Probably a Japanese undercover cops that hasn't got leaking elna caps, or been recapped by a goon.

That's a classic title 8-) looks like most I see, like you mention, have been touched by 'Johnny dick fingers'. Ffs... :problem:

Looks amazing, but you need to turn the 5v up a tad (or maybe down), the text is shifting... :P

Its a cool game tho not quite as polished as youd like, definetly weird that it has skyrocketed in value lately.

A lot of the early 90's Data East games have for whatever reason. I can't believe people actually want to play them, they just want to own them. Novelty games is definitely a good way to put it.

Nitroball and Night Slashers are really good though!

Edward Randy....not so much.

In the killercabs days, one one or two occasions ive used Data East pcbs like baddudes vs dragonninja as boxfilling when the box i used to ship a pcb in was too big and i was low on styrofoam/paper/bubblewrap. It was basically the only way to get rid of them.

I have no idea why Boogie Wings is so sought after. Owned it for a couple of years and sold it to get a much much better game.

Because youtube. People just watch the audio and graphics presentation and think wow this looks so unique and cool.

I wanted Boogie Wings a some years back. Then I actually tested it...not so much then.

There's a reason why some games outlast others...

I noticed a guy that is local to me had a WTB for Boogie Wings. I told him the game wasn't very good and I said I would be happy to loan the game out to him. So he picked it up.

This was three years ago.

Well, I saw the guy last week and he reminded me he still has my game. I said, I remember. I then asked him if he still wanted to buy the game. He said yes.

Had he actually spent time playing the game between now and then?

No.

:lol:

Controversial statement coming !!! nitroball feels like a snes game to me and nightslashers is great looking but average (always felt off to me ) ! and I say that as someone who likes both and wanted both games but don't own them as they where never worth what people are and were paying for them .....Edward Randy is broken as **** though they all have something that draws you in though.

Ill second that statement.

Edward randy is a weak strider clone but the visuals are amazing (still to this day), its a game everyone should play once to get that initial "wow" feeling then never again..

9 out of 10 just want the game because its expensive which makes it some form of exclusive. Which in turn makes it more expensive etc.
