DUDES -- I got FAST STRIKER, the newest dreamcast game and it's BADASS. In the top 5 games for the system. Get this game asap -- well, it's OOP, I read somewhere the company made well over a million dollars profit, which explains why they're making a new game already called GUN LORD!:
http://gun-lord.com/ Yep! From what I can tell, this looks like a badass Turrican/Contra/Gunstar Heroes game... for the Dreamcast! NG.DEV:TEAM continues to fucking rule. Keep putting out awesome NEW Dreamcast games, boys! But yeah, Fast Striker is blowing me away right now. To think, the best new game around is a fucking new Dreamcast game. ![]() ![]() ![]() tHUMBS UP. |

My top 3... 1. Super Nintendo 2. Dreamcast 3. Wii The coolest thing about the Wii is that it plays all my Gamecube games. So it's like a Gamecube, but with the Wii library, Netflix, and the Wiiware/Virtual Console. Plus I can check the weather on it, and any system I can play both Killer 7 and Super Metroid on is a fine one, indeed. Video game technology is getting really interesting lately. I remember when the Wii first came out and many brushed off the motion-control as a gimmick. The industry legitimately had a Nintendo Revolution... and if you're nerdy enough to get that joke, shame on you. But now we have the Kinect, and the 3DS is coming out soon. With all this motion control and 3D technology swarming about... I sense a very primitive virtual reality (Virtual Boy lulz) coming forth. Nintendo will probably be the ones to drop the ball, given their unarguably creative approach to the industry these days. How is playing games on the Kinect? I can imagine that being pretty restrictive for designers. At least on the Wii, and PS3 Move you have a controller you can put inside a steering wheel, gun, etc. Hmmmm.... |

^ woah. what game is that?
|
Oh yeah! I finally beat Streets of Rage 3
Fuck yeah. I cheated at first by playing Easy mode...but the games cuts you off like 2 levels before and tells you to try harder...so I went back to Normal difficulty and I beat it. I kind of cheated cause I switched to Player 2 after my continues finished. I also think there are multiple endings...if you save the mayor or not. I actually got the good ending yesterday too! I saved the fucking mayor. fuck yeah. |

