Raiden Densetsu is good top-down shooter. Not great but good. It doesn’t do much to stand out but it also doesn’t really screw anything up either. If this style of game is your thing then this would be a good title to pick-up. This one is in Very Good condition and I really do like the cover artwork.
Raiden Densetsu
XDR X-DAZEDLY-RAY is no Thunder Force. I have scored myself another mediocre shooter. But just like Raiden Densetsu it’s cover art is nice and this one is in Excellent condition. There were so many shooter for the Genesis that these kinds of games really can’t help but embody the feeling of this retro era. It feels good to add these two titles to the collection.
XDR X-DAZEDLY-RAY
Jantei Story Jyantei Monogatari. I look for new game so often that I have really become familiar with what’s out there. When I saw this one I had no idea what is was. I was hoping it might be some Sailor Moon-ish beat’em up or maybe something like Valis. But despite the fact that deep down inside I knew this was just another mahjong game I bought it anyways. And I was right (I think). I’m pretty sure it is a mahjong game. It might be some kind of dating mahjong game. Anyways, it’s in Excellent condition and is now hidden somewhere deep in the collection 🙂

Three more fun games! Yeah XD-R is kind of weak, but it’s not the worst MD shooter out there. The version of Raiden for the system is OK, but I know some people who hate it (well, if you have it on MAME, yeah, you can be picky I suppose). That Mahjong game is indeed a cutie capture game, but if you learn how to play it, it’s actually fun. Do you have Mahjong COP for the MD yet? That’s a detective mahjong game that you won’t play, but I like the cover art…

I looked up Mahjong COP and have I seen it before but I didn’t know what it was. Maybe I should buy it just to man-up and balance out my mahjong collection 😛
Is ‘cutie capture game’ an actual genre? I couldn’t help but laugh when I read that.

Oh, I made that up, but I tend to do that with some game genres (hack ‘n slash is chase ‘n chop, so you’ll see that pop up from time to time). There are a bunch of Japanese dating sims or other game types that revolve around beating anime (or real-life) gals at assorted mini-games in order to get a date (or more), but there are plenty of SERIOUS collectors of that stuff. I just like the silly idea of them because it’s so far removed from reality that you have to laugh…

Well, I love your ‘cutie capture game’ expression. I think you nailed it.
