More Ikaruga, less money
Xelotath | 12:16 AM on 02.13.2008 4 comments


So, it's been a while since I posted, but this one will be short anyway. Last week while searching for awesome overpriced stuff on ebay I saw it, Ikaruga for the Dreamcast, New and Still sealed. I bid on it but I lost the bid anyway. But I got an email from the seller telling me he had another one and he would sell it to me at the same price I bid the first time, and I bought it. I already own Ikaruga for the DC but it's only the cd so I won't open it. Ikaruga is awesome and just posting this makes me wanna play it, and I will. Thanks for reading a totally useless post of me being happy paying money for something I already have and won't use anyway, haha.

Time for the random video:

(It seems I can't display the youtube vid and only the link show up?)
Just how over the top can soccer/football get? It's from Touhou soccer and if you like it click on the video there is a lot more from different characters on youtube. As for the game itself, it's semi playable without Japanese knowledge but it's a lot of guess work/ memorization. I managed to play it but my game stopped to work. I guess only touhou fans will want to play it anyway.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I've got the same setup, actually. One sealed DC copy that I'll never open, and the GC version chilling in my Wii as we speak.

Same story with Rayman 2, oddly enough. Not necessarily because it's rare (it ain't), but because I fucking worship that game.

Now what are you still doing here? Start playin'!

i still have yet to try to play that damn game i keep hearing about. problem is, i was never that into shmups.

If you don't like shmups think of it like a puzzle game, a hardcore puzzle game. Everybody should at least try Ikaruga.

haha I know it blows when someone bids on something you want.

Hey also I have a project of opening a video game store maybe somewhere in Quebec (province)
