Was Ketsui an original PGM game?

Yep Ketsui runs on a PGM board, along with EspGaluda and DoDonPachi DaiOuJou. The carts of these games floating around are boots.

There is a legit Dodonpachi on a PGM 1 cart, it’s Dodonpachi 2 Bee storm licensed to IGS who made a sequel using Dodonpachi graphics.

Play 2 win on Oxford st used to have that game in a cab.

DOj is a much later rerelease with an easy mode on PGM2.

Ketsui is the finest shooter ever in my opinion

I have had the original PCB a couple of times, as said above it’s the same pcb as Espgaluda and Dodonpachi DOJ use, which happens to be the same hardware in a different form as the IGS PGM cart system.

My Ketsui is now on a PGM cart, missed it too much but todays pcb prices are a bit much for me, plays exactly the same on the cart.

To the original poster, I can only think you had an Aliexpress conversion or is it was Dodonpachi 2 that was converted and may have had the Cave logo but defiantly no original cart release of Ketsui.

All of Caves shooters are above excellent, was playing Esprade and Guwange yesterday

How do the pgm boots play compared to the og pcbs?

I’ve asked this question before, but it was a while ago so forgive me if I’m wrong

I’m sure the answer was that they all play exactly as the OG PCB, but there’s a very minor sound (music looping maybe?!) issue on one level of DOJ.

Someone will correct me if that’s not right, but I’m fairly sure…

They should play the same, sound quality is allegedly better on the bootleg carts, more to do with the amp section on the PGM. Although both versions are mono only, I personally didn’t notice any differences in graphics, sound or gameplay.
