And this is where opinions come into play, as I feel that Alien Soldier whoops Metal Slug 3, but I prefer fast frentic action over slower paced action (is "slow action" an oxymoron?).

I've played PLENTY of Slug 3, as a friend owns it...

What I don't know is: Do I need a converter?!?!? :lol:

By the way Mech, Rakugaki is a really fun game. The art is just great.

Yes, the art in Rakugaki is incredible, I love so much of the designs! Unfortunately, it's one of only a few Treasure games I haven't played, because of its high asking price coupled with no chance at trying it in emulation means I simply haven't tried it yet. But I will... hopefully soon.

I remember you saying that in my eBay wackyness thread, and just wanted to give you another heads-up on it. :)

I use a converter cart called the "Super Mega Key". It lets you play games from all regions. You can find it at www.videogamedepot.com from time-to-time. I brought it a while back and it was $50, but you should be able to find it now for around $35. Works perfectly.

The best boss by far is the girl who keeps transforming. Damn that was hard! So much better than Green during stage 2 of Gunstar Heroes. I love the speed in Alien Soldier, which is something sorely lacking from Gunstar Heroes (very sluggish IMO) and the boss design pisses on GH and C:HC. I even love the music from the first few levels, it really captures the mood of a fast paced shooting game.

Buy a convertor or a Japanese MD to run the game. Only the really old Mega Drive games don't require one generally.

Hey Sidez, I guess nows a good time to tell you how much ass your avatar kicks! :D

How would you have felt about a sequel to Alien Soldier ( in 2-D ) on Dreamcast?
