Retro Core Information

[SuperBeatBoy]

Yakumo did you ever get or play deadly skies on the dreamcast, couldn't find any information on your website, unless its named differently in japan. i picked it up the other day, its absolutly hideous. it looks like its an n64 port, although looking alot worse. jesus, its nasty. dont know if the gameplay is bad, i couldn't get past the horrible visuals. i think i got ripped off, gamestation sold it to me for a tenner!

[Yakumo]

It's called Airforce Delta in Japan. It's not that bad to be honest. I liked it when it first came out but yeah, it is wank for a DC game. Bloody Konami !

The music during the Shutoko Battle sounded an awful lot like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2 . Just curious, but what's the music like in Shutoko Battle?

the powers of CD audio editing The real music in Shutoko Battle is crap. There's only one decent tune in it. So I made a CDR copy of my original and replaced all the audio track with ones from Maximum Tune 2.

If you watch the FF7 advert in this months always awesome retrocore it's almost identical to the adverts Microsoft have shown for Blue Dragon for 360. Designers hanging over workstations.

Cheeky bastards...

nice one, btw that Crossed Swords II was a Neo Geo CD exclusive

[Klatrymadon]

Good stuff, as usual. You've covered EAR in some depth before, though! :P

Ah, that would explain why I'Ve never heard the none CD version's OST then

Good stuff, as usual. You've covered EAR in some depth before, though! :P

Yeah, that was on the Saturn Shooting Special so I decided to add it to the normal show.

Would be intrested in seeing the DC version of gun valkirie

Considering the almost finger breaking controls of the xbox version i would have liked to see how they would have done it

[BlueNocturne]

Excellent episode. Recognized the Panzer Drgaoon music in the Gun Valkyrie part. It looked very impressive on Dreamcast.. I wonder why Smilebit chose to hold it off for the Xbox. The Xbox controls did offer some depth, I thought. Unfortunately, when I had originally played it, I was using the awful, original American Xbox controller which was much larger than the S controller.

Looking good.

I best get my skates on and finish watching 22.


P.S> Yakumo, I'm not sure if I've asked this before but do you offer a subscription service? IE: Pay a one-off fee and get the DVD delivered every month.

Yes, I do but have never made it public for some reason. I should put it up on my site. I have a few people who paid just one off payments for a DVD to be sent out every month for 6 months (I don't really want to do a yearly subscription). The cost is 40 pounds (2 DVDs for free). The DVDs are sent about 2 weeks before the download is available so you should receive the DVD 1 week before anyone else sees the download version. DVDs are region free as well.
