Recommend me some x68000 games?

[Psygnosis8]

Hi ya'll!  I'm an NFGgames virgin.  I joined because I recently purchased an X68000 VI Compact which I'm planning to mod with a CF setup (with a little help from my friends  ) 

I know this PC is famous for it's outstanding arcade ports, but in the west we don't hear much about exclusive games for this thing.  I know about Aquales and A.B. Cop (and I love the version of Thunder Force II for the X68K), but not much else.  I have a lot of fun browsing through games and discovering gems, but I was wondering if you guys had anything to recommend as "must plays".  I love Shmups, platformers, and English-Friendly games are best.  (If the game has porn in it, even better.  Porno games crack me up.)

Anyway,I'm excited to learn more about this unexplored territory from experienced denizens, and any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Sadly not.. Hyperspin as you know it on PC's would be near impossible to do running for real on any X68k hardware. A custom launcher that mimics Hyperspin could be coded to work on the X68k.. but it would have to be toned down features and graphics wise to run within the limitations of the hardware.

Genpei Toumaden

Love this game.  Would kill for a PCB.  Glad someone else is a fan.

Illumination Laser is a homebrew, right?  I think I played that at robivy64's house.  It was really impressive.

So I got my X68K yesterday.  I got it working and I tried Star Luster.  Holy crap, what a beautiful game.  I love the Famicom and Nintendo VS System versions, but nothing could prepare me for how badass this game is.

I also really dig the version of Sol-Feace on here.  Better than the Mega-CD, even without red-book audio.

If you enjoy Star Luster, you owe it to yourself to get a Cyberstick.  Full size analog stick and throttle really adds to the fun.  Not to mention its the only real way to enjoy Thunder Blade, Afterburner, and the like....

Wow, that thing looks amazing, thanks for the heads up!  I didn't know any X68K games supported that.  Looks like I'll be looking for one of those on Yahoo Japan soon.  That would be sweet to be able to play a decent home port of After Burner with a flight stick/throttle without having to buy a whole cabinet.

Anybody got one they wanna unload? 

[SuperDeadite]

It is a must own.  There's roughly two dozen games or so that support it.  Can also be used with other systems such as MegaDrive/MegaCD/32X/PC-Engine/FM-Towns.

Not the best demo vid, but I'm using it with X68K Space Harrier here.
