I've been on a bit of a shmup/2D collecting binge lately, and I've noticed a few recent PS1 acquisitions have come released under Working Designs' Spaz label. My question is, what other games did they release as Spaz?

Here's what I've got:

RayCrisis
Ray Storm
Silhouette Mirage
Thunder Force V

Any help is appreciated. :)

Wasn't that Sega arcade collection released on the Spaz label, too?

Spaz was a very short lived label. What you list is about it as far as I know. There might be a saturn or Sega CD game to go with it but thats about it. The label was just enveloped back into WD's fold as I dont think they got out as many shooters as they thought they were going to.

Stu covered it, but if you look in the back of one of the games, Vic explained that they retired the SPAZ label in favor of going back to their older Sega CD "Ultra Series" banner.

I think the Sega Classics was the Ultra Series, as were all the WD Sega releases.

Yes, Sega Ages Vol. 1 on Saturn had the label.

I'm so glad they didn't use it for Elemental Gearbolt because that logo was ugly and had that annoying voice intro.

AGREED! I am hot and cold on WD (the difficulty changes to games just irk me. Especially Exile 2 on the Duo, which was made impossible), but they treated Elemental Gearbolt with the same love they gave their RPGs.

Sorry so OT...

I just checked my copy of Sega Ages for the Saturn, and it's definitely on the Spaz label.

Did you know Raycrisis was picked up by JVC for its PAL release? Up until a short ago I didn't even know it got 1, unless I bought it.

Thanks, everyone! I guess my collection is about complete, then. :) I've been loving the hell out of RayCrisis.
