Twin Eagle 2, since I just picked it up. Next is Thunder Force AC, in route. I want to get Borderdown or Gigawing 2 for Naomi since I have it dedicated on a horizontal screen.

I was playing Gradius V at a firends house last week because they had never played it. Man, it's still a kick ass game.

Just picked it up at gamestop....i can't believe they had it. Missing the manual, but not bad for 15 bucks. Really diging it.

Currently playing Elemental Master on the Megadrive, this is my first time playing the game but i'm enjoying it so far - got it along with UndeadLine & Twinkle Tale, but Elemental Master seems the easiest of the 3 so I thought i'd start with that. UndeadLine, however, certainly lives up to it's reputation as being super difficult.

Also, i've been playing Mushihime-sama on the PS3 for about 4 months now, trying to beat it with one credit as i've never 1cc'd a Cave SHMUP before.

I'm trying to find Elemental Master as well. Good ol technosoft. You must have dropped some cash for Undead Line and Twinkle Tale!!

well.......yeah I did to beat the final level or so

I simply was tired of the game at that point and just wanted to see the ending. Fantastic game though, one of my favorites now. I played the NTSC version Lightening Force.
