That looks like a version of the Vogatek supergun you've got there. I remember when they cost like a tenner each. Decent as well.

Long time fan of Double Dragon here, but I did not buy this. Instead I pre-ordered the Egret 2 mini cart coming out this Christmas. 😅 I really hope they haven't messed with that by scrubbing out the VW Beetle etc.

That same space later had Armadillo Racing and Race On! iirc. Late 90s arcade era was great too.

wow! really? memories of playing this at namco wonderpark on great windmill street, on the ground floor in the right hand corner on the near side. the cabs in that corner were on a slight platform. as if you're getting on stage to play those big marquee games. i've never played it again since.

Every time I do a sequel, something shit happens so I won't ever be doing sequels ever again.

I have noticed them and indeed considered buying one or two. This device is a lot more flexible though. Will keep an eye out.

Superb. That means I can finally play some of the crazy expensive games on the system.

Uhm... Because I designed all the levels with the "default graphics", I could have done some that are more apt to each theme.

Carleton's been in top form ever since the game's release, getting it out there and handling all the different versions etc. Once I was done with the levels I just sat back and lapped up all the accolades. 😆

A bit shameless to ask for it to take loads of photos with, and then not buy. 😅

Me neither. I hope they won't sell out by the time I'm ready to buy. 🥲

I've always insisted not paying more than the original RRP for any old game. So when Macross Scrambled Valkyrie was £25 10+ years ago, I still didn't want to pay more than £20 as that's how much I was prepared to pay. Guess how much it is now. And yes, I still don't pay more than RRP for any game.
