That&#8217;s not a bad deal for two full games.  Now, I haven&#8217;t even touched <B>MMP<\/b> but people say it&#8217;s a fun title with pretty cool visuals.  On the other hand, I played the first <b>Ibara<\/b> game and this &#8216;sequel&#8217; looks like sheer nonsense.  I guess that&#8217;s the point&#8230;and for $35, this will be part of my collection at some point.  Yes, it&#8217;s the cheapest, but it&#8217;s also the lowest on the priority ladder.<\/p>\n<p><b>ESP Galuda II<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/espgaluda2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/espgaluda2-e1377434020946-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"espgaluda2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1453\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI loved <b>ESPRa.De.<\/b> and its sequel <b>ESP Galuda<\/b> was one of my favorite shooters on the PS2.  While there are iOS ports of the game, I want the full title with an actual controller.  The only problem lies with the fact that I can&#8217;t dedicate the time to really master these games.  This game appears to be cheaper, also released as a budget title, but it seems to be out of print, so perhaps tracking down the region-free release will prove troublesome.  Should&#8217;ve bought it years ago.  <\/p>\n<p><b>DoDonPachi: Saidaioujou<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ddp-sdoj.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ddp-sdoj-e1377433037928-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"ddp-sdoj\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1452\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAh, this is the reason this list even exists.  I love me some <b>DDP<\/b> and the fourth entry into the series <b>DoDonPachi: Dai-Ou-Jou<\/b> made my <a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/best\/games\/\">favorite games ever list<\/a>.

While this one is still expensive, it&#8217;s still easy to find.  Despite the price, this is a priority.  I <b>will<\/b> get this game&#8230;eventually.  <\/p>\n<p>Shooters have been among my favorites since the old arcade and Turbo-Grafx 16 days.
