Still don't understand all the Xevious hate. Geez, in Dragon Spirit, ALSO BY NAMCO, you shoot in the air and bomb at the ground! So we're gonna hate on that too????? One of these days it'll be loved!
What's next, GAPLUS because it's a spinoff of Galaga? Better not be! Shut your mouths!

I, for one, welcome our new Xevious overlords.
PD: I know they have actual names and an actual language but I do not love Xevious that much.
PDD: Yet.

I'm flabbergasted that there are people who don't like shooting in the air and bombing the ground. I always thought this was a really neat feature in older shmups. It adds a whole new layer of depth to the experience (no pun intended... >_> ).

I actually told that story yesterday.
Fun fact for those who don't know: There is no dedicated Ms. Pac-Man PCB. The PCB is just a Pac-Man board with an additional chip installed.
