Kiaidan 00

Here is a Hori shooter I've had for a while but never finished. No idea why. It's a good shoot me up. I love Riot and Alpha Systems. Plus, it's published by Telenet. This game definitely pays homage to the classic Toei series like Mazinger Z and Grandizer. I believe there's around 7 stages.. Youight against armies of flying insectoid enemies and other space ships and humanoid robots. The robot you pilot can use different sort of weaponry, from standard blue spreading bullets, to green laser waves and even a sort of 'yoyo' attack. Stages have a standard structure with quite big end of level bosses. Your main weapon can also be charged and trigger a powerful and destructive attack. The game has nice graphics, decent music, and a good amount of cut scenes. Hope you all enjoy!

If you like 70's giant robot anime, Kiaidan (PCE SCD) and Geppy X (PSX) are the games to get!

Yeah, Geppy X is also pretty good on ps1.

A noice shewty!  This was one of the first games I successfully burned to CDR back in the day; since I've never bought a legit copy, I'll have to burn a fresh one this month.

Nice pick. Def a burn or EMU since prices just keep going up on this title.
