If I could get those at the price you paid for them, I'd totally own them.

I've met a lot of celebrities at E3 and PAX. Gary Coleman, Evil Kenevel, the lady who was Agent Scully on X-Files, some female wrestler, the guy who played Lando in Star Wars, etc.
Round One is such a great arcade.
Haven't even started it yet. Very busy. :)
LIke the others on your list so far, I only rented this one. I was never very good at Contra, but I enjoyed playing this with friends when we'd rent it.
I wish I had time to play more RPGs like this.
I reviewed Blazing Chrome last year:

FF9 is one of my favorte FF games as well. It's what FF7 and FF8 should've been.
Like Darius Twin, I only rentd Super Castlevania IV a couple of times. I was never a big Castlevania person, but I liked the SNES so much I was willing to give a lot of games more of a chance on that system. The thing that impressed me the most about the game (and most SNES games in general) is the sound. Very good music on the SNES!

Oh man, I love Darius. I think it's my favorite shooter series. I first played it in the arcade, and while it was pretty standard gameplay-wise, the fact that it was three screens long (like the X-Men and Tecmo Bowl arcade games), made it stand out. Darius also has one of my favorite video game themes of all time: the stage 1 music titled "Captain NEO." Look it up sometime if you'd like to hear it.
So when Darius Twin came out on the SNES, I was very excited, but I never owned it. I just rented it. I was just a high school kid with a limited income, so I rented a lot of games back then. Playing a game for a weekend for a buck was a lot more appealing than plunking down 40 or 50 bucks for it. I remember when I rented Darius Twin, I beat it pretty quickly, which is rare for me and shooters!
I didn't know there was a Darius collection coming out. Which suprrises me because I get Taito's press releases. One of my favorite games in the series is G-Darius on the PSOne. Have you ever played that one? I've also played the newest Darius game in the arcade. It's called DariusBurst and is four player with a long screen like the original.
