Oh wait, I actually got two games by now.

Maybe I'll get the system at some point, I heard the CD part tends to break down though and it emulates pretty well by now so I can play stuff from self-made ISOs and even avoid loading times.

Princess Maker 3. I didn't know about mod chips and region codes until I got it and started wondering why it didn't work in my playstation.

No you can't play either of these on PS2..You can Play Espgaluda 1 and Dodonpachi Daioujou Death Label on PS2.
Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label is a different version, although the differences might not be obvious if you haven't played both versions. People say Black Label is more enjoyable because you get more hypers and some patterns were re-tuned.
Espgaluda II is a completely different game.

indeed, and that is the best version available. The Saturn/PS1 remake sucks balls and the Sega CD version is technically inferior (except for the sound effects) and changed somewhat, although the translation is one of the best there is.

Radiant Silvergun. Despite its lack of challenge it's still one of my favorite STGs due to its overall direction and soundtrack.

Most recent import is Ar Tonelico 3. Just ordered it anyways.

Wow. Now you did it yet again. You never learn, do you? Kindly STOP spamming, harassing and generally attacking the best site on the Web immediately: www. anon

If you want these messages to cease, simply STOP fucking with us ENTIRELY, remove ALL lying troll articles about AT and kill all the illegal clones (using whatever method necessary). Get the domain unbanned from all the ISPs that you got it banned from. Then and only then will you never be bothered by these messages again. However, every single time we see the slightest attack or spam on our site (which can be reasonably expected to origin here or any related "chan"), you will get 4,142 more of these messages posted as a result. It's really up to you. This is a promise that WILL be kept up indefinitely if need be. We are not at all afraid of you chantards.

Yours sincerely, an anonymous AnT and general well-doer of the Internet as a whole. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and kindly get the fuck off of our board.

As you well know, you can get ESP.Ra.De boss milking and Guwange game long chaining on MAME.

DOJ Black Label is a lot more significant an upgrade than Anon lets on, but the 360 port is so fantastically rubbish it doesn't really matter.

Like Progear, Espgaluda II is one of those games that doesn't get totally awesome until the scoring tricks start clicking and you learn the stages. I stayed away from it in the arcades, but I welcome a port.
