Package Time #53

Here's what I've picked up recently. It's a pretty good mix of stuff with an emphasis on shooters.

ill never understand why konami changed there logo...i hate that red bar they use now.

[BossBossly]

@str8kracker Word. The old logo was awesome as was the splash screen/jingle. The new logo, meh.

That's another cool haul boss! Top quality shooters, dead moon and override are lesser known gems. Next 2 Saturn reviews of mine will be chatting and sexy.....Parodies (!!!) I mean Parodius. They def got better over time, power ups generally got sorted and difficulty curve was sorted.

@futurematt5 Thanks Matt! Yeah, Dead Moon and Override don't get much hype but are solid games. You know I've always been a fan of the Gradius/Parodius/Salamander series's but I know up until recently anyway that you didn't care for them all that much, will be interesting to see what kind of scores you give them. I still think the have a high level of difficulty especially in later levels when you die at or right before a boss and lose you power ups.

why do u go for japanese games over english verison when alos tthose genesis games u showed are in english

[BossBossly]

@zelpherm Well 9 times out of 10 the Japanese inserts are more appealing(to me at least), a lot of the manuals are color and some of the games have differences or are uncensored. I also have a good collection of Genesis games from back in the day before I started collecting imports.

Classy scores as always dude, Fire Mustang is pretty difficult to get heh!..which i found pretty suprising awhile back. Your Jp 360 shmup library must be looking pretty cool now i guess too. You probably know of this book but i'll mention it anyway, "SEGA VIDEO GAME ILLUSTRATIONS", released around '94/'95 i think. You'll adore this mate being a huge fan of Japanese VG artwork, it's an amazing insight on all those classic JP MD/GG releases.
