Drac X - best version for sure (extra bits over the ps one), sf2 - fabulous, sfa2' is amazing. Good way to start the saturn for sure.

Recent crap for me. Green triangle sf gaiden to go with my red triangle one, gaiden 2 (got hayja also). The pro striker is the complete recall version as opposed to the mixed rereleased one, and the neo love is truly back. Cyberlip (carton) very fun game, a poor man's contra admitedly but still great, breakers, wowee, and twinkle star sprites.

woo twinkle star sprites in there =D

[wheelaa]

mvs only, but hey. I'll get ngh one day. Stunning fun (my mate keeps on winning though) but I don't like the slowdown.

I had to go the the walk in centre to see a doctor, as I had strained my groin (!) and ended up with a spasm in my bladder (!!) which basically meant that for several hours I felt as though I needed to piss all of the time (!!!). Was up the centre for three hours, had to test my urine to check I didn't have a urinary infection (thank **** I didn't) and now looks like I may have to take a day off work tomorrow as I have been prescribed bedrest.

Thats a nightmare, relaly sorry to hear about that and i hope you feel better soon. My arms ache and my shoulder feels pretty weird but it was all worth it. 8)

my first evenings venture into PC Engine games buying ended up with me purchasing the following from ebay:
Ninja Spirit
Vigilante
Ninja Warriors
New Zealand Story
SHINOBI
SCI
Street Fighter II
R-TYPE II

that little lot for ?61

and my pal is selling me Splatterhouse - thanks

think thats me got everything i need

[dj898]

Splatterhouse is the must.
I have one but lost the case years ago and been hunting for complete one for around 1000 yen last two years now...

Other titles aren't too bad though none stood out as outstanding apart from New Zealand Story - I just love the game...

R-TYPE II

Are you aware that R-TYPE is spread over 2 seperate HUCards on the Engine? The "R-TYPE II" you're getting isn't the sequel, but instead it's levels 5-8 of the original game. You need to get the "R-TYPE I" HUCard for the first 4 levels.

if course they are outstanding - thats why i bought them

how can shinobi not be outstanding

@ John - naw i didnt know that pal - oh well another game for me to buy

[Kaladron]

Ninja Spirit is beautiful. Easily one fo the best Ninja games of all time.

buster_broon - make sure you get Gunhed; I never tire of that game

heh, how crazy

[dj898]

or get CD version that contains all levels..

[MrHotDog]

here's one I picked up today at news agency on my way back from work...

Where could I get a subscription for this, is there a web site?

[Mayhem]

Could be a bit tricky now as Live Publishing are in administration...

[dj898]

I will see whether I can get some more if there's interest...
I've noticed they are bundling two Retro Gamer magazines for the price of one and probably some of those contain this issue as well?
