Toaplan Arcade Collection Vol 1 (New)

Playing Flying Shark on modern hardware feels so smooth, and having all eight shooters in one cart is a total steal for the price.

Batsugun alone justifies the price for me, but getting Dogyuun and Tiger Heli in the same package is just greedy in the best way. These are arcade-perfect ports, not the sloppy console versions I grew up with, and the save states finally let me see stages I never reached as a kid.

Out Zone and Fixeight were the two I'd never played before, and they've ended up eating most of my free time this week. The emulation feels spot on, no input lag that I can notice. Eight shmups in one package is a ridiculous amount of value.
