Hell yeah - love me some Qbert.

The Alex Kidd Remake was amazing - up there with the Dragon's Curse remake (but obviously the latter is a much better game).

The PSVR2 version w/ eye tracking is really impressive. It's like you're just thinking of where to shoot, and it happens lol.

Wow - awesome. Have fond memories of playing this game a bunch at my local bodega. This version BETTER HAVE THE UZI.

Looking forward to this, Humanity and C-Smash for PSVR2!

Hell yeah - the creator has some good taste

Nice write up!

As much as I love Dragon's Trap, I still have to give it to Wonder Boy in Monster Land as my all time fav. Playing this first on the SMS before Dragon's Trap certainly influences that choice, but i also felt it offered more of a challenge.

And my mind was blown with the sci-fi twist at the end (I was 13 at the time)!

Honestly though, there's not a bad game in the whole series. Pretty impressive accomplishment.

Always remember the Genesis game being pretty mediocre back in the day. Will have to boot this one back up and see what I missed.

Super bummed to find out (the hard way) that this isn’t compatible with PS5. My dreams of playing Moonrider with it have been decimated.

“Compatible with USB Enabled Devices” my ass.

This is one of the most depressing things I've read in a long time.

Greatest shmup series of all time. Can't wait for Branch and (hopefully) a port of Senjin!

Would be great if DotEmu took a stab at it, but i can’t imagine they’d tackle such an obscure IP after SoR4. Golden Axe is more likely.

Still - would love a remaster or remake. It’s a gem that doesn’t get enough credit.

The roll mechanic always reminds me of a precursor to the Souls games. Very new for its time!

@Banks Scooter of course! (Karen is a close second tho)

@SonOfDracula It's a cheat - see more here: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/zero-wing-red-screen-flashing.11780/

Any list that includes Alien Storm is a great list.

@SonOfDracula I wouldn't be surprised if they have an option to remove that. I know there's the option in MAME - M2 has to know it's an issue for some people.

@Gs69 All the versions (MD, PCE) should be included, if the past 2 M2 releases in the series are anything to go by.

I can see why they bundled these 2 games together - neither one of the them got a lot of ports AFAIK - unlike the previous 2 collections (Fire Shark and Tiger Heli).

Good to see M2 bringing back these collections!

If this is a PSVR2 game, this might make me preorder.

YES! Gimme that Judgement Silversword!
