I love shmups but find gradius just a bit too difficult. I get it that M2 are genius at porting shmups but some of these titles are on the Konami Arcade Collection which goes on sale all the time and this collection is £30.
Growing up during the 80s no one i knew played RPG's. They were always perceived as a "geeks" type of game for those people that frequented Games Workshop and painted orks and stuff. Things changed i feel during the 90s with Playstation and in particular Final Fantasy 7 which felt like the genre opened up to everyone.
