Yo, have you seen these Taito Stations they have in Japan? There's some crazy machines in those arcades.

No it isn't. I'm not sure why since the Atari 2600 version was published by Atari. The arcade original is by Stern Electronics and that might explain it. Stern is long gone so who knows who owns it now. Apparently Atari doesn't.

It's only been ported to systems from the 80s unfortunately. One recent one, however, is on this iPhone/iPad ap  Vectrex Regeneration. Which looks super cool btw.

The sequel has one of my favorite games on it, Front Line. Taito has a lot of great games. I keep finding more of them. I think they are fast becoming one of my favorite game makers.

I was playing Wizard Fire the other day and really liked the text over static or slightly animated graphics that made up the cut-scenes. I'd love to do something like that. I actually want to make all my blogs like that.

You betcha. Sometimes it's hot dogs or other meaty foods. Party time!

No it isn't, but it looks awesome. Added it to my wishlist. Thanks!

My thought exactly.

Holy shhhh! Kargaroos too?! That's over-the-top. I'm thinking reality show at this point.

I love, love, love the Culdcepts. I actually read the first volume of the Manga and imported the Japanese Culdcept II for Dreamcast thinking it was somehow different. It's not, it's just Saga before it became Saga.

I haven' finished either though on story mode. It gets hard and some very suspicious dice rolls are made in later levels. My friend persisted with it though and got to the end of Saga. We played it one-on-one with some A.I. players many times in both versions. Wish there were more games like this out there. Culdcept got a DS version in Japan and I think there's an online version going on too. I just want another one on consoles or something similar. There's nothing like board games when they're also fantasy games.

That, my friend, is a day well spent. Also, that you did this blog from class gets you extra credit in my book. Well done.
