There a CHD for this yet? I love scrolling shooters.

is this a dupe or a repost?

I've posted a video like this twice, but it never made it out of the queue. However, my video was of the last level. The video above is of the third-to-last level, I believe. This is the last level.

This is the Dreamcast version of Ikaruga, though the player (known as VTF-Ino) is using an arcade control plugin.

Anyway, it's about time this made it on the sift!

But is the CHD playable on PCs?

I don't believe it was ever released in arcade, only for Dreamcast and Gamecube.

Assuming you have the iso and a decent Dreamcast/Gamecube emulator, then yes, it would be playable on PCs.

Oh, I thought it was an arcade game. Won't find a MAME version then, but you can find the DC and GC versions on E-Bay. http://search.ebay.ca/ikaruga

(Still gonna keep my eyes peeled for a ROM)

You could always play Radiant Silvergun. It's by the same guys that did Ikaruga, though it's MUCH harder. (Ikaruga is the spiritual sequel to RSG.)

I believe Ant found a Mame version of RSG somewhere . . .
(I'd recommend the Saturn version though.)

Thanks for the info. I have a recent full MAME set, so I fired it up and there it was. I also have an X-Arcade controller and it plays pretty nice, but the sound isn't working too hot. Looks good, though. Hope the sound gets fixed in a future set.
