For shame, GAF! It's been days and I see not one thread about Cave's near-legendary horizontal shooter finally being emulated. Myself, I'm totally excited about it. As a euro, I don't exactly get a lot of chances to play Cave games the way they were meant to be played. I'll have to wait for emulation or console ports, and I've been waiting for Progear for years now. Finally!
Best part is, I'm loving the game so far. Awesome action, and...quirky bullet patterns. There's some annoying stuff -- like in most horis -- where shit will hit you from the back or something similar, but it's not too bad so far.
Still trying to figure out the scoring system, though (even though I'm sure it's been covered by someone who owns the PCB). I realize shooting stuff while holding the button down will let you gather any dropped gems if you let go, and that somehow bullets can turn into gems. Other than that, though, I'm not sure yet. Anyone else playing it?
