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.

    woah never played Gadget Twins will have to locate a copy cheers for showing. Glad you've got Raiden fighters there's a lot of game, I've never seen a shooter with a bigger roster of selectable fighters. I'd completely forgotten about Sol grace, reminds me that I need to get robo aleste too

      Gadget Twins isn't that easy to get hold of but there are copies out there. I paid probably more than i'd have liked at £20ish but it was mint and saved me alot of shipping from the States for avergae condition copies. Not very good game though mate.

    Another great batch!
    I'm always envious of how things get to UK faster than they do here. HAHAHAHA
    Japanese SNES Raiden's artwork is stunning, it's a shame the port is the worst of them all....

    some great games right there. RFA is such a nice package with tons of play time. DOJ is well DOJ, one of the best games ever made IMO
