Hi there!

 

Taito Memories Volume 2 for the PSP will include updated versions of both Crazy Balloon and Balloon Bomber!

 

Wow!

 

Hm... you're sure it'll be on the PSP as well? Just asking, because you linked the PS2 version?

 

Greetings,

Sorry I was getting confused there and posted the wrong link! I read about this in the relaunched Retro Gamer magazine and I though you would be impressed It will be called "Taito Memories Pocket" on the PSP. It is currently scheduled for a January release in Japan, but I'm not sure if/when it will be released in Europe. Unfortunately I am struggling to find a link that is not in Japanese. You can just about make out the Crazy Balloon screenshot in this image.

 

Edit: This link is better...

Wow²! This looks absolutely gorgeous! What an amazing package! I sure hope it's going to make it all the way to Europe!

 

The list is very interesting:

 

- Crazy Balloon & Crazy Balloon 2005

Would be cool to have this on a portable. And I'm also dead curious about the revamped version!

 

- Balloon Bomber & Lunar Rescue

Could've lived without those. I played them on MAME too much I guess

 

- QIX

Ok, giving it another try...

 

-Alps Ski

-Elevator Action

-Chacconpoppu

-kage no densetsu

Chack'n'Pop and Legend of Kage I assume. Well, all definite classics.

 

-Fairy Land Story

-Strange World

-Kurikinton

-Ray Maze

Never seen or heard of them before. Should be interesting discoveries!

 

- Rasutan Saga

- New Zealand Story

- Cameltry

 

Also classics worth having!

 

- Rainbow Island Extra

Definitely the highlight of the compilation (depending a bit on what "extra" means... ) Makes you wonder why they didn't fit Bubble Bobble inbetween that and Chack'n'Pop...

 

- Balloon Bomber 2005

- Cameltry 2005

 

More revamps, cool!

 

This is really looking fabulous!

-Fairy Land Story

I think that's one of the games I was playing a few months ago when I was perusing old arcade games on KLOV and playing anything that looked interesting in MAME.

 

I really liked it; kind of a weird, fairy-land bubble-bobble type game. Actually, now that I am remembering, it is basically a Bubble Bobble ripoff. Just without bubbles.

Ah, always cool to do that! I'm still busy with it as well, though I'm currently stuck in 1980 with Rally X. Cool game!

I found it now in MAME. Need to check that out! Kurikinton is also MAME'd, but I'm not sure about the other 2. Probably under different names...
