Super distractions
I have officially been distracted this week. But for damn good reason: “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann”!
A crazy anime about -no… I don’t even want to spoil it for those who may want to watch it. All you need to know is that it’s by Gainax and it’s really over the top. Go watch it! Now!
Back to the realm of video games. I was distracted from Yggdra Union this week when I picked up this awesome shump up from… somewhere. I think it may have been NeoGAF. Regardless I found it at the “Shoot the core” database again, where in romanji it’s apparently called “CHO REN SHA”. Which translates to something along the lines of “Super-discharge successively” or “Super running fire”. It’s super fun and that’s all I really care about. Although I decided to look into the game a bit more since I noticed the download site had “X68K” all over the place and a “disk image” download for the “X68K”. Funny thing, just last week I tried emulating a Sting game(makers of yggdra union) that ran on the Sharp X68000 which was commonly abbreviated as “X68K”. Turns out I was right, and upon further searching I believe this game to actually be a homebrew project and not an official game! Which would explain why it’s not on the game list of X68K games at Wikipedia, and why it’s up for download in the first place I guess. ‘¬_¬
Then some google image searching led me to a dude who stuffed a microITX computer in his left over Sharp X68000 case and with S-video out plays this game on his TV. Pretty sweet!(note: page uses Shift_JIS encoding)
I recommend you download it if you like old school shmups and at least play it to level 3(which is totally awesome). Last thing, I liked the name-entry music so much I recorded and uploaded it for all to listen.
OH and Happy 4th!… Yay for shitty “safe fireworks”. Bleh, I’m not even buying any this year.
