Yea. I hear that. PSP has a pretty weak collection. I'd just pandora battery it and call it a day. I love gadgets but i hardly use them. I have a ds and maybe played it for a total of 15 hours out of the 2 years ive had it. I have that "chipped". I have a cowon a2 pmp which i love but i don't go on trips enough to use it. I have a usb mp3 player in my car which takes care of any musical needs i may have. Ug. I'm a mess.

This game is one hell of a bitch!, although i have no idea why the Raiden series became so popular when Twin Cobra came out years before with Raiden just being a copy of it with a jet and not a helicopter, and the fact that after you lose a life that not only do you lose ALL your power ups but it pushes you a few screens back so you have to fight through the same horde of enemies all over again. Frustrating little game for sure

My Score 93,800

@blade: Welcome back!
There is a hidden fairy in the first stage (probably in later stages, too) you can find by shooting (right side - over a river). Collecting her gives you 10k points and when you die you'll get 2 weapon powerups, 1 missile-powerup and 2 bombs.

@xpect: Yes, it's kind of a waste and very bulky. Still sometimes I can just start up an emulator and play something (while waiting in the car for example). I'd like to have an MP3-player in my car like TF (just have a single CD-player).

Biscuit, you make a good point and Toaplan made some tough games.

John - you need to get usb baby! well, that is if you don't already. If I were into music (buying cds every week, going to concerts every weekend) like i use to be, the usb mp3 player would have changed my life. Still, it's nice to have.

Did that invite get to you? they expire in 3 days. I still show 10 invites on my list, but i sent it ...

Yeah, it's a pretty annoying thing that the hi-score doesn't show up after you are dead. You have to be pretty quick to make the screenshot, so it's okay for now. I think you can press pause once you died, but since I haven't played it yet (blame Breakpoint ) I don't know it for sure.

This is unbelievable crap! The game is way too difficult. The tokens are trying to avoid you running away from the ship. When you get killed you lose all the weapons. Yes, there is "an angel" thing but it does not help you much...

Arcade version is better. Not sure why this port makes you start over after dying.
