Raiden Trad... I guess I've played that on the arcade, though I'm not entirely sure. 1942 is a good game, though the song gets irritating after a while. There is a remake on the Xbox Live Arcade that, to me, is as good as it gets. There is also 19XX on the arcades; don't know if it's because of the sexy vertical screen, but I always play a level or two of it when I swing by at a nearby arcade ;D
But sadly, those aren't really my thing. I'd rather go first person on Fury³ or Descent on the PC. There was a game, though, on the NES; I guess it was called Thundercade. In the game, you ride a bike with guns and blows up tanks and faeces. That was a great shmup, using good mechanics while avoiding the space cliché.

Not too much into the PC FPS's, but I am a HUGE fan of Half-Life 2. (Seriously...I have a poster on my wall of Dog tearing into a strider ;D ) I play it on the Xbox 360, though. Not sure I've heard of Thundercade, but it sounds a lot like Mach Rider, which is awesome. I'll have to look it up.  |

Yeah, I'd say it's like Mach Rider, but instead of being from a makeshift third person perspective, it's overhead, like most spaceship shmups, which means you also get a level of sorts, instead of riding on the same road forever while randomly killing buggies. You also get upgrades here and there which, from what I remember, transform into attachments to your bike in-game.
For PC FPS', I enjoy pretty much anything beside war games. Got already tired of shooting nazis and saving the USA again and again. I'm not really into Half-Life ² either. Even though the game is good, I can't stand the fact that I've played the first game, the second game, both of the expansion packs it's got and still don't know jack about that creepy G-man whom keeps interrupting the game here and there. Valve should explain their game already.

I just chalk it up to almost David-Lynch-levels of creepy, nonsensical weirdness, but an explanation would be nice...as would be a closing sequel to finish the damn story. -_- tycho: Is Gleylancer any good? |

I don't think GleyLancer is that great. I dislike 1-hit you die games. They annoy me |

30 Euro shipping included for these two:   Getting more and more into Mega Drive, but I should probably take it easy  |

The Mega Drive is a great system and one that I would like to get more into, but I'm going to be good... for now |

Soleil is a great Zelda-clone. And if you are going after variations later, it also comes with German ingame text! I know this from experience buying what I though was the English version  |

My last package came in today, so here's everything thus far:  Don't ever buy that version of After Burner. It's terrible.   I don't know if there are any Dr. Who fans on here, but I recently started watching it & I'm hooked. I got this:  5" RC Dalek! ;D |

I keep thinking about moving on to Famicom collecting after I finish up the MD set, time will tell Bit of SC-3000H action: Nice, and something else that is on the edge of my future collection possibilities radar at the moment! I've only ever played on one once at the sega8bit meet a few years back and was extremely impressed with Zaxxon, in fact I could have played it all day |
