...so to get your shmup fix, here's one new book from HG101 which fill your needs: Konami Shooters!

I just received it and it's really good, same layout than the sega arcade book. Think I'm gonna play Sexy Parodius tonight :)

Thanks for the heads up. Money's a little tight at the moment so I'm afraid I'll skip on this one for now, but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who'll like this. Hopefully it'll show up in a future game-themed StoryBundle.

I've recently discovered Parodius series, pretty amusing.

I bet it was Sexy Parodius that got you hooked.

You should also thank tauto who thinks that he does a disservice to the community by necroing threads. ;)

Well, the necroing came up at the right time as I received the latest book from HG101 yesterday in my mail box:

Data East Arcade Classics

Like the title says, it's all about good old arcade games :)

The best Parodius.
