I will most likely pick this up. I enjoyed Blazing Chrome and I thought Oniken and Odallus were quite good too.

I’ve had trouble getting into these games, which is weird because they sound on paper like something I ought to like. People used to say they were like NES games, but more fair. I disagree, they seem much less fair than (good) NES games, like Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania. More punitive and more disrespectful of the players. I’d like to overcome this eventually though and really get into them.

I was a big fan of Robotech and Macross back in the day. I remember reading about this game and being really excited for it. I kept waiting and waiting but it never came out. There was also a PS1 Macross game that was supposed to get a Western release. A demo made it onto one of the OPM demo discs. I played that demo over and over and kept waiting for the game to come out. It never did - but I kept that demo disc for many years. Eventually we got Battlecry.

I actually prefer the Alpha games. I had trouble choosing between Alpha 2 and 3... I ultimately voted for 3, but they're pretty much tied for me.

A retro bundle of the Ridge Racer games, up through, say, R4 would be an immediate purchase for me.
