    agent armstrong proboably..

    great game and fucking rare (especially if you dont want the german release).
    dunno if it was released outside of PAL territory..

    ed: AA wasent a capcom game tho, you might be thinking of something else..

    Gunners Heaven is so nice but only somewhat destroyed by the homing gun which kind of makes it a little easy. :p

    Still its awsome and I have it on my ps3 (got it from jpn psn network).

    That's the one! Cheers :icon_bigg

    I guess the Capcom confusion arose from it being a Virgin release. I played it on a demo disc with a load of Capcom games on it that were being published by Virgin, so I guess Virgin included this game demo on there too.

    still have that demo too.. offical UK mag was the best back in the days, you just cant beat a demo with a dozen playable games every month for £3.50 or whatever it cost :pray: mag was pretty thick too.

    theres a cheat to play 3 or 4 different levels in that demo btw.. dont remember it right now tho, its a great game anyways, very different!!

    It was always a fiver, which I found a bit steep. The only real reason I bought it was for the demo disc, but it was worth it ultimately, especially when they put the Yaroze demos on the disc.

    Other games overlooked:

    Bishi Bashi Special
    Bust-A-Groove (I think this was the US title too)
    Einhander
    Hogs of War
    Ace Combat games
    Blazing Dragons
    The Capcom vs. series got panned for the conversion being crippled but the games on their own are pretty good actually, as fighters go. Well worth buying.

    I second Einhander! One of my all-time favourite games, actually. Bastards never released a PAL version.

    Also, i'd like to mention Ore No Ryouri (sp?). That kicks ass.

    How about Umihara Kawase Shun (Fish and girl) I`ve never been able to find a copy but the gameplay looks amazing a but repetitie though. Reminds me of a whole game based on the bungee cord in Worms.

    Theres only one on ebay and it`s $250

    Umihara Kawase Shun is genius - everyone should own it. But 250 is crazy, try 4000 yen in Japan.

    Also EVERY game on the following site -
    http://users.pandora.be/twin-dreams/Sony_Systems.html

    Harmful park is perhaps the best out of that list @ 10000 yen ish in Japan

    Chippoke Ralph No Daibouken looks like a really decent platformer.
    It`s a real shame a lot more of these 2D titles didnt get a EU or even US release, A decent 2D game is timeless.

    That game was awsome (i was actualy just thinking about it while reading this topic again but before I saw your post). The first one on SNES is also really good.

    Wicked video, I never could figure out the 4th level. :(

    I wish they would make a new one for ps2/psp.

    Ehrgeiz? I've only hear bad things about it
    Another one that comes to my mind when you mentioned it is Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi ^^

    I picked this game up the other day for a £1. Looks pretty sweet, but giving all my time to Super Pang Collection just now :)
