I'm Bad at G-Darius

I saw a copy of Taito Legends II at Gamestop a few days ago and snatched it up for $15. The price was more then a deal. I'd pay more then that for G-Darius alone. There are 39 games total. The shooters included are:
  • Darius Gaiden
  • G-Darius
  • Gekirindan
  • Grid Seeker
  • Gun & Frontier
  • Insector X
  • Metal Black
  • Ray Storm
  • Space Invaders '95
  • Space Invaders DX
  • Space Invaders '91
There are problems with a few of the games in Taito Legends II. An example is Metal Black. The MAX Beam can be either focused or unfocused. If you release the MAX Beam button to unfocus the beam, it won't refocus if you hold the button down again. Some will not like it but I assume most will be able to forgive and work around the problems because you get so much for your $15.

Many of the games are emulated in MAME, but you also get G-Darius and RayStorm, so there's still something there for those of us who have no qualms about using ROMs of long forgotten arcade games.
