      There's a lot of really great choices here. 'Transplant' is one that I'm definitely gonna have to check out for it's co-op. I've played quite a few of the others, but this whole thread is worthy of a complete play-through some night.

          @clyde there are some interesting gameplay differences between the Japanese and US versions too. Apparently they had to do some minor censoring before it was Americanized. :)

              Yeah, I read about that after even more research yesterday. :) (I get hooked sometimes.)

              Seems like a fun game, I'll try it when I get the chance.

                    I believe it runs at full frame rate, but last I tried, there was an emulation issue to where you couldn't control the ship for the first 20 seconds or so of the game. However, another issue canceled it out, as no enemy fire would hurt you during that time. It's also been almost two years since I tried it. At the time there were several bug reports from users, so the issue may have been fixed.

                      If we were in marketing, we could almost promote that as a feature rather than a bug! :)

                      I don't think Reicast has been changed anytime recently, so I suppose it'll still be the same. Will have to try it out.

                      Thanks!

                        Ha, very true. I actually am in marketing and I've seen it happen. Then, once the problem's solved, you can promote the fact that it's "more arcade accurate".

                              I'd have to say Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom. It wasn't the best, but it was one of my firsts outside of the arcade and Atari environments and I loved it.

                                  There is "bat" in both, coincidence ? I think not.

                                          @mediamogul just tested out ikaruga for dreamcast on my pi3. Still has the issue you described where you can't move or shoot for about 30 secs. Game seems to work fine after that. What's the difference between the two shooting modes (red laser vs blue laser)?
