I'm definitely looking forward to more games on this second collection over the first. I'll be getting to all these...alphabetically lol. It looks like there are quite a few good shmups in here and I hope the arcade nature of these will let me power through with infinite credits since I won't have the time to really put in the time and get good at them.
When we had Game Pass my boys really got into this game for a week or two. Seems pretty neat.
Doesn't look like it 
What's that game like?
Really? That's very surprising for 1982! Did Taito have a branch over here or was it just a random work for hire thing?
I've seen this game around a lot but never looked into it but it looks pretty good! 3D platformers aren't my favorite but I did like the digging aspect. That looks cool. Reminds me of the new game Yacht Club is developing, Mina the Hollower.
Gusty Garden Galaxy. Such a great song! I really wish we'd get a Galaxy 3 but failing that, I want another level-based 3D Mario game. Odyssey was very good and all, but I like the confined levels of Galaxy better. And the music! So good.
A little Contra, a little Devil May Cry, a little...I don't know...Gradius. It's a blend that works surprisingly well.
No, we didn't. We spread our upgrade points too thin trying stuff out and then it got too hard. This time I focused on a few things to really level them up and I paid closer attention to the actual combos my character could do. I'd love to try it co-op again though! But my kids are not up for this challenge lol
He has kind of a Mario look now that you mention it!
A great choice! Man, when that computer whistle thingy brings the melody in on the Tallon IV overworld song...it's so good. And the soundtrack did a great job of incorporating older melodies but making them its own, something Dread from last year struggled with. The song for Magmoor Caverns regularly pops into my head to this day.
