Seeing how close Radirgy got to getting a proper American release on the GC, putting it together with 2 other titles was a smart choice.

Fired up Garegga with my trusty HRAP 2 SA for the first time since maybe September. It was like a glass of fine wine after nothing but Bud Light for the last 4 months.

Garegga's soundtrack is strange to me.

Awesome game but....Is that like house they have for a soundtrack?

:?: - I thought it was Chaos Field that got a NA release for GC.

Chaos Field did, but Radirgy was to be next in line as the North American-titled Radio Allergy. The box art was also complete (with a "Wii-compatible" symbol on it) but seeing as it was pushed back to the middle of 2007 when the GC was officially discontinued and with retailers not on board for such a niche title, the release was cancelled.

Man Kingdom Grand Prix is confusing as hell. I have my controls getting invertered (Up and down is left and right) Tate Mode when I didn't ask for Tate mode. not to mention I have no idea how the race mechanics work or how to win a race and things blow me up...

Def a WTF game.

I've cleared the first loop in KGP with Bornnam, completely ignoring the race part (I think Bornnam is the slowest character anyway). Of course, ignoring the race part means I didn't qualify for the 2nd loop. For the branching stages, I think if you pick the right-hand-side each time, that should be the easier route.

If you're actually trying to race, you need to be holding down the shot button and staying in the top half of the screen to go quicker.
