Golly I am too. I'm rather liking it so far, but the bosses are killer.

Holy crap that's so weird, me too. I'm sucking pretty badly though and there's already a crazy score posted in the scores thread. Oh well, at least I'll probably end up trying games I haven't played before and I contributed a neat banner. :lol:

You mean the guy who got to the second loop? Yeah, that was pretty nuts.

I picked up Parodius Portable for the PSP. It seems pretty neat. Still trying to figure out things since it's in Japanese. I'll have to look at some walkthroughs to try to understand the game. The first thing I found is that there is no walkthrough for Parodius Portable since it's a collection of Parodius games.

Any Parodius PSP fans here?

Are they set up like the PS and Saturn Deluxe Packs where you just have a main title to pick the game and then you're in the game with its own options? If so you might just be able to look guides for those to see what the menu options all are.

I'm a Parodius GB fan, if that counts?

Just downloaded Aegis Wing and 1942: Joint Strike off XBLA last night. Both are fun games, especially 1942. Always liked that series :)
