Got down on some more Batman the other day along with some Blazing Lazers. Been spending most of my (currently limited) free time on Skyrim.

I've watched every episode of "Storage Wars" and there has yet to be ANY significant video game appearance in a storage locker. WTF?

In one hilarious episode, a very silly man thought NES would be worth $$$$. He clearly had been influenced by the delusional sellers who gouge customers on ebay.

munchiaz · 12/11/2011, 06:49 PM

Just beat Ys 1. What an awesome game. Can't wait to dive in to book 2

That was the joke between me and my friend who helped me move (thanks, bro). LOL. He kept saying. "DUDE. You know what would have happened if you hadn't payed the storage bill? Your #^$* is going to go on Storage Wars!"

Retrocool · 12/12/2011, 03:27 AM

Finally got my Dracula X which I am playing and I am also playing Word Heroes 2 and Fatal Fury 2 Special and Ninja Gaiden

PunkCryborg · 12/12/2011, 05:13 AM

Playing Lords of Thunder with my friend, at the last boss just cant beat the bitch yet. Also played some Final Soldier last night, I can beat it on the second credit but think I can get a 1cc tonight when I get home

HercTNT · 12/12/2011, 11:07 AM

should i be ashamed for taking a brief break from SO2 to courageously fight my way through strip fighter 2............why do i feel so dirty.............

Mishran · 12/12/2011, 11:22 AM

Just started playing Neutopia this morning. Obtained the first medallion. I've played the game many times, but have yet to finish it. Perhaps this time I will...

Damon Plus · 12/13/2011, 09:01 AM

King of Casino. Not a big fan of casino games, but this one has a very charming and peaceful atmosphere which I find very relaxing.

Quote from: bartre on 12/13/2011, 11:53 AMfinished ys book I last night, now i'm moving on to book II!

Book II is an amazing step up over I, the story is much more detailed with a hell of a lot more dialogue and stuff to do and explore. I tore threw most of the game on my flights to and from New Jersey earlier this year and man what a way to spend time on a plane.

I can't wait to get the TGCD copy I bought, as fun as it was playing on PSP, its always more fun to play on the older stuff.

I'm playing SonSon II right now, got it along with a ton of other games with my Duo-R last night and am loving it! Tough as nails and I'm making little progress but ach time I get a little farther, I'm sure I'd get even farther if I could figure out how to use the items.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/13/2011, 01:49 PM

Son Son II is the stuff dreams are made of. That game is gorgeous.

roflmao · 12/13/2011, 03:51 PM

I played some Galaga '90 this morning. Great game.

BigusSchmuck · 12/13/2011, 07:51 PM

Been playing Gulliver Boy on and off, til I got frustrated that I couldn't understand the bloody game. Right now, mostly Wizardry IV, at least that came is 90% English.

SMF · 12/13/2011, 07:57 PM

R-Type, Awesome game just hate the nasty screen flashes and slowdown when the screen gets busy.

Gao · 12/13/2011, 09:35 PM

Playing Cosmic Fantasy 2 right now. It's got a certain charm to it, but I'm not entirely sure I like the underlying gameplay that much.

bartre · 12/13/2011, 09:49 PM

yeah, later on the enemy encounter rates are insane, i couldn't get myself to finish it.
the box art on that game is epic though.

Jesus, the random encounters gets worse? I guess I'll keep playing for a bit, but I have a feeling that I'm not going to be finishing this one, either.

bartre · 12/13/2011, 10:03 PM

yeah...
damn shame though, it's not like it's really a bad game.
back on track though,
just got 100% Richter clear on Dracula X
damn proud of that one!

It's been ages since I played through it, but that's partially because of all the random encounters I had to slog through to make it to the end. I think bitd it turned me off RPGs in general for a bit at the time. I *AM* glad I made it through to the ending, but I doubt I have the fortitude to do it again.

A_Locomotive · 12/14/2011, 01:13 PM

Played some Winds of Thunder this morning. Beat the first level on a single life for the first time today.

The rest of the levels are still posing a challenge. Also played a little SonSon II again, got to the tiger boss and he kicked my ass, lol farthest I've made it yet.

I got stuck early on in this game. I should re-visit it.

Please keep me updated on how frustrated (or not) you get as you progress. I don't like to use any guides/FAQ's/hints.

Obfuscate · 12/14/2011, 06:29 PM

Spriggan, for the first time. Pretty nice so far.

I love this game so much.

UPL owned.

Right now I'm playing Metal Stoker again. Neither the graphics nor the music are outstanding but the style is perfect and keeps me coming back. It's one of my favorite PCE games.

munchiaz · 12/18/2011, 07:35 AM

playing castlevania:rondo of blood. Really enjoying it so far. like it much more then the psp version.

edojapan76 · 12/18/2011, 12:25 PM

Will be starting Y's3 today.

