Dis tonight but from memory:

In L-Dis you spend a good amount of it bashing your fists as you eat bullets. But apart from that, it's a tight, fast paced shooter which pleases by large degrees. It does this primarily by virtue of its tightness and fastness of pace.
The only thing going against it is it's name which in the UK is a common professionaly abbreviation for learning disabilities.

L-Dis is one of those games which is helped along by the CD ROM soundtrack. It always struck me as odd to have anything other than bleepy 8 bit music to these so called cute-em-ups.

By the way, great thread idea, I look forward to commenting on the other games of the week. Maybe even reply to some old posts.
Systems: PCE white, Core Grafx, CD Rom2 / IFU30, GT, LT, Super CD Rom2. Games: Almost all the shooters and about 50 others and growing! Also into Sega Saturn and Dreamcast shooters.

Had some time to rip up some L-Dis yestrday. I'm a shmup kinda guy and this game delivers! As the previous post, fast n tight. I like it.

Kinda reminds me of The Lost Sunheart with its cute-but-dark nature.
Nothin beats the real thing.

That was the week before last so you missed it.

Really? I've never heard that used. Maybe I'm just not 'street' enough.
I often see carvans with Elddis on them though.
