Wow, more crap. I'm bored and I would actually buy something if it didnt suck total nuts.

Double Dribble is awesome. 34 3pointers in a row is still my all time high.

Double Dribble was my all time favorite game. I didnt count how many I can get in a row but boy does it bring back memories.

Might be in the minority but I'm a fan of Dynastic Hero, it's Basically WonderBoy Genesis with less vivid graphics but a great soundtrack and cute character redesigns. *-neo

The music may be of better sound quality, due to the game having been released on CD, but I think the Genesis soundtrack is better in terms of actual composition. They're catchier and just livelier.

Has anyone seen a PS1 game recently? They haven't aged well.

not all of them have, and they play and look fine on the PSPs screen. Most games looking better then DS games.

I have SOTN on my PSP, love it.

edit: i thought this was the psp thread, how mistaken i was.

No clue on the actual team. Apparently Air Zonk runs on the Coryoon engine so maybe Hudson just acquired the engine and original developers are not involved. There was a thread on the Shmups board a few months back, I'll have to check it out.

The Air Zonk team (+/- some people) also worked on 1943 Kai, W Ring: The Double Rings, Alzadick, Coryoon (all PCE), and Spike McFang (SNES). May have been some internal Naxat team. I don't know.

Super Air Zonk was by Dual.

Another interesting PCE rumor I read in Retro Gamer is Nintendo headhunted the team at UPL that made Gomola Speed and Atomic Robo Kid. Good taste on the N's part if true. *-neo

Some of the people who worked on Atomic Robo-Kid went on to form Scarab.

The Dynastic Hero Turbo Duo

As usual, you're an idiot if can play PS2 imports and you get Dynastic Hero instead of this
Unless you really, really want to own every version of every WB game and don't feel like paying the $400 or so that the TGCD costs.

Thanks for clearing that up. Never heard of Scarab, have they made anything special? *-neo

<spam>I've got a more complete list and history on my site</spam>, but the most notable of Scarab's games are the cheesy digitized fighters Survival Arts (Arcade) and Battle Monsters (Saturn), the Zen Nihon Pro Wres series (Saturn/Arcade/Dreamcast), Fighting Vipers 2 (Dreamcast), and Dyna Gear (Arcade - worth checking out).
