There were two Game Gear games but I remember liking them more than the Genesis game, too.

Always bet on DBZ.

Word.

R-Gear from Taito, the original 2D RayForce sequel done on Taito F3. Even as good as RayStorm is, I'd gladly have given it up for this.


I hope some Taito staffer has this squirreled away somewhere with plans to release it for dumping at a later time. Please let it be so.

Go have a drink down at Ray-Ray's Corn Liquor Shed.

I like the buildings in that a lot. Good sense of depth.

Yeah, that's a great pick. Layer Section was the jam, could never get into the 3D sequels.

I wish there was a better Batman arcade game that played as well as the NES Batman.

I AM BATMAN.

BE CAREFUL.

Of all places, I got to play the Batman arcade game at a kids gymnastics center.

Got to get TGM4 in here. Apparently, the slew of fanmade clones did lead to its cancellation. Arika could have deterred that with an official $50 compilation of TGM 1/2/2+/3 to PC/PS2 etc. though. It's been said that clone players would gladly pay for the real TGM, but Mihara has been derisive of such comments.

There would've been a TGM 1 port on the original PS, but that was killed by some stupid "One Tetris game per system" rule imposed by The Tetris Company. Why the hell couldn't they have granted an exception for ports of arcade titles? TGM2+ for PS2 was complete but got axed.


I would've liked to see Master mode get a Syd Mead style cyberspace theme, especially after the space backgrounds in TGM 3 and Ace. The theme shown here is fine for the Konoha (easy) mode OTOH. LOL at the fox character keeling over laughing at 3:57.

How do you get any crazier than TGM 3 Shirase, though? That gets to over 200 pieces a minute.


The TGM 3 Sakura mode music was likely placeholder, with Aya & Megaten standing by to do new BGM if Arika were to continue with TGM4.

Was there ever a Capcom/Konami/Sega GI JOE arcade game? It seems like there should have been, but I don't remember one.
