Really enjoyed the first two games in this series, but somehow never got around to playing this one. Shown here with the clean alternate reverse cover by Olly Moss.

(Oh… I was waiting for a .hack fan to out themselves.)

3D LEMMINGS
This is a fun thread! I hope no one used this game already because it’s hard to confirm over a thousand posts with mainly just pictures.
@chazumaru Nice! I was expecting someone to weasel out with the “E” (I know I would have). I am fairly certain this has not come up before–love the cover art for this one! I'm also waiting for the day someone grabs the “.” I dont think .hack has appeared yet?
@chazumaru I don't think it was used!
Here‘s one. The ole premium disc. Meanwhile I haven’t finished scenarios 2 and 3. The game is just too difficult for its own good.

@kory That‘s the first Death Jr. with the special edition cover for the PSP! I couldn’t get enough of that game and just went back to play through it again. It‘s got such a perfectly realized world and it just felt like the PSP was where it was born and where it belonged. Love it so much. The second was great but it didn’t feel as tight and I never got around to the Wii version. The poor DS one just made me sad, it lost so much of what made it wonderful.

SHIENRYU
Shienryu is Warashi’s self-publishing debut, originally an arcade game released on Sega’s ST-V board in early 1997. As far as I am aware, it is the only ST-V game running in *tate* (vertically oriented monitor) configuration, which probably did not help it commercially as it made switching the cartridge more of a hassle for arcade operators. The game was quickly brought over to ST-V’s sister hardware on the consumer side, the SegaSaturn, in June 1997. It’s a decent orthodox shmup with a rank system and a second loop. Unfortunately for a shmup of that era, the soundtrack is really lacking compared to its peers.
Shienryu is pretty much a remake of Daioh, a 1993 shooting game which the same core team had developed at Athena for Sammy’s arcade game division. Daioh itself has an interesting backstory: it is the only standalone commercial release of the Daioh series, a lineage of “sample” games included in almost every version of Dezaemon, Athena’s long-running shmup maker software, and the tradition would continue even after the departure of the original team. As such, there is a new entry of the Daioh series to be found in Dezaemon 2 (1998) on the SegaSaturn, released after Shienryu.
The crimson dragon-looking battlemech you see on this cover is not the (first) player’s (red) ship but the very last boss of the game, DIO, possibly intended to be read “Dai-Ō”. It was also the last boss of, well, Daioh. The title Shienryū 紫炎龍 (*purple flame dragon*) is probably also a reference to this boss.
Has anyone posted Urban Reign yet? Probably . . . It feels pretty insert credit-y.

@“Southeastpaw”#p36415 Oh dang I‘m sorry, reading my post I realize my reply was a little misleading! I meant that I played the first two Resistance games–don’t mean any disrespect for Death Jr., though. I haven't played it but it seems like a highly regarded game! Too bad about that DS one, I guess.
Just checked and I don’t think I’ve got a single N left
What @“CidNight”#p36486 is really saying here is now is the time to buy Nitro+ Blasterz at -75% on Steam!
@“chazumaru”#p36459 Also the PS version has tons of weird filters to choose from, including a pocketstation one (when I bought the game I naively hoped it was an actual pocketstation version of the game… my disappointment was high)
[edit] also, nitro+blasterz is actually quite good!
