Since this thread got side tracked anyway... I got a Guwange PCB with instructions and dip sheet for sale.
Cool Japanese jamma games I should be on the lookout for?

Raiden Fighters Jet at #9.
Love that one as well. Quirky scoring system and so much replay value with the different jet types. I recommend finding the 360 release of the series...it is usually only 20-ish bucks.

This is a perfect example of how people within a limited community group (just like here on the KLOV) tend to gravitate towards what people talk about "a lot". I have personally never played Battle Garegga, but after watching a video of it on YouTube, I can honestly say that (although it was CLEARLY voted as the "best" Shmup on there) there is NO WAY that I would prefer playing that game over ANY of the Cave games listed below it. If someone were to do a similar list here on the KLOV, I'm sure that perched up at the top of the list would be something like "Discs of Tron" instead of, say, "Robotron". Even though MOST people on here don't own or play/enjoy DOT too much, it would end up getting lots of votes because people like/love the "idea" of the game. And it is sought after and just "uncommon enough" for people's ears to "perk up" whenever it is mentioned on here. But given the choice of playing either DOT or Robotron, I guarantee that most of us would end up going back to play Robotron again and again...

Last night I played Pink Sweets (PCB version) for the first time and it was very fun. The theme is a bit "cutsie" for my taste but the game is very fun. Even with the cutsie theme I think it will take me awhile to get bored of this game.

Did you try the score attack mode ? ( holding a + b when starting a game )
It's great fun .

I read about the different modes but I have not tried them yet. Lots to try..
There is also an Extend mode and a Harder mode I discovered but didn't try them much yet.

Mind if I ask how much that set you back? The prices on Cave games are kinda ridiculous.

The Xbox 360 port of Radiant Silvergun hit today, and IGN gave it a score of 9/10, securing an "Incredible" designation. The review video can be found here:

Other than Ikaruga, I can't think of ANY other stateside shooter releases that have ever been given such a high score...

Yeah they are expensive. The only way I can afford to play Cave PCBs is to buy one and play it for a few months and then sell it and get another one. You can usually sell it for what you paid so it is really like a free rental with a big deposit. lol
I recently found a crazy deal on a Pink Sweets kit so I had to jump on it.
So now I gotta sell my Guwange PCB. Anyone want to buy a Guwange PCB ?
Comes with instructions and dip sheet.

Taito Gnet board FTW
Space Invaders Anniv.
Psyvariar Revision
G-Darius
Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings (vert screen)
theres more also. It's like a multi system but you just need one CF card per game.

I just got my Gnet board with the cf mod and it is awesome. I thought I had some problems but I had to just adjust the monitor pots to the gnet color bars and grid pattern and then it looked great.
Lots of good games for a decent price. I heard there might be more games coming out for the modbios also.

I was hoping that this would be a fighthing game thread. In that case, I was going to bring up Darku Tenishi and Last Bronx.
As far as shumps go... I think that Border Down and Trizeal (Naomi/JP DC) are often overlooked.

How much was the Gnet? I have Raystorm and would love to have other games like it.

Time Gal! Plays like Dragons Layer (its also a laderdisc game). They had a shitty version that came out on Sega CD but the arcade version was only released in Japan (as far as I've ever heard).

Border Down is really fantastic. Haven't tried Trizeal.