Lilgrafx · 12/18/2011, 05:03 PM

Played Neutopia yesterday, got the first two medallions. I really love the game but it seems a little easy.

roflmao · 12/18/2011, 08:59 PM

I beat Spriggan on Normal difficulty today. Woo hoo! Time to play it on Hard.

DesmondThe3rd · 12/18/2011, 09:10 PM

I been playing Super Air Zonk again and I decided to review it in a video to vent how disappointed I was with it overall.

I'm also playing Shadow of the Beast and Soldier Blade Special Edition too.

HercTNT · 12/18/2011, 10:02 PM

Alien crush, king of casino, and parodius da. finally got by the dancing girl in parodius...

Trust me, it gets harder towards the end, but not terribly so. Mostly because of hidden passageways you have to find to progress in the game.

nice, that puts you at what, stage 6?
what'd you think of the fight with bat/medusa/mummy/franky/shaft

munchiaz · 12/19/2011, 01:56 AM

^ i did it with maria, and i got to shaft the first try then died on him. if you lose that fight you onbly have to fight shaft again so it becomes pretty easy. But it was an awesome boss fight. I actually beat the game with maria. I gotta get stage 5' and recuse some girls still

T2KFreeker · 12/19/2011, 06:56 PM

Hmm, okay, No Gate of Thunder love at the moment, but hopefully I will be on Insanity soon . . .

chany60126 · 12/19/2011, 06:58 PM

Maria is a cool character to use.... But it almost feels like your cheating since she is faster and you can double jump.

played some monster lair today. got to world 4.

roflmao · 12/20/2011, 06:40 PM

I think that's usually about how far I make it as well. I keep telling myself that one of these days I'm going to sit down and try to get good at the game. From what I recall, it's a pretty long game.

munchiaz · 12/20/2011, 06:57 PM

yeah i got to the boss of world 4. I lost alot of lives in stupid ways, so i will give it another run tonight and see how far i get

WARNING: massive brain dump ahead!

I've played a lot of fantastic games recently. I had to do some travel, so I brought along my Express and ended up playing a lot of Super Star Soldier. This is an awesome game! Stupidly hard. I guess I'll reveal that a suck at shooters and say it's only recently I could pass the first level without dying.

This week a bunch of PCE games I've never played finally arrived! I got Shubibinman 3, Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury Special, World Heros 2, Strider, Star Parodier, Legend of Xanadu, Anearth Fantasy Story, Space Invaders and Kaze Kiri. I haven't spent of ton of time playing them all yet, but...

Shubibinman 3—Holy shit! This game is awesome! Great graphics, great game play, awesome music - this game is just all around fantastic! I can't say enough about how cool I think this game is. The train scene was awesome, the suicide bombing boss was awesome (and he lived?!), and the music... so good!

Star Parodier—Talk about a game with charm! I absolutely love the announcer. I'm only kind of ashamed that I cycled through the characters repeatedly just so I could hear her declare "Paro Ceaser!", "PC Engine!" and "Bom-ber Man!"

The game is super fun and just looks amazing. The music is, as always, incredible. A real treat, I can't believe I haven't played this before.

Space Invaders—OK, I have to admit that I'm a long time fan of this game. It was one of, if not the first video game I ever played. This version is really cool: there's an old school arcade mode that as best I can tell is the same (though I guess it's been a long time since I've played any variant of this game), and a "new" school mode where your ship has multiple hits and the graphics are better. I really like the wire frame effects!

Kaze Kiri—Another great game! The controls here are deeper than I initially realized. Up left/up right causes your character to run. Up/Down plus button I causes your character to front or back flip and it appears your character is invincible while doing so. The graphics are very good, I really like the animation. The sound effects are some of the best I've heard on the Duo. I vaguely recall reading that the game is pretty easy, but I got my ass handed to me pretty quick (third level maybe?). I need to play more of this!

The Neo Geo fighters are all cool I guess. I haven't really played enough of of any of them to really formulate an opinion yet. Fatal Fury Special is my favorite, but honestly I probably prefer Kabuki Itoryoden to any of the Neo Geo fighters. At least so far, and I guess I should clarify I'm a SF2 whore.

I played a touch of Strider and wasn't really blown away. I'm wondering if turbo on button II isn't the best choice. Movement was slow and jumping seemed jenky to me. Then again, I played it once so my opinion isn't valid.

The RPG's I only watched the intros to. I'll track down walk throughs after playing some more of the other games I got.

TL;DR There are a lot of really good games that never made it to the US. Glad I'm getting a chance to play them now!
