yeah, that 'flyer' is absolutely 100% AI shit. Please print off my 1st post & set fire to it The how to play card (real) is branded as Sigma & dated 1984 but the game was ultimately released by Taito in June 1985. Could the change in publisher be why there's no promo art?

This 'flyer' is almost certainly AI generated shit. A real one doesn't seem to exist. Please ignore it Here's the how to play card with the correct date on it, which should be real, if not very exciting

2 games for the price of one, a golden Moai, a Space Yeti (or the mis-spelled iety depending on which version you play), power ups, a tough challenge or a much more lenient one, a jet powered space surfboard when you clear a stage. All sorts of things And it's a very fun time. Read more below👇

This week's Arcade Archives release is Exzisus, Taito's 1987 hori shmup. Upgrade Cosmo Fighter Robin with option ships and a fighter jet mode to save the 4th Galaxy! Includes single-screen and two-layer versions with transparency effects! Dreamwidth post! tepidsnake.dreamwidth.org/48752.html

Managed to get 6th in the dual screen version of the Exzisus Caravan Mode this week. Didn't have time to try out the single screen version Excellent little game with no down time & a 1st loop that even beginners can learn to get to grips with

Me in 6th place of the Exzisus 2-screen Caravan

Yes, one of my favourite little things in the series! I especially like the difference in expression between her Slash and Bust versions in IV. My introduction to it, as with all things, was SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium which changed her win quotes too~

Also, if you can disarm her, Mamahaha will fly down & sit on her sword until she retrieves it. Useless hawk but at least she hangs around, unlike the glitch where you can launch her off-screen & she doesn't come back (vid of that currently lost to the twitter void)

Speaking of Nakoruru, I remembered this last night when watching the Neo Geo Pocket SamSho's being played on stream From the very 1st SamSho, there was a different Nako before she was branched off into a completely separate & then entirely different character later on in the series

old tweet showing the 2 versions of Nakoruru, the purple one only appears as different in her victory screen of SamSho1 where she has lighter hair, darker skin & an impish grin

For #OSThursday... A Samurai Shodown classic here, Nakoruru's theme has shown up in other games but the first version has a haunting quality to it. Must be those drums and the slightly downbeat feel of it... Nature's wrath is on its way, pal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnnn...

Both versions of the game are included & the 2-layer screen version works really well as they've given all of the foreground sprites an adjustable layer of transparency so you can see through them, like a reflection on glass, which is akin to how they were seen on the real cabinet

As previously announced a few weeks ago, todays Arcade Archives release is Taito 1987 STG Exzisus. I believe both variants of the game will be included #イグジーザス #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ #タイトー

enemy placements & the way missiles & some power ups work are completely different. The later, normal screen version is pretty much a remix with a bit more of a challenge to the initial gameplay as the dual mirror game's 1st loop is pretty easy for anyone to clear

GSK | ALL CITY SLOP SHOP (ETA SOON)@allcityslopshop.com · last wk.

it'll also include the single-screen version, which did show up on some of the '00s-era Taito comps; they're largely the same bar the parallax gimmick afaik

In 1992 TRY could sell you a used Exzisus PCB for 15,000円. Thanks to Hamster, we can play the game at home for much less now Arcade collectors are advised to not read the other prices you could have bought your PCBs for back then, as it may lead to depression

I guess if Hamster are paying attention to the current Calice Cup 'Le Jank Shoot Show' event we might end up with Taito's bootleg Godzilla game, Korea's Diet Family, Sega's Sonic Boom or Spanish jank El Fin Del Tiempo in the future but for now, we have the not jank Exzisus incoming tomorrow

I guess Hamster were paying attention to the recent Calice Cup🤔 Exzisus is coming to Arcade Archives on Nov 11th & will include both versions (we were playing the dedicated dual monitor version which starts of a lot easier, the normal version is a more fleshed out game'
