If you wait patiently, then it is usually around 65-70 dollars for a complete copy. You can also get the import version as it is usually cheaper.

I haven't seen a complete copy of this game sell for under $100 for the last couple months.

To me this game is everything a great shmup should be. Awesome wepons, great levels, unique enemies and bosses. It's a fast and furious and has great controls. Robo Aleste was actually the first game in the series that I played, and instantly I was hooked. After that I searched high and low for an affordable copy of MUSHA. One day I go to my regular game store and it's just sitting there for 12 bucks, then I found the box art on ebay for 10....it's got a few rips unfortunately and I still need the manual, but all-in-all I got a pretty good deal.

Someone just bought a complete copy for 65 dollars with a buy it now last week. I didn't want to buy it because I thought that was a bit much.

I just picked up a cart-only copy of M.U.S.H.A. from eBay. Does anyone have a scan of the manual, or can you at least explain the controls to me? I figured out that C fires, A switches weapons, and on the pause screen you can change the robot's speed. I'm not sure what B does though. Granted, I've only played it for about a minute so far.

Edit: I figured out that B fires the special weapon, or at least the missiles and the lighting. The shield seems to be automatic.

Wow, MUSHA's come a long way. It was a bargain bin game for years back in the day!

I had sold the cart by itself for about $75 a year ago.
