You don't need all the shmups, I would recommend DDP DoJ and ESPGaluda though - they're both cracking ports. Ibara + Mushi are expensive and not really worth it due to poor ports imo.

Started up Resident Evil 2 on the Dreamcast last night and I have to say just how frightening the game is. Not because of the crude graphics or sounds but because of the real threat that you could pretty much die at any time due to a lack of ammo/health and that you havent been able to save in a looong time. This threat just doesn't exist in most modern games were your position is saved every other minute. Can't wait to get back to it tonight.

Alpine Racer 3 on my new PS2 and it's an absolutely cracking blast . Bright, brash Namco arcade action with slick music, menus and a rock solid, fast 3D engine. Was worried it wouldn't hold up without the cool arcade boards and skis hardware but still plenty of depth to it on the console. It's nice fast paced racing with a high degree of turning preparation in advance but also scoring benefits/penalties for jumps, tricks and crashes.

Made a fair bit of progress in Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Collected the grappling hook, hammer and the magic cape, since I last posted and am on my way to the Skull dungeon. Starting to get a little more difficult and this particular dungeon/temple is absolutely massive! at this point I'm of the opinion Ocarina of Time is the better game, but can see the merits of A Link to the Past.

Been playing some Megaman on Megaman Anniversary Collection for the GC.
I don't like that A is fire and B is jump - Atomic Planet really messed up there. However, as I've never played Megaman before, it doesn't bother me as it might to other Megaman veterans, as I just treat it like getting used to controls of other new games. One question I have is whether the NES versions of the games had an autofire command? These games have it allocated to the Y button of the controller, but obviously the NES only had 2 face buttons. I ask because it makes the games a lot easier, and I want to play the games as authentically as possible to how they were on the NES.

The skull dungeon was one of two points that made me leave the game for a long time through not knowing what to do (no internet back then). I think I'd forgotten that there is more than one entrance to the dungeon.
