The smooth 60fps that's rarely drop, the badass opening cinematic, the harsh but fun difficulty, the time limited true final boss, the control scheme is simple and precise, the simple but unique story (replacing vacuum tube to prevent malicious AI), and the soundtracks are certified banger! (on the Japanese version, that's the one that I played)!
Shade by Seeder is so energetic and exhilirating when it's played on final stage. Ismeel by Dip In The Poll is so melancholic, peaceful, yet a little bitter sweet that the fight is over.
Unfortunately, there's no other game like Omega Boost. I can't find any arcadey boss rush game with great freedom of movement with cool mecha. It's very replayable and chasing the high score is frustatingly fun.
Thank you Yuji-san for creating such a great game and the good memories!
I don't like all the parties that involved in this bickering.
Pixel Cherry Ninja feels tried too hard earning money from youtube by churning video everyday so every FPGA update feels overlapped with each other of his video and most of his video is filled with rambling because he need to extend the video runtime.
Atrac17 is smart and contributed a lot of heavy weight FPGA arcade cores but unhinged, immune to online criticism, and easily triggered.
MARS FPGA is using hype and 90s attitude ads for it's upcoming product but with thin evidence of progress and prove of the real product. Yet they already priced it $700.
I just want to play old games with high accuracy and low input lag. I don't want to care about the dramas, but I can't. Because the same awesome people around FPGA throwing crap to each other.
FPGA cores are open source project, the core devs DOESN'T OWN the game or console license that they reproduced. Yet still there's conflict of interest.
I'm tired, maybe I will download MAME again in the near future.

It's the BEST ps1 game I've ever played.
