My little collection. I love SCHUMPs.


Some folks (OK, a lot around here) complain about Dragon Spirit (the hitbox, the sluggish default speed before a power-up)...but I say....

DRAGON SPIRIT is a solid game :)

There is less debate over Blazing Lazers (most folks enjoy it, though I think Stage 2 is too easy, too long and has too many dead spots...but it still is a great game).

Sidearms is just an under appreciated game to the masses...it gets love here. I am not the biggest fan of the powerup system, and the recycled bosses are lame for an otherwise solid game.

Listen to the CD-ROM Red Book soundtrack for Sidearms Special once you've played the HuCARD for a bit...you'll better appreciate that soundtrack if you know the main chip tunes. :)

I enjoy Dragon Spirit! The separate ground and air shooting reminds me a little of Raystorm. Plus the dragon is fun.

And I had no idea there was another Sidearms game. I gotta read up on the games....I've been trying to hold back on reading about the CD games because I don't want to get sucked into buying a TurboDuo or CD attachment for my TG16 yet. Thanks for the info.

Wait...are you saying that there's an actual CD of the Sidearms Special soundtrack?

Nice page, este, as usual. The system really was a shooters paradise.

Preach it brother...or you just trolling Josh?

Love D. Spirit! Love Saber even more. Screw ppl that talk about the hit box, that is part of the game.

My little collection. I love SCHUMPs.


You should try R-Type, Sinistron, & Raiden. They are not that pricey. If you don't mind spending a little more I recommend Super Star Solider & Soldier Blade

Ugh I ran into a copy of R-Type at MGC but it wasn't in the budget :(. CIB too! And I'm currently hunting for Raiden. One of my favorite SCHUMPs as a kid.

Is Sinistron the same game as the arcade cabinet? 'Cause that game was so weird.

Hell no, I believe this with my heart and soul.

:)

I really do.

And, naturally, I don't understand why folks talk about a "hitbox" when they really should be saying, "This game requires strategies/dodging skills that I lack."

Full disclosure;

Sidearms is actually a pretty cool game.  I might have to check out the Redbook audio "Special" edition someday.

Not super impressive, but here is my humble collection.


The Rondo of Blood is a bootleg as well as Sapphire. I just wanted to own them for the sake of being able to play them.
The Valis 3 is actually a US version, I just put the Japanese cover art over it. lol
The boys unfortunately are currently in bad shape though. My Turbo Duo and Duo-RX won't play discs now. I bought the PC Engine when the first Duo died, and now my poor boy is benched too.
*pets them sympathetically*

*edit Forgot to include my Wii Ware titles (Have about 4-5, but I don't know if that really counts)

If you vanna resurrect your fallen comrades, there are some amazing techs here that can help. They exude zombie Jesus power through their fingertips, or so I've been told.

Majors was mentioning I may be able to find some help here. I'm def wanting to fix my them. I've got the funds. I actually just added a few new games to the collection from MGC, and I'm dying to play them.
