Gamefaqs Link

Last Topic's Ratings:

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Super S: Various Emotion - BB - 0% (2)
Bust-A-Move 3 - GAA - 67% (3)
Crimewave - GAB - 50% {3}
Sankyo Fever: Jikki Simulation S Vol 3 - BB - 0% (2)
Shinobi Legions - AGGG - 88% (4)
Vandal Hearts - AGGGG - 90% (5)

Certainly not too bad compared to the PS1 topic, Vandal Hearts put up a consistent strong showing on both platforms. Also, Sankyo Fever has now wrapped up a 0% rating for the entire series.

Games for this topic:

Command and Conquer
Final Fight Revenge
Haunted Casino
Macross: Do You Remember Love
Mobile Suit Gundam
Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushidou Retsuden

We've got a couple off odd spinoffs this time in Final Fight Revenge and the Samurai Shodown RPG. We also get the showdown between Macross and Gundam that everyone has always wanted (though neither of this would fit in the topic title so I had to put Haunted Casino instead).

GAB PS1 #176 - Daibouken Deluxe, Silverload, Vib Ribbon

Last Topic's Ratings:

Delta Force: Urban Warfare - AAAA - 50% (4)
Disney's 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure - BBBB - 0% (4)
GT Senshuken Max Rev - BB - 0% (2)
King of Fighters 98 - GBA - 50% {3}
Pinball Fantasies Deluxe - AGA - 67% (3)
Sensible Soccer - BBB - 0% (3)

Ouch. 3 games with 0% and not a single game in the high range? Let's just move right along.

Games for this topic:

Daibouken Deluxe
Fishing Koushien 2
Silverload
Soukoban Basic 2
Three Stooges, The
Vib Ribbon

This is an eclectic set of games, but I think it looks pretty cool. I've played Vib Ribbon before but I remember almost nothing about it, so I'm interested to look at it again.

Last Topic's Ratings:

BattleSport - AGA - 67% (3)
Dead or Alive - AGGGGA - 83% (6)
Dodonpachi - GGAA - 75% (4)
Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei - GGGGGGGGG - 100% (9) (3 SR)
Trash It - BB - 0% (2)
Voice Fantasia S - A - 50% (1)

You'd think after doing GAB for like 12 years I'd know that 5 / 6 = 0.83, but even though I do know the answer I'm never confident enough in it to not use a calculator.

Games for this topic:

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Super S: Various Emotion
Bust-A-Move 3
Crimewave
Sankyo Fever: Jikki Simulation S Vol 3
Shinobi Legions
Vandal Hearts

A few games we've seen before on other platforms, but I'm looking forward to trying out Crimewave and Shinobi Legions.

If there had to be a topic where no one else played the imports, I'm not sad it was this one.

Games for this topic:

Delta Force: Urban Warfare
Disney's 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch's London Adventure
GT Senshuken Max Rev
King of Fighters 98
Pinball Fantasies Deluxe
Sensible Soccer

I probably mentioned this when we covered the SNES version, but I have some fondness for Pinball Fantasies, as it was one of my first gameboy games, so I'll be interested to see what they did with the PS1 version.
