If you can make arrangements to play Pokemon Snap, I'd highly recommend it. It's not a very long game and there's not much to it, but it was definitely an interesting game especially for the time. I think it was even slightly educational as it teaches basic photography skills like making sure the subject is in the center of the frame, facing the camera, etc.
Cross Code is good, I just couldn't get into it for some reason. It's not the game's fault. Sometimes you're just not in the right mindset to enjoy a certain game at a certain time, you know?
The orginal Darius arcade cabinet was so cool. It was three screens long, so it was very wide and would definitely get your attention. Have you ever seen Tecmo Bowl in the arcade? It was kind of like that, but wider. Actually, did you ever see The NInja Warriors in the arcade? That was pretty much the same cabinet, too, since it was also made by Taito. The last Darius game, Dariusburst, also used one big wide screen and it was FOUR players! I think it was even wider than Darius and had a big bench you had to scoot down to make room for everyone. I'm glad I got to play it in an arcade once. I think it was Japan only.
