SHMUP PICKUPS FOR APRIL 2012

GADGET TWINS

Imagitec Design

Sega Genesis

1992

US exclusive for Sega's 16 bit shmup powerhouse. Multi directional scrolling.. Not a fan of this game whatsoever. Money well spent ;)

 SOL FEACE

Wolf Team

Sega Mega Drive

1992

Brand new and still sealed PAL replacement for the collection. i don't own a Mega CD in any region form but one day i will and to find a sealed shmup from 1992 at such a reasonable price i can never turn it down. I will be unsealing this by the way to play it someday.

RAIDEN DENSETSU

Seibu Kaihatsu 

Super Famicom

1992

The game that started off the Raiden series. Not had a chance to play this yet but looking forward to working my way through the entire series having only previously played 2 &3. Beautiful overall package. Also known as Raiden Trad.

DODONPACHI DAI-OU-JOU BLACK LABEL EXTRA

Cave

Xbox 360 (NTSC-J)

2009

What a stunning front cover for this game. Hard as nails gameplay and Cave's high standards as always. Been after this one for awhile

RAIDEN FIGHTERS ACES

Seibu Kaihatsu

Xbox 360 (NTSC-J)

2009

Incredible package all round. 3 complete arcade ports of Raiden Fighters 1, 2 & Jet. Home console exclusive versions. I was holding out for the PAL release of this package but it really does seem like it will never arrive.

CAPCOM DIGITAL COLLECTION (featuring 1942: JOINT STRIKE)

Capcom

Xbox 360 (PAL)

2012

I picked this up for collection purposes only. I already have Joint Strike on XBLA. Not a great game by any means.
