I am new to theese type of shmups, when people just say Twin Bee, which of the games do they mean?

 

[cliff_poole]

It looks like Yahoo which is a later sequel. I think it was still pretty new when I started collecting. Never saw any of them in the wild and they only came to my attention because of later console releases. Maybe I just like them because they are Konami shooters and the original came out about the same time as Nemesis. Parodius has a load of Twin Bee references.

Today I recived a minty fresh oddball.

I've never even heard of that. Just been watching video of it on youtube. It sounds like Nemesis, especially when your character jumps on the skulls.

Ha!! To be fair, I'd eaten half of the fish before I decided to post my childish comment, and I'd also bought the dog a Jumbo Sausage...

 

[TheDaddy]

Haha could just eat that now be fair !

Dave.

 

[Vorbis]

Glad to know I'm not the only sucker that always gets his dog a jumbo sausage when buying fish & chips

Where did you get that from? I haven't seen them for sale outside of the US.

Technically it's still from the US, but I grabbed it from Digikey.co.uk here:

I like these as they are 51mm diameter like the original, also they are higher rated so they should be good for many years.

It's free shipping for orders over £33.00 as I brought some other components I needed.

Japanese Kasco Bank Robbers!! Anyone know much about Kasco or their stuff?
The insides could do with a clean up but it’s a really cool Gun Game which has Hologram targets.

We used to have both Kasco Bank Robbers and Gun Smoke, super cool machines, we sold them including loads of nos spar parts back to Japan after spending its whole life in scandinavia.

Sadly dont know much about them more than they are really really cool!
