Are you planning to get US or JP Guardian Heroes? And regarding shmup, you must play Battle Garegga, which IMO much better than RSG

US ver for language purpose...nevertheless any version will do... love the fighting

Battle Garegga... played in the arcades... awesome.. waste of lot of my coins..
i think the port is perfect on saturn...

Buy the game (Battle Garegga), beat the game once (don't care how many credits) and watch the superplay and learn why this game is unversally recognized as the shmup with deepest mechanics. Every time you suicide, collect item, bombing and even how rapid you shoot affects the game difficulty nod.gif I'm still learning this game every time I play it.


Added on January 31, 2009, 7:06 pmI wonder how do you guys maintain your retro consoles hmm.gif Curious because that's what I'm doing right now

How much did u get it?

I haven't try Soukyugerentai... also Thunderforce 6 on ps2... cry.gif

How u maintain your retro consoles, gundam? any tips...

So far i know
- keep it away from serious dirt/dust and moisture.
- keep the console systems in a dust-free place
- keep the games in a tub or protective case/sleeve, they would last longer.
- the only things that really ever go bad are the batteries.

also keep on eye the metal connectors on the joypads and consoles... it rusts or oxidized... dreamcast controllers not easy to maintain...

Why not buy from PA?
No, I haven't used those before as I already own the Agetec stick. You may want to take off the whole thing from bottom and clean the inside and check the connections, shouldn't be hard. If they are snap fits you could even replace the buttons, but I'm not sure what buttons might fit hmm.gif

u know any shops that sell spare parts for arcade cabinets?... wanna look up for the buttons...see if they fit

I want to buy a dreamcast wth !?
Anyone selling, been having trouble getting this console.
Last time i heard, Sega is going to mass-produce sega dreamcast in
bundles with games. But its nothing concrete.

the one bundles with the game or limited edition are expensive to get...

Welcome rclxms.gif

Which Super Mario you are talking about? NES? SNES?

Your statement makes me wonder, what's everyone's reason here playing retro? Nostalgic or quality gaming? Mine is definitely the latter smile.gif

gundam

its both actually... nostalgic n quality gaming appreciation... icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes, this is usually 3rd party product and not endorsed by SEGA. Everything almost looks the same, except there are built-in games. There are few 3rd party SEGA-endorsed product but usually they came on different shape and not copying the original SEGA models.

yeah true

http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/manufactur...ducts-list.html - this is the genuine fake console manufacturer that buzz on the net... esp the funstation lookalike ps3... laugh.gif
