Final Fantasy 7... Only kidding ;)

It would have to be a shortish game, maybe 15-45mins maximum to complete with medium/hard difficulty.

Parasol Stars on the PCE. It blows my mind this wasn't an arcade game, everything about it screams coin-op! But no....

Indeed, although people do seem to think it's an arcade conversion. Worth bearing in mind the PC Engine version is the only "proper" one too.
I played this back in the day on my Amiga and it was a right shambles compared to the PCE version.

They were making a Spriggan, it was canned before release.
Interesting!
A quick google search pulled this up: http://nfggames.com/games/yahoo_auction ... Powerd.htm"
You didn't happen to nab that one, did you Shou? :awe:

I'm still surprised there was never a legit DOOM arcade...

Would have been nice but they kinda did as Toaplan did most of the work on Musha Aleste. :) They did a few other nice arcade titles too if i'm correct. ;)

Looks like an awesome game!!! Wouldn't mind having that one...maybe a bit expensive though.
Are there any better pictures or videos of this game?

So I'm not the only Tobal fan after all. :awe:

Gotta mention Axelay. One of the best shooters ever, reason enough to own a SFC.
