Yeah this DDP definitely has huge scoring possibilities, the guys on the Cave BBS were saying that if you could get through the second loop we’re ten billion or so.

I dig your avatar. I think the art for the game looks really good so far.
I’m really glad the DS is region free right now
she’s crushing your ship too!

anybody who wants to see vid of DDP DFK in action PM me
Oh that reminds me, for those that don’t know, Bangai-o Spirits, a sequel to Bangai-o is coming out on the DS in the US in a couple of months. It’s 1-4 player with a map editor too =)
Which video do you have? I have the 1-1 through 1-3 that was on Cave-STG.
That’s all yup.
New Touhou demo is up, game coming soon:
Looks cool. I’m still not good enough at shmups to understand all the nuances though so as long as it’s pretty and fun I’ll play it.
OH. SNAP!! 
It may be time to finally star importing!
I’m gonna end up getting a job soon just to get my hands on these. Good work my fellow shooters. :tup:

finally got my hands on castle shikigami 2. well, the bullet barrage is at least decent I guess. nice round-up of characters too. the powers aren’t too bad, but I wish the fuckfaces they made into bosses had more…well, power. I mean, I can easily stay in their faces until their life bar runs down which means that with the bullet reversal cat chick, this game becomes a cake walk.I haven’t beaten expert yet, so I’m hoping that there will be more when I do.
I think I can go ahead and recommend this one to the masses though. it’s not bad and the music is pretty damn good. if you find it, go get it.

how do I beat that damn tetris boss? I hate it so much.
I FINALLY decided to play Mars Matrix (DC version)…it made me want to play Giga Wing instead. its a great game and I really like it but the bullet reflection thing doesnt feel like it packs enough “oomph” and the recharge takes FOREEEEEVVVVERRRRRR. I can get to the third level without continues but after that it gets overwhelming. Id like this game a lot more if the reflect thing was a bit faster.

Anyone here played Rayforce? A classic taito shooter with a twist. You could target and shoot incoming enemies from above as they launched from below, before they could reach the top and attack. Also there were some targets you could only hit with the lock-on.
It had two 3D sequels, Raystorm & Raycrisis, but the first(2D) was pretty good.
I first played it a while back on the ol’Sega saturn days, Saturn port was called galactic Attack(some legal stuff i guess resulted in that name). It was also known as Gunlock & layer section depending on where it was released.
Got it again on the PS2 Taito memories joukan disc. Good stuff!
I play rayforce on mame occasionally, good game.
I remember way back when i first bought it at a Toys’r’Us around 1997. I noticed it due to being clearance priced(Sega Saturn), it was cheap so i got it. Became one of my favorite 2D shooters!
The 3D sequels were also pretty cool. RayStorm i have on my Taito Legends 2 disc, and i have Raycrisis for the ol’PSOne.
I dunno I’ve never really heard great things about raystorm. Haven’t played it myself but the weird viewpoint certainly doesn’t entice me. Plus the move to 3D looks worse than the awesoem 2D they did in rayforce.
not sure which one you’re talking about with tetris boss, but if you mean that guy that comes down in three pieces, then joins all three pieces together for the final piece, he’s a bitch. I pretty much just stuck the super (hold down the square button) in his face until he croaked. my friend, who doesn’t even LIKE that kind of game, just stayed at the bottom of the screen and went all oldschool on it with the bombs.
as far as mars matrix, we had a discusion on it earlier in the thread too. instead of holding down the buzzsaw until the meter drains, we would also tap the button to get us out of trouble. the meter refills quicker since you didn’t use all of it and you can use the enemy’s own bullets to your advantage. I probably wouldn’t use the whole meter on anything other than a boss personally.