That's Cosmic Smash. Aside from Resident Evil: Code Vernoica, and Chu Chu Rocket - I'm pretty sure it's my favorite Dreamcast game ever. It's like a mixture of Virtua Tennis, Rez, and Arkanoid/Break Out (whatever you prefer to call it). Here's the best vid I could find : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7TKr-i4xEs |
![]() Gungrave Overdose is a title that I have sorely missed since selling my original PS2. It is the action-packed sequel to SEGA's critically-panned Gungrave (PS2). There's also an anime series, which may be the source material, or based off of the games - I'm not sure. Either way, I have a lot to say about this one. This game is pure and simple, balls-to-the-wall FUN. It's a blazingly fast-paced, stylistic, arcade-style third-person shooter where everything in your environment is fully destructible, and your ammo is unlimited. You play as Grave, an undead gunslinger who sports a mysterious steel coffin chained to his shoulders (which is used as a melee weapon, a shield, and a rocket launcher-type deal for special attacks). ![]() Along with Grave, there are 2 other playable characters, Rocketbilly Redcadillac, who fights with an electric guitar with which he shoots jolts of lightning from, and flaming, masked swordsman, Juji Kabane. Each level starts off with an order to "KICK THEIR ASS!!" and you are instantly thrown into the fray. From there you travel from area, to area, clearing out all (or most) baddies until you are able to reach the next. It's like an old-school beat 'em up, in that sense. You'll be gunning down villains non-stop in lobbies, meat lockers, rooftops, and just about anywhere else you could ever want to unload multiple full clips... and that's just the first few levels! ![]() ![]() Land enough shots in a row, and you'll start gathering beats which are stored and used to unearth massively damaging special attacks. These work especially great against the numerous bosses that you will encounter along your journey. In-between the action are often beautifully animated cut-scenes, and RPG-like dialogues between partially animated character avatars that progress the game's story of ridding the streets of a deadly drug called Seed. The only real flaw of the game that I can think of is that the camera can sometimes be an absolute menace, especially in more confined areas, which can cause an infuriating amount of unwarranted damage from your opponents. This is rare enough though, and definitely doesn't do much to dampen the wild arcade experience that is Gungrave Overdose. For an obscure budget-title on a last gen console, this is one game that surely should not be missed. |
Been playing Street Fighter 3 a lot lately via Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. Go Dudley, go!
Started a new game of Mega Man 8 last night. Astro Man is the only boss I have left. I hate playing that fucker's stage. ~Jeremy~ |
^ SF3 is awesome. It has the BEST Ken ever.
|
^ Mega Man 8 is probably my favorite Mega Man game (and I've beaten every single one of 'em). STREET FIGHTER 3 is rules -- underrated as hell; the gameplay is topnotch, may be the best pure fighter ever, next to Guilty Gear X. I always play as IBUKI.
You know how you said certain games wouldn't work when oyu burnt them for the DReamcast, Joe? I had this problem too. Until I downloaded IMGBURN (newest version; it's about 700kb) and went here: http://www.epforums.org/showthread.p...DiscJuggler%29 on page 2, you can download this .dll files. It's about 10kb, seriously. All you have to do from there is unpack the .rar or .zip or whatever in the ImgBurn main folder. So, c:\program files\imgburn or whatever is where you put the .dll files. This will allow you to burn EVERYTHING... every format you've EVER seen Dreamcst games in, from .cdi to .bin/cue to .nrg to .img to.. ANYTHING. There are some DreamCAst games I could never get to burn, such as... ![]() IRIDE: MASTER OF BLOCKS (a BADASS Lumines clone; it's like Lumines with a few extra features.. if a person doesn't own a PSP or have XBOX live or want to spend the $20 for Lumines Fusion on the PS2 -- though, in all reality, it's the best game ever made possibly -- get this game asap), and... ![]() VIRTUAL ON (DreamCast version), and... ![]() CASTLE SHIKIGAMI 2 (I've had this game for years for my ps2, but the release was REALLY watered down and crappy, so I ended up giving it, Raiden III, Gradius III/IV, and Silpheed: Lost Planet away, FOR FREE, to my friend Booe a few months ago, in exchange for something that alters your mind... don't worry, y'all, as far as PS2 shooters go, I still have all the best ones.. Thunderforce VI, Homura, Ibara, R-Type Final, Gradius V, the Taito Legends 2 collection which has G-Darius, Gun Frontier, Darius Gaiden, and RayStorm), Capcom Classics 1/2 (1941, 1942, 1943, Legendary Wings, Section Z, Eco Fighters, Side Arms Hyper Dyne, etc), ESPgaluda, plus I have about 50 PS1 shmups that I play on the PS2... that, combined with the 24 DC shmups (not to mention the discs I have with every NeoGeo/Genesis/SNES/NES/GB and tons of arcade shmups, making it about 120 or more DC shmups) means I probably have about 300 shmups. It's the only genre I really give a fuck about honestly.) ...you'll be able to play these games, and more (I remember you saying you had problems burning BANGAI-O, IKARUGA, and MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2, right?) on your DC now, Joe. To be honest, after many many months, and after playing tons of DC games (I've been keeping up with all the new releases.. Fast Strikers, Feet of Fury, Rush Ralley Racing, and Wind & Water Battles... all games that have come out in the past year.. don't forget the AMAZING-looking Gunlord and SturmWind coming out this year.. plus, the company who did Iride and Rush Ralley have announced 10 -- TEN!!!!!!! -- more DC games for the next year. Holy fuck!), I think I can make a definitive top 30 DC games list now. Cough. 1. D2 2. Ikaruga 3. Rez 4. Guilty Gear X 5. Capcom vs SNK 2 6. Psyvarius 2 7. Street Fighter III 8. Skies of Arcadia 9. Puzzle Fighter II Turbo 10. Shenmue 11. Marvel vs Capcom 2 12. Record of Lodoss War 13. DarkStalkers Ultimate 14. Under Defeat 15. Jet GRind Radio 16. Last Hope 17. Radio Allergy 18. Napple Tale 19. Grandia II 20. Tokyo Bus Guide 21. Mars Matrix 22. Cannon Spike 23. Space Channel 5 part 2 24. Bomber Heheh 25. Cosmic Smash 26. Fast Strikers 27. Iride: Master of Blocks 28. Border Down 29. Chaos Field 30. Maken X ..I see lots of people wanting a Dreamcast, so I think the above is a good list. Anyway, besides the games I can finally play thanks to IMGBURN, I have been playing this gem: ![]() Insmouse No Yakata This game is a first person shooter for the VirtualBoy and is one of maybe 3 games that are actually kinda enjoyable for the system.. Screens in next post.. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Definitely the most badass virtual boy game ever. It has a really cool atmosphere. I enjoy it/reccomend it. Just found this and laughed: ![]() SIXTEEN IN ONE SHOOTER COLLECTION! Hahah. I'm sure that's legit. |
Rad Dad Redamntion.
ps: I thnk you can currently get Dreamcast games from Steam, but who in their right mind would want to play games for a dead system? might as well take up Latin while yr at it. Winnie Widdie Wussy. |

