Favorite non-US games you've discovered?
« on: July 15, 2013, 12:14:52 pm »
For me MAME represents getting to play everything I actually played in arcades growing up. I might be unusual here, but I used a filter in Maximus Arcade to limit my selection to only the US games that I played. What fantastic games released only in Europe, Japan, or the "World" do you enjoy playing that were not released in the US?

TIA!

Baluba-Louk No Densetsu comes to mind. 



Meikyu Jima is another addictive one, if you enjoy puzzle-ish games. 



The latter showed up on NES in North America under the name Kickle Cubicle, but I'm not clear if there is an official North American arcade release out there.  There is a game that shows up in my ROMset called Kickle Cubele; not sure if that's just a type-o or what.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
