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.

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.

I think I bought it for $80.. can't really remember blush.gif

I don't really have specific way to keep up the retros, just turn them on for hours once a while to make sure the lens still reading and battery still running. Also keep them out from the sun, especially white/grey consoles

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

Oh, it's a problem with the controller port, not the controllers. You must be pluggin in and unplug while your DC is on? hmm.gif Never do that

Some shmups you shouldn't miss on Saturn shahreza:
1. Battle Garegga
2. Batsugun (ancestor)
3. Cotton 2
4. Cotton Boomerang
5. Thunder Force V
6. Layer Section
7. Shienryu

Those Strikers 1945 and DonPachis are better on PS1

Going to get regular edition.. By Limited you mean the stick right? I might consider that if it's reasonably priced, not something like Otomedius stick though sleep.gif

Gundam, those are NOT CHEAP AT ALL.

I like Cotton 100% on SNES, but i checked price for 3 & 4,
forgot the figure but remember it is expensive.
