Razor2 came in a bundle. There's no way in hell I would have bought that separately.

I don't know if I'm going to. It was pretty cool. Is Analogue worth playing?

Yeah, in the TG-16 version the laser is distinctly more powerful; but the vulcan gives you a touch of slowdown when it's fully powered up and that makes some of the later bosses more tolerable. The game is still brutally difficult either way, but the laser seems to be designated as the expert difficulty weapon in the TG-16 version. I'll have to snag the JP PS version(US doesn't have tate) after I either mod or buy a JP PlayStation, it's said to be arcade perfect. But the TG-16 version was the best port for many years at the time, I believe; I can't speak on the Genesis port that came a few years later, but the SNES Raiden Trad is just abyssmally awful, terrible framerate, terrible controls etc.

I prefer the laser, but it's too bad I'm playing the TG-16 version instead of the arcade version, so we can't really effectively compare scores. Funny, I'm also playing Strikers 1945 PLUS for the Neo; which is a remixed version(quite different, some prefer it, others don't) of Strikers 1945 II. Kind of a funny coincidence though that we're both playing the same 2 shmups at the same time, only different versions.

I rather liked Nikopol, you know. It's worst demerit was that it was so short. The two electricity puzzles were kinda ass, too. It set the setting pretty well, then it felt like 80% of the story was missing, setting you to a grand finale out of nowhere. Kinda like Beneath the Steel Sky.

What it does well is the setting; a totalitarian communist dystopia. You could feel the oppression in the air. I just wished the hopeless struggle part would have gone for much longer. The Void and to some extent Fahrenheit managed that pretty well. Anyway, I don't regret playing Nikopol. Then again, I didn't pay much for it, maybe around as much as I paid for Alpha Prime. Had less fun with AP.

Wasted potential than anything else, in my book.

don't have an lapc-i quite yet - it's just one of the few old computer bits i'm still hunting for. of course it's less how hard they are to find and more coughing up the $150 or more they always go for. ._.

good to hear they're worth it, though!
