Black Tiger is so near and dear to my heart. It and Time Soldiers go back and forth as my favorite arcade games of all time. I turned off continues on my pcb in the dip switches, 'cause I haven't needed them in years. This pisses my friends that play it off, but they just need to practice more on their Capcom Classics 2 discs that I bought for pretty much all of them when it came out. I bet I gave that thing to at least 4 people that year.
Glad to see Kabuki Quantum Fighter is new to a few folks! I think it's pretty underrated.
Scissors-Metal Storm rules. Up until a few yeas ago, that was one of the best under the radar games out there... now it costs a lot... Good luck clearing Granstream! I've never dug it like I do the SNES trilogy, but I hope you have fun with it!
Az- I really dig Alien Storm. That pcb is on my list to get. I mean, the Genesis version is cool, and I really like it, but you're right about the devil being in the details!
