My cousin has gone missing in London. He's severely autistic and non-verbal, so extremely vulnerable. Please share. x

Here’s a video excerpt from Earthion Stage 3, recently revealed and captured directly from my Mega Drive. Watch as huge set pieces slam and shift in real time, with sound effects that hit like never before. And wait until you see the massive boss.

Castlevania Domino’s Collection has arrived from LRG.
Exclusives, and only exclusives like this are worth it from them even though it was delayed a few months.
Fair play though, at least they kept me informed.

Go for Saturn over PS1 though πŸ”₯

08.03.2025 15:05 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Mine would definitely be Gradius V, Thunderforce 5, Dodonpachi Ressurection and Darius Gaiden….curiously most are Yoko shmups.
Honourable mentions go to TF3, Tatsujin, DDP DaiOuJou, Batsugun(still trying for 1cc) Andro Dunos 2 and Battle Garraga.
Not saying I don’t play others though.

These are 4 of the STGs (other than our own) I've spent the most time with and/or cleared, with honorable mentions to Parodius Da, Radiant Silvergun, UN Squadron, Deathsmiles I & II, Terra Flame, Devil Blade Reboot, Dead End City and DoDonPachi.

Which #shmups do you have the most experience with?

Ok so it ain’t pretty but it contains perfect arcade ports of 3 of the most iconic Sega arcade games.
It’s just missing the arranged music found on the Japanese version of Outrun but everything else is there.

Another one to celebrate the upcoming Saturn review video by Shmup Junkie!

It runs like a dream on the Analogue Pocket my dude. An expensive way to play it I know but it’ll probably cost about the same as getting a PC Engine in good condition and buying the original game….its quite expensive to say the least 😫
