First games on the X68k

[edcross]

Finally today I had some leisure time with the x68k, played Terra Cresta and Dracula. Man...they are good...

Terra Cresta is one of my favorite arcade games and unless i'm missing something, i would say the experience is just as good. With Dracula the music and the overall gaming experience blew me away, what a great game!  I played both games just once until I got killed, i'm not in a rush and I love those 5-10 minute pill moments....

After this nice early experience I was wondering if you guys had any other MUST-PLAY games you recommend? And if so, why?

Thanks.

Hi, I'd say to start with these perfect arcade ports:

- Strider
- Daimakaimura
- Final Fight

This is just to realize the capacity of this machine utilized as development platform for these CPS1 games.Keep in mind that the first two requires 4MB of RAM.

I like soe of the doujin shooters, too.  Alian STG (I guess that's what it's called) is this really neat Cotton-style hori shooter where you can slash enemies if they get close.  The music is great and the backgroud is this really nice night-time landscape.  It's only one level, but looks like it had so much potential as a fully-realized game.  Try it if you find it.  It's in the Baller V4 CF image.
