I am all fucking over it, baby. I actually went on my vacation to pick up a copy as I thought it came out last week. I grabbed Capcom Legends instead, but I will be sure to snag this on the first day. Zoo Keeper, Elevator Action, and Rastan are three of my all time favorite games. Plus I haven't played Gladiator since I was a kid.

God bless Taito.

I wanted to snag this on the first day, but for whatever reason most places did not get any copies until Friday. None the less, I grabbed a copy yesterday. I've only had time to play Zoo Keeper a couple times, but so far it kicks ass. There's a little bit of a slowdown when there are 20+ things going on at once, but it's not bad. It's not like SNES slowdown or anything.

For 1982, that game was so ahead of it's time that it's not funny.

i'm really looking forward to this but i'll probably wait till xmas. the arcade machines are taking up pretty much all my (almost non-existant) game time.