It's Cosmic Smash. Definitely worth downloading, it's like 50mb or something. It's basically a "tennis" game where you smash blocks with your tennis ball. It looks exactly like Rez, doesn't it? Cool look and atmosphere and fun -- almost ridiculous how fun it is when you consider how simple and easy it is. My top 10 systems ever: 1. Dreamcast (just such a fun system, so cool in every way, I just love it to pieces, from the atmospheric genuinely disturbing D2 to about 20 shmups that blow my mind.. this system was made for me) 2. PS1 (about 20 RPG's on this system that I love, about 20 shmups that I love, about 20 platformers that I love; this system has more games than any system ever made, and it has more GREAT games than any system ever made.. every week, people are still digging up weird/obscure/awesome games for it that no one has ever heard of before, that just blow my mind. I have about 300 games for this system, I just love it to death.) 3. Nintendo DS (if you want to talk about unique, high-quality gaming, nothing comes close to the DS) 4. Genesis (so many awesome games with awesome soundtracks, and the grphics were always awesome... almost all he games for this system are fast as hell... a very hardcore system) 5. SNES (some of the coolest rpg's ever) 6. NES (I mean, seriously: it's the NES!) 7. Sega Saturn (it's just too bad 90% of the best games came out in Japan... but, yeah, Princess Crown, Dragoon Saga, Radiant Silvergun, etc are just mindblowing) 8. PS2 (holy shit what a system. DRAGON QUEST VIII.. I've put 100 hours into that fucker! KATAMARI... ICO... and ports of games like REz... another system I own a good 100 games for and I'm still discovering badass games for it. So many fucking awesome rpg's, like SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI NOCTURNE, ODIN SPHERE, and TALES OF THE ABYSS. What a system!) 9. XBOX360 (this generation doesn't impress me much, but the 360 keeps getting badas shmups like DEATHSMILES.. so I can't complain. I mean, I'm someone who think the original xbox is one of the worst systems of all time, and I HATE First Person Shooters, which this system is known for.. yet almost all the high quality next gen games came out for the 360 a few years back... THOUGH with games like Heavy Rain and Last Guardian, it seems like the PS3, although a bit late, is looking pretty fucking awesome. I'm thinking of getting a PS3 with my tax money... hey, at least I can finally get Disgaea 3!) 10. Neo-Geo (they're STILL making high quality games for this thing. ) As for Streets of Rage 3, that's a cool game, def. my fav of the series -- I highly reccomend Bare Knuckle 3, it's NORMAL MODE is easier than the EASY MODE in the American version. I never knew why they made the game so brutal in America (seriously; I can beat SOR2 on MANIAC mode -- where normal villians have STAR LIFEBARS -- without losing a life, even on level 7's elevator; on SoR3, I have a difficult time beating the game without using at least one continue, even on EASY!). I mean, 10 hits from a regular chacter in SoR3 kills you. Kinda silly. I LOVE being able to play as Shiva in both versions. The music is probably my favorite soundtrack ever, next to Super Metroid and Contra Hard Corps. Great fuckin game. |

