Agreed. Strikers II & Striker Plus on NEOGEO are the best of the series. Border Down on DC reminds me a lot of Aero Blasters on PCE & Genesis. Same level lay out.

quote=Ryuken,Dec 7 2004, 10:54 PM]these kind of games r fun but too hard so i try to avoid playing them and i've never heard of lord of thunder but good job <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've played all those Shmups on the DC. I've completed Ikaruga. They're nice but not as fun as Lords. Radiant Silvergun is also cool. A never ending boss fight... [

I completed Lords of Thunder (U) yesterday, 1st on the SEGA CD (Gens) & then on the PCE DUO (Magic Engine). That was one Kicks Ass game! Excellent music & gameplay. Graphics were nice, some cool bosses there. The SEGA version, I beat it without losing a life (No save states) And for The DUO, I used 1 credit (Again no save states) The DUO version was better. It had more colours & the soundtrack was better. Plus it’s so much better that on the DUO, the intro starts up directly when you boot up the game. It adds a lot to the atmosphere. This is one of the few shmups with a shop, along with Carrier Wing, that I liked. Generally the SEGA CD version was very easy compared to the DUO. The shop is slightly more expensive, but you can collect a lot more Gems in the levels than on the DUO. The narration on the Geny was nice. I liked this better than its prequel: Gate of Thunder. (I still have to beat that) They don’t make cool shmups like this any more… Anybody else played these?

I have KOF2000 Rom that works using NeoRageX Xp, but has some graphics glitches. I know there was a patch-fix. Can someone give me a link? Also where can I get the patch-fix for Metal Slug 5 NeoRageX Roms? It has the same problem like Metal Slug 3, when it would freeze right before the “Giga Power Spec”, if you don’t insert coin. I found the patch for MS3 & fixed it but not for MS5. Thanks in advance.
