Isn't this the sequel to Esprade which is emulated in Mame?

Looks very similar graphically & are both developed by Cave.

They also look similar to to Shikigami No Shiro 1 & 2. Both series have flying magicians shooting at magical mechs & stuff. Any chance the 2 series link in some way?

Are Espgaluda & Shikigami No Shiro 1 & 2 released for the arcades aswell?

OK.
Galuda is running on the PGM hardware surprisingly.

Shikigami No Shiro was on the Taito Gnet system (I kept thinking it was Naomi).

Shikigami No Shiro 2 was on the Naomi GD rom system

However...
What's this "MOBILE LIGHT FORCE 2" with Charlie's Angels?
Is it Shikigami No Shiro Part 1 or part 2?

ign says it's part 1 but i'm not sure?
Is it a good port?

I got "Mobile Light Force 1" & it's basically a Sengoku Ace port without the cool psikyo character intro & ending.

I'm comfused...
Is Mobile Light Force 2, Shikigami No Shiro 1 or 2?
Have they cut anything in MLF2 compared to the Jap version?


In Japan they're released with their real names:

Mobile Light Force 2 is the butchered, basterdized US release of Shikigami no Shiro. From what I've read the core gameplay is still intact, but XS pretty much fucked up the rest (like the cover, *shudder*). It is cheap though, if you can find it. Shikigami no Shiro 2 was released in the US as Castle Shikigami 2. The cutscenes have the worst english dub I've ever heard (thankfully they can be skipped or turned off completely), but otherwise the game is awesome.

It takes a lot to make me not want to talk about my favorite genre and some of my favorite entries into it, but you've done the impossible. Die.
