ScorchMaster16 Well what a coincidence! So do I. I love old school shoot em up games. Bullet hell games are the best. I just hate how Cave, the best developer for the genre only makes games for Japanese 360 and the American 360 is Region Locked. How absolutely dreadful! There was this game I saw on youtube called Death Smiles that looks really awesome but it's a Japanese only release. Yeah, it's a bitter shame how the genre has all but died out here in the States. Part of it has to do with the death of arcades in general, as the only place I've seen arcade cabinets where I live is near the box office at my local megaplex. And even then, they're some crappy movie tie-in games or Ridge Racer. I understand that there's probably not a very big market in the States for retro shooters, so making it a proper release wouldn't be feasible. But would it be so hard to hire a small localization team and put it up as DLC on XBL or PSO or Steam or something? Oh, by the way, have you ever played a PC shooter called Tyrian? It's not very difficult, but obscenely fun.
@Volvy: I own SC and Brood War and played them constantly when I was a kid. I love the games, but I'm afraid I've never been very good at RTSes.

I'll have to look that up. But strangely I went to a Kings Dominion or some place like that and found this one Bullet Hell game called Espgaluda 2. It was crazy bullets everywhere! I went as a school trip and people around me was like "How are you dodging the bullets?" I only got to like level 2 though. There were LOTS of bullets there. But yeah I think DLC would be MORE than enough, people would buy something like that.

You can download the game from the mirrors they have here--I've used it myself, it's safe. You'll need a DOS emulator like DOSBox to run it, though, it doesn't work with Windows. You can find download mirrors and a tutorial if you're not familiar with DOS easily by searching. 3nodding I've never heard of that one, myself. Newgrounds has a great collection of Flash shooters.

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix
Now THAT was an awesome release to see, even though 360 controllers sucked for it. I used to be so good at that game...

I've actually adapted quite well to the 360 controller though when it comes to more complicated moves (like SNK fighting games) it can be a little troublesome. But I still prefer the Playstation controllers over anything else. The Xbox 360 controller may force me into getting a Arcade Stick for Tekken 6 when it comes out. Also...Marvel vs. Capcom 2 comes out this month too I believe.

I guess so. I know someone who bought that game. But that was only like one person. Maybe everyone else caught on...or got it illegally.
