    This looks like the greatest game ever made.

    So it's basically Crazy Taxi with zombies.

    ...awesome.

    This one was actually pretty nifty, especially when the person was running on or over the beam attack.

    You have no idea. You can't use it (effectively) against the bosses so it's not shown, but the rest of the game you've got various time abilities from freezing to rewind to replay, etc.


    I just downloaded this game, but I cant get it to work. It always automatically exits after about three seconds of loading stuff. Can you help me with this?

    For anyone else who is interested (the link in the comments works): http://indygamer.blogspot.com/2006/11/bunny-must-die.html.

    Tried Applocale and all the usual jazz?

    Sorry for not responding sooner. I had never heard of Applocade before, but I just downloaded it. When it asked me to find what language the game was in, I couldnt, probably because "japanese" was written in japanese. So just picked a random option that didnt have any real character sets associated with them (just appearing as all boxes, or random symbols), and it said something like "YOUR COMPUTER CANT UNDERSTAND THIS LANGUAGE. GOODBYE."

    And now I'm here.

    (Im going to go download a japanese language pack in the meantime).

    One of the Ranma 1/2 fighting games.

    My Brother's a Ranma fan and got his hands on this game.

    It's pretty good.

    cho aniki series, thread over. ive played the game mebbe once, and seen alot of screens, and i still sometimes get nightmares from what ive seen. oh my god....just thinking about it makes me wanna cry, oh god


    Christ, get over it. Straight women and gay men have been dealing with the reverse for years and you don't see us freaking out because of it.
    I own the two PCECD ones. They are quite delightful, and not bad at all to play. #2, a shooter with streetfighter moves, yes! Works really well.

    Also, no mention of toilet kids? Come on!

    ...got that one too. To confirm the lore, it is not a very good game. Not unplayable but not good. But it does have poop.

    Didn't someone talk about an art game that was an import? I'm interested myself but I just didn't get a name when I should of. It had a press lightly and press hard calibration and someone had made a portable DS painting.

    the bar none absolute worst game i have ever imported in my life. so you have a sled/cart/whatever that is rocket/jet propelled, yet still needs MECHANICAL ANIMALS to pull it along. and not just normal shit like horse and buggy, oh no. we are talking robot dolphins and shit. everytime you try to turn the whole screen just kinda jerks to that side as you proceed to crash into the wall. oh. oh, so much fun was had. >:|

    I finally played some bonafide Pop'n Music at a new arcade down here.

    I think this makes us one of less than five places in the country with a Pop'n cabinet.
    (It's a version 13, 'Festival'.)

    Very quirky, but fun. It's like Beatmania, but I can actually see what's going on.

    No wonder it's so obscure, though. Everything is in Japanese. Try searching through 500 songs in 30 seconds while having to look at every single one just to hear what they sound like.

    On the bright side, it's got Cruel Angel's Thesis and Moonlight Densetsu(how, I have no idea).

    The strangest import game I've ever played has to be Toilet Kids.

    I discovered this game purely by accident while going through a collection of japanese Turbografx games with my brother one day. It starts with some kid going to the bathroom and being sucked into a toilet, only to end up in some bizarre toilet world where enemies are all comprised of various forms and varieties of shit. It plays like a SHMUP where you get regular bullets and bombs for the ground based crap monsters.

    It is actually pretty fun and not as terrible as you'd imagine a game based around annihilating living gobs of fecal matter would be.
