Espgaluda II kit.

My Espgaluda II kit arrived yesterday and i'm pleased to say that the game is very fun indeed. Expect a review sometime (honest), however in the meantime here are some photos.

NEWER SET UP.

The big monitor is hooked up to my computer to play Mame games. The smaller amiga 1084S monitor  is hooked up to my Dreamcast. In truth i swap them about with all my consoles, y'know it depends on my mood.

Same as above but with Esp.ra.de (mame again). You can see my arcade pcbs just to the left of the pic.

As above but with Progear (mame) and Shikigami No Shiro II (Dreamcast).

I use this hori stick for my shooters and it's great! There is the smaller Hori Soul Caliber II stick on top of the monitor for some 2 player blasting fun or some 2 player fighting action.

My Complete Ketsui kit.

Ketsui kit paraphenalia.

Yeaa!!! It's authentic.

And it plays great! This is my Super Neo 29" cab..........Cheers Trev!

Above you can see my second cab, a Sega Aero City, which is lovely condition. This will be my dedicated horizontal cab for shooters such as Progear, R-Type series, Salamander series and 2D fighters. A special thanks goes out to Tony & Mark (Mr Megalo) over at Killercabs for the fantastic service.

Yahooo! I finally got myself a Japanese Progear board to go with my new cab. It looks astonishing and plays wonderfully. A big thanks to Malc over at shmups.com for selling the board to me cheaply.

Above are the 1 & 2 player controls including a cool Taito token/ash tray.

Here are my PS2 shooters with the odd superplay DVD thrown in.

These are my Saturn, Dreamcast & PSX shooters.

My Espgaluda and Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou posters. They aren't the arcade posters (rare), they're the more common poster for the PS2. I love the art and i should hopefully be getting the arcade poster of Mushihimesama (Cave 2004) sometime soon!
*Edit* Well I failed to procure the arcade Mushihimesamma poster, so I settled for the PS2 poster instead. Well if I have the other Cave PS2 posters I might as well, and although it isn't as cool as the arcade one, it goes well in my gaming room wall.

Dodonpachi II :Bee Storm. Not as bad as some people would have you believe.


My Ibara kit! Incredible new game from Cave, that is a wonderful homage to Raizing. A shooter game from heaven!
Below are various pics of it running in both my cabs. It plays like a dream and it looks stunning. A review will be up once I do the Dragon Blaze review.
