I'd order 1 box and 1 sticker for every game you plan to own - best way to do it for cost.

If you only have 20 and don't plan on getting more, then yeah, just do 20.

Great collection MJM! I'm Curious do you enjoy the Strikers 1945 series at all? I couldn't quite tell if you had it on a PCB or cart. I know it has received a port to PS2 long ago, but it's one I'd recommend.

I love Psikyo, next to CAVE, my fave developer. Strikers isn't my fav of theirs but it is solid. I have Strikers 1945 Plus on MVS and I have Strikers 1945 I and II for Saturn. Honestly, don't play any of them all too often. I find them better as 2p co-op games and lately i've been playing solo primarily.

Picked up this board yesterday:

I'm liking the Ketsui and the Ibara. I really want to get a copy of triggerheart because I like the art style but it can be pretty pricey at times.

Triggerheart Exelica is worth the money. But only the DC version. The XBLA version isn't worth $10 and the PS2 version isn't worth whatever it costs. Unless you're getting them solely to add to your collection.

On the XBLA version. Besides missing modes... The speed is off. Slowdown is off. The scoring is off. The sound is off. The whole game just feels strange if you are familiar with the original NAOMI/DC version. Didn't feel nearly as fun for some reason. This isn't even about glitches.

PS2 version has a sweet anime intro and a useless 3rd character that moves too fast to be very useful. And it's a port of the XBLA version... On weaker harder. So same issues with massive slowdown. I didn't play it for more than 15 min. Can't remember if there was anything else.