I'll look into IMG Burn, there are plenty of titles I've been depressed that I couldn't get to burn right. Mostly fighting games. I just woke up and am too stupid-tired at the moment to do anything about it. It's funny that you listed D2 as your absolute favorite DC title, and I said Code Veronica. Seeing how similar they are... and stuff. That's funny, right?
Anyhow, I've heard D2 was hard to burn properly because of all the cut scenes. I know my Code Veronica often clips out the last few words of each character's dialogue per cut scene. You own a legit copy don't you, or did you find a good rip? Because I really wanna play it. You and I both have the exact same favorite top 2 games of all time (Killer7, Super Metroid) so I always trust your taste as far as games (and movies, and music....fuck you cooley) are concerned. But oh yeah... a few last things: I'm also very glad to see Mars Matrix on your list. That game is bonkers hahaha. So fucking hard. mAlso, I've been thinking about getting a Virtual Boy soon. I've decided not to jump on the 3DS immediately, as insanely cool as it looks, I need a job first - ha! A VB is a much cheaper, equally intriguing (to me), more nerd-point-worthy substitute. Okay shoot me. I'm going back to sleep. |
I think I'm gonna burn Cannon Spike today! :D
|
imgburn works flawlessly for GCN, PS1 and PS2. I can tell you thta much.
|
I might try my hand at burning some PS1/PS2 games. I have much more DVD-Rs than CD-Rs at the moment. I'm just fearful of messing with my PS2's disc drive to get 'em to work. Lord knows, I dont wanna have to go out and buy a 4th PS2.... fuck.
|
I have a slim ps2. Lookup tissue/tape mod on youtube. Such a simple way to get PS1 imports and burns running.
|
![]() Still playing plenty of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 with my Chun-Li fightstick. I preordered Crysis 2, so hopefully it's pretty sweet. |
I'm trying (at least) to get thru Streets Of Rage, without losing a life but can't even beat the second boss without losing a life. He's a real bitch, the guy with the claws.

Oh, ps1 games are easy. With nero. Just burn a data disc.. burn an .img file, or if it's .bin/.cue, burn the .cue. The .cue just tells the .bin what to do, so if you can't get it to work, open the .cue as a notepad file and make sure it has the .bin file with the EXACT name copied. PS2 games are easy to burn but you need a modded ps2.. it's not really worth it honestly. PS1 games, obviously, you can just use the swap trick which is super easy. |
joe:
Yeah man you can't find a D2 "rip" that is proper, because they always lower the quality of the voices big time or they cut out cut scenes. Fuck that. This is a game worth buying -- it is one of 3 DreamCast games I own real copies of, the rest are burns (the other "real" games BANGAI-O and IKARUGA -- I'm a Treasure fanatic). I paid $24 for a 4 disc game. Totally worth it. I'd say, atmospherically, it's the best game ever made... and I'd say, the story is bout as big a mindfuck as Killer7, maybe moreso.. there's tentacle rape and lots of violence... it's genuinely disturbing... you won't believe it.. I don't want to ruin it, but some of the characters..... man.... let's just say, there's a gigantic robot vagina that attacks you at one point who screams "KILL MEEEEEEEEE" over and over and when she screams it, it's 100x louder than the sounds in the rst of the game.. most of the music is dark as hell atmospheric sounds.. amazing game. |
holy shit, Milestone Shooting Collection 2 is coming out for the wii!
while it has quite a few dreamcast ports, Illvelo is coming home for the first time ever! ![]() ![]() ![]() mmmm! |
about time. Illvelo was announced as a standalone Wii release so long ago and just never materialized.
Adam, do you have a link to that ps2 shmup bootleg you posted about? |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Not being a gamer on any serious level (the last system I owned was a psp, if that says anything), I never really participate in this thread...but recently I've taken to hanging out with this guy that's moved into my building. We get drunk and play Manhunt on ps2 and I'm really enjoying it. Old yeah, but creepy as all fuck.

Mass Effect 2 won the BAFTA for best game at this years awards. A worthy winner.
