I'm lusting after it, I wish it was released on more
platforms. I really froth at the mouth for hard shooters.
mail me your system and the game and I'll beat the level for
you

I really want to get this, downloading it for DC at the
moment but the torrent is stuck at 97% like a twat. Even
maddox liked it.

That review was spot on.
About tekken of course...

horse, I finally stole an avatar from you.

I actually fucking hate maddox these days. I feel like
sometimes you can really detect him struggling to assume his
macho persona, and slightly failing. He is damned funny,
but I feel like I'm being convinced of something cheap when
I see his shit. I banned myself from him a few months back
to be correct, when he had a dip in quality (around the
thailand trip I guess it was)..

I'll send you my gamecube as soon as I beat this. Keep your
fingers crossed

That guy reminds me of the 'Chicks Suck' guy and the
Misanthropic Bitch. I wonder if she's dead by now...

I can buy one pretty cheap these days, and since the games
are also inexpensive, I should just friggin' do it. It's
not like I'd be 2x as happy if I paid 2x as much for ps2 and
those games.. of course continuing that logic, you'd
realize I should be happy with my emulators and friend's
ps1, which I am, with the exception of ikaruga. I'm boring.
who read this far?

Odds on Qrter using that as his next avatar ;)

Ikaruga is great, but I've not played it the past couple of
months (although I probably will go back to it after my
recent spate of playing old side scrollers). It's very
challenging and seems the sort of game that even when you
complete it (I haven't, I'm on level 5) you'd still go back
and replay it.

Mertens: RE Tekken.

Damn straight, I was playing tekken 1 in the arcade the
other day and I'd forgot how bad it was... even though the
graphics were nice at the time, it's not a patch on Virtua
Fighter 1 now the eye candy has worn off.

"Has anyone ever beaten this?"

That's a good question :-p I wonder if it's possible?

I can never get past stage 4 myself. So many bullets. It's
so confusing that the red bullet-streams rotate in the
opposite direction of the white bullet-streams... eventually
I always fuck up and get destroyed. It's so intense
though... I love it :-)

I kinda wanna put my tv on it's side to experience the game
to the fullest :-p But that would probably be a bad idea.

ceri: well, from what I know about it, though the execution
is perfect, the game is as hard-core mechanical as you get.
I mean, it does as much as possible to become nothing but
reaction time and finger dexterity, so understandably it
loses reply value. In any case I really really do want to
play it; I love shooters and though I usually don't care for
nice gfx, I've played a few pretty ones on ps1 (raycrisis is
gorgeous) and really enjoyed it.

BTW regarding raycrisis: put it on the hardest mode,
otherwise it's a waste of time.

I wish I had access to a gamecube..

I played it about 6 times and I can get up to level 4 quite
easy.

The replay value comes in the form of "bullet eating"... a
technique involving completing the game without firing a
shot (except presumably on the bosses).

i think this game is a masterpiece.

i never got past the boss of level 3 though - but i get to
level 4 most of the time, once (with 7 continues or
something like that so that's not glorious -_-) even past
that giant circular bunker with the bullet pattern of
death...

be careful, the more you get points, the more continues you
will get for future parties - this is a good thing in the
beginning, when you want to go further and find the game
really hard, but if you don't disable this continue
expansion thing when you get up to 9 (or before), you will
get "free play" - which means, infinite continues. which i
think ruins the game - with infinite continues, anyone can
finish the game... = /
