Have a look at my *original* designs for “Frantic Journey“!!

[Adigun A. Polack]

**SPLENDIDLY** dearest Na_th_an,

Hello to you and a _MOST_ blessed weekend to you and entire family, my guy!!! !!

I thank you **SO** much that you are truly encouraging me right along concerning my original enemy artwork for “Frantic Journey” (FJ), because I MOST CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT, PERIOD!! !!

As for the downloading of any game(s) at all (emulated from arcade originals such as Dragon Breed, Lethal Thunder, and even Salamander 2 and Mars Matrix, for instance!) for such arcade emulators as MAME, Raine, Shark, Final Burn, and Callus, no thanks on that, really, to be plain honest with you *completely*. And here’s the thing as to why: apparently, it is _TOTALLY_ illegal for me, you, and/or anybody else to even bother to download those games without *FIRST* owning the **actual** video arcade game that clearly matches the game (and in at least some cases, even the EXACT version of it, too!) that you are downloading for any one or more emulators. And that is the clear-cut reason why I am _never_ gonna even try such games as Dragon Breed, Nebulasray, and DonPachi on any emulator at all. EVER. Sorry.

But on the ***RATHER*** brighter side, Na_th_an, yes, I have tried out Darius Gaiden around over a year ago, only it was actually the *ORIGINAL* Windows 95/98 version!! And boy, you are right, my man, as it is one BRAVELY AND WILDLY GREAT game based on the original Taito arcade classic from 1994, full of _spectactular_ scaling, twisting, warping, and translucency effects, several different endings, ***AWESOME*** gameplay, a two-player simultaneous buy-in feature, and a whole lot more!!! !! Without any further adieu at all, do have a look at these following screenshots from the game itself:





You know where I was utterly fortunate to get this **RARE AND EVEN HARDER TO FIND** gem of a software product from? From Electronics Boutique, that’s where, where the game was bought **new** for ONLY $5!!! ( :o !!! ) Man, YOU JUST CANNOT EVEN DARE TO FIND A FLAT-OUT BETTER BARGAIN THAN THIS, believe me!!! !!! True story, believe it or not!

Finally, about Air Buster (Kaneko/Namco; arcade), you are ABSOLUTELY right that it was *originally* made in 1990 for the arcades. Goes to show how well you know your games, Na_th_an! !

Well, see you again for now and thank you for your DELIGHTFULLY WONDERFUL time, my man!!! !!!



BRINGING YOU SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE **NOT** EVEN SEEN YET,

Talk about an awesome play **right there** if you ask me!!! :king: !!
