    Mr Domino as in "No One Can Stop Mr. Domino"?

    (You had me surprised at Suzuki Bakuhatsu. I didn't think I had seen that game before but I have it as "Suzuki Explosion". I'll change my listing to reflect the true name.)

    Yup thats correct it was called, no one can stop mr domino.

    In japanese its somthing like domino o tomenaide.

    The playstation has been accused of having a lot of crap games in its library but in the mountain of average games are pure gems like suzuki bakuhatsu & many others.

    Would you mind picking a replacement for Mr Domino? I failed to mention that I wanted top imports which were never released in the US.

    Zanac X Zanac
    Gradius Gaiden
    Harmful Park
    Raiden DX
    Gaiaseed: Project seed trap

    Sorry that they all shooties.

    Of note the shooties that I've listed are not only great but also exclusive to the Japanese Playstation console. (exception - Raiden DX is in the arcade as well).

    I love shooters. They are my favorite. They would appear in my Top 100 for sure.

    My top 5 in no particular order per se:

    Rakugaki Showtime
    ZanacXZanac
    Internal Section
    Namco Museum Encore
    Gradius Gaiden

    Some of my personal grails right there.

    Could you put them in order if you had to? Gunner's Heaven is definitely one of my favorite imports (if not THE fav). It shows that the PS1 could do 2D as well as Saturn. The only downfall was not being 2 players.

    I actually removed Gunners' Heaven to put Gradius Gaiden on there. If I had to list them in order of what they mean to me, Rakugaki would be first due to its rarity and high cost (I paid market for it). Gameplay-wise, it isn't really the greatest thing ever (though it is quite fun and awesome with 4 people), but seeing it on the shelf is just so satisfying. It is probably the new jewel of my whole collection. So without further ado:

    1. Rakugaki Showtime
    2. Gradius Gaiden
    3. ZanacXZanac
    4. Internal Section
    5. Namco Museum Encore/Gunners' Heaven

    Gradius Gaiden is the best Gradius game and is also probably my favorite side scrolling shmup outside of the ThunderForce series.

    ZanacXZanac is a bit underwhelming at first, but it is an essential, if only for the fact that it is Compile's swan song shump. Don't get me wrong, the game is fantastic, but I have always been more of a Gun Nac guy than a Zanac guy.

    Internal Section was the surprising one for me. It is a shame that it was never released here in the US despite Square's popularity. It runs in Hi-Res mode and is one of the best looking PSX games.

    Finally, Namco Museum Encore is cool to have for Rolling Thunder alone, but I got it to top off my complete first print US Namco Museum collection.

    Gunners' Heaven is a very cool Gunstar Heroes clone, but it is not the second coming. Should have been released in the US. Now to pick up Panzer Bandit...

    Gunners Heaven looks really interesting. I haven't heard of this game until now and did some quick research. Unfortunatly I don't know too much overseas outside of shooties. When it comes to shooties, I know plenty otherwise not much elese

    Thanks for introducing me to this game. I'll have to pick it up!

    If you liked Gunstar Heroes on Sega Mega-Drive/Genesis, then you will like this one. I'm happy to have turned you onto this one. Defintely a must own. It'll be previewed on PlayStation Museum in January when it goes online, however if I can find the game I'll do some screenshots tonight.
