'After Burner Climax' To Be Removed From Sale On Christmas Eve

[JU!]

I thought you were still supposed to be able to download them even if they were removed? Apart from Outrun, iirc.

You cannot Re Download Out Run PSN if it deletes off my HDD for some reason!!! Even though I paid for it and it's in my D/L list please tell me that's a joke?

Well, another fab thing about OutRun is that you can play equally ace, easily-available versions on the OG XBox and PS2, whereas Climax seems likely to vanish indefinitely into the digital ether, I always find stuff like that saddening.

I always wanted XBLA Double Dragon but I was too late to the party.

I have the PSP OutRun, always wanted the Japanese PS2 one never seen it in Japan though. I did have XBox version until God rid of the X-Box.

Tragic mishandling of all that hard work. And for what? Licencing and digital distribution issues? What a waste.

This stuff is ridiculous especially with Ferrai F355, Crazy Taxi and worst MVC3: Ultimate

Yup. Piznisses me off. To go all tangential, back in the mid-noughties my bro used to take the pizniss out of my 6000+ strong CD collection, saying it was 'backwards' and how much more 'progressive' it was to sell all your physical music and keep everything on hard drives. Few years later, his main music HDD completely fanucked up, he lost ALL his ish, even demo stuff he'd made himself.

He came over at Xmas, stared at my music, and said "look at all that money". And I smiled n said back "and all in .WAV files, y'cun*".

There's a moral to this story somewhere, lol.

It only happens with all of the titles that are removed from the shop. Also, I can't find them on the console storefront, the only way I can find a download link is via. 'account management > download history' on xbox.com.

I've had this before and deleting the duff download and starting again has fixed it.

I've tried about four times, over three years, on two different consoles.

While AB Climax discussion is going on, does anyone know the criteria for getting 'Excellent' ratings on the special missions?

I've cleared all but four of the in-game challenges but one that massively eludes me is getting the above rating on 6 missions. By my reckoning:

1) Shoot down the prototype jet. (No idea, it's probably not speed, maybe shoot it down with gunfire?)
2) Shoot down the B-2A spirit. (No idea, but probably shoot it down while still in the canyon?)
3a) Take out the Red IFF fighters. (I don't take this route but I'd guess it's shoot down 10/8 or something)
3b) Take out the enemy choppers. (The only one I can do! Shoot down 13/10)
4) Avoid the searchlights. (Must be speed, or possibly destroying every light which seems impossible)
5) Shoot down the 2nd prototype. (See number 1, I have no idea)
6) Shoot down the cruise missiles. (I would guess you have to do it in the first extra stage, but i think it automatically goes to the second once you destroy two so I dunno.)

There is very little information on this game out there, most people never gave it more than a quick blast to get the trophies or whatever.

Gotta be honest - I'm playing 3D After Burner II on my 3DS more than Climax on my PS3 at the moment, especially given that Special Mode on it is basically After Burner II with the Climax Gauge (called "Burst").

Been awhile since I played it, but managed to get most of the in-game medals which are much much hard than the achievements.

Most of them were speed as I recall, but you have to be really really quick boosting a lot. Accuracy plays it part as well, looking at youtube I see what you mean, there aren't any videos for getting the best rank on each mission.
