Whoever disliked this is mad he can't beat R-Type :)

Galaga is 100 times funner to play than Xevious.

Turbo Force (Video system)

@Soukyugurentai Literally, the one who disliked the vid prefers Modern Warfare 2 over R-Type.

Interesting that none of those Space Invaders machines had the strips of tape that "coloured" the aliens. I figured at least SOME people would be interested in authenticity (what with the whole "having original marquee" part)...

And wow, Electric Light Orchestra's Time; a song with special meaning to the 80s otaku that remember how the fledgling Gainax did vinyl animation on 8mm film for DAICON IV. Good pick. :)
