What shmup are you playing now?

^1P only? If 2P, does it allow for play w/an online partner? Gawd, I hate downloads, from what your saying, i'd easily pay $20 for a disc, but have a hard time justifying $6 for a download.

It does offer 2P, but doubtful for online since it's a PSX import. My understanding is those are nothing but ISO's with the region lock-out disabled. There's nothing else added or taken away.

oh and I forgot in Kyuiin there's a part where you have to shoot a bunch of Santa Clauses.

Layer Section, known as Galactic Attack in the everywhere else. Wonderfully put together Taito shmup. It has this insanely clever xevious-bomb like cursor that locks on to enemy ships in the lower area of the screen and launches missiles at them. That, combined with classic shoot everything that moves action made for quite a fantastic game.

Its also cheap. Even the localized version. Any Saturn fan should really look into this. Its a good shmup for beginners that eases you into chaos.

Super Star Soldier for PCE/TG-16. This one is pretty tough compared to the other Soldier games. One hit and your weapons get downgraded enough to make it hell. Lose a life and it's even harder to recover, better just restart.
Awesome music though and very nice feel overall. I'll update when I clear it!

I'm back to Touhou 6, after 6 months or so of a break. Not doing any better now than I was then.

Apparently my sfc version isn't good enough, so I have to actually dowload and use an emulator.

Go team!

Mega-Dittos. Damn that spring-necked-boss thing is a bitch.

I have the PSP collection, which is awesome.
