RECCA

...now where is the thread for which SHMUP will you never play again?

First response:
RECCA

I can certainly appreciate the intense action and the fact that a game was developed to move that amazingly fast w/no slow-down on an console released 25 years ago. With that said, I can't beat the first board. I can't last 90 seconds. I hate that game.


Really? man, I have been dying to try that one too. That is too bad.

I have heard such good things about it. Sounds really tough, I have heard Pink Sweets compared as a modern remake of Recca


It was brutal - I sure some purists out there will think i'm crazy. For me, if a game is hard, it presents a challenge. If a game is TOO hard, it isn't fun.

Makes sense. I'm curious, how did you end up liking Last Hope?

Thats another one that seems like it would turn off most, but the kickass music kept me playing

Ha ha. I have actually never gave that a go, I think I have it on Taito Legends 2, not positive though.

Don't feel too bad, I am STILL playing Phantasy Star Online about 4 hours a day with the lady. That and Pokemon on the Super Gameboy Player xD

Pink Sweets is not Last Hope Pink Bullets.

Something was lost in translation obviously.

I have Last Hope DC acquired recently from...Dunpeal.

He just bought MMP/Pink Sweets XBOX from those proceeds.

On that note...I am now searching for Gals Panic :D

I was actually trying to compare recca and pink sweets. They are still totally different, but comparing last hope to pink sweets would be downright silly

Pink sweets is amazing =)
