A store near me has Outrun 3D but it has a $100 price tag. That's apparently the going rate now for a CIB version but that's definitely too high for me. At least Battle Outrun's still cheap. It's pretty good although it's more of a Chase HQ clone than an Outrun game.

Just beat R-Type on the SMS. It's a surprisingly decent port. The sprites are overall much smaller, making it look more like a Gradius game than R-Type. It also affects their hit boxes and makes groups of enemies a bit harder to hit than usual. It also didn't feel like I could shoot as quickly as I would've liked. Flickering is out of control in some parts. The levels and bosses are reproduced faithfully enough to provide the same feeling as the arcade game. It's obviously been outclassed many times over the years, but for its time I'd think this was pretty good.

Did you go to the exclusive level?

If only you could play the TG16 version.

haha, I wanted to start with the worst and work my way up once I'd memorized the levels.

I had the tg version first, but I stil like the sms game.

I remember playing the SMS version with friends, and one guy would sit in front of the machine, tapping the pause button so we would have a kind of slo-mo to get through the stages. We were almost at the end and the dumbass hit the reset button by mistake.
