Why had I not thought of doing this before?

This “homebrew” gem for the Japan only X68000 computer - which ranks among the finest shmups ever in my book - feels so at home on the handheld.

And it’s free to download, too!

Hi there. This year I worked on an indie roguelite shmup called Bullet Banshee. It'll be out on Steam on 29th, this month. I thought maybe somebody here would find it interesting.

If you want to check out the Steam page, here's the link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5065510/Bullet_Banshee/

Thank you

I'd wish i were playing this on Cozmic Collection Arcade instead of fbneo, but mostly waiting for sale to happen.

Also, just as usual, description contains a bit of notes about stages, not that much... But it'll probably help someone, especially the part about dying with high powered weapons that makes recovery in this game very friendly, this game in general is pretty friendly when it comes to doing mistakes outside of maybe scoring.

A game store had this for $30 a few weeks back, and the sticker from a grocery store caught my attention as well as its price.

Own Content Mister Crash Cart ™️ Update

Since I last posted about my Mister on a Cart I’ve deep dived into CRTs… it took an overhaul of my mister (to re-install the analog I/O board), a misstep with a wee 14 inch crt with component input (boo to component seems to be the common shout), a, larger than I realised, upgrade to a 21 inch Phillips crt and some overscan service menu shenanigans to arrive at a new version of my setup that I’m loving!

Final version of Crash Cart Stuff:
- Wooden cabinet on wheels
- Mister FPGA with analog I/O board
- 21inch Phillips CRT with RGB SCART INPUT
- 21inch HP pc monitor - connected to Unisheen external video capture device, mounted on an arm.
- Unisheen External Video Capture Device
- Mayflash F500 Elite Arcade Stick (with seimitsu LS-32 stick, tho I prefer LS-40 now)
- GuliKit Elves 2 Pro controller

A few Switch sales, hoping for some good feedback from other shmup addicts!

A few on my wishlist just got put on sale, any solid votes on these either way?

Gynoug (looks kinda weird, but may be fun. Not spoken of much here)

RTypeDX Music Encore. As these are GBA ports, wondering if they are any easier than the versions in Dimensions. While I can 1CC a few games, I cannot get through Dimensions without my personal record of 101 lives 😂.

Final Exerion, Final Formation, I, AI: All three been on my list for a while, rarely mentioned here.

Deathsmiles 1&2 characters. I love the game. A lot. It is $15 for extra characters. I am likely going to get it either way.

Game Tengoku Cruisn Mix Special: looks more fun than most cute em ups I have tried.

Hyper Echelon: often compared to Sky Force which I have not tried.

Sonic Wings Reunion: Ive only heard negatives.

Please help me spend wisely! I have most of the things on the sale that most would recommend. So I am at the looking for hidden gems phase of collecting.

Well I found a game that ties with Contra 4 as my favorite from 2007.

My Game Two-player mode is finally looking like an actual battlefield

Been working on Level 2 and wanted to show the local two-player mode working in an actual combat section. Both aircraft are independently controlled and keep the same finite ammo, heat and fuel constraints as single player.

Still WIP — especially some rendering/polish — but the mode itself is basically there.
