Meh, I already got a multitap so I can access the Boss Rush mode in Super Darius. Kinda annoying to have to use one controller in each hand to access it though.

And why does Japan's VC get Super Darius I and II, but we don't? I probably would've bought a Wii instead.

The Genesis version cranks up the difficulty to ridiculous levels compared to other versions, even the arcade IIRC. The 'normal' is more like 'very hard' on other games, and you can turn it up from there! The PCE version looks better too. For an extreme example, look at the bomb screenshots on these pages.

Valis 2-4, as well as The Legend of the Fantasm Soldier Valis, the remake of the original game. Muchhhh better than their Genesis/SNES versions.

Gekibo: Gekisha Boy

Might be easier to emulate it translated as "Photograph Boy"

It's just a fun game. Trying to reach the necessary score, regardless of whether you get your boss' desired picture or not. Plus there's a crazy amount of 80's American pop culture throughout.
