DC Run=Dim First Limited Edition

$53

 
   In the year 2052, global warming has melted the polar ice caps and entire land masses plunge under the swells of newborn water. Charged with the task of saving what's left of the economy, you and a team of techs develop mecha to help achieve salvation. History teaches us that war usually helps beleaguered economies; mobilizing the machine, if you will to ward off recession. Dubbed RBs, the mechs you create may be customized to higher performance levels and sent into simulated battle against other RBs. Dissimilar to other mech fighting games, you only give instructions to your RB, never taking actual control of it in battle. Tweaking, tuning, and bolting on new parts eventually creates the ultimate RB, which also means you win the game.  
DC Shenmue 2 Limited Edition 

$68

 
   Ryo Hazuki, martial arts master trained in the Hazuki Style, continues his quest of vengeance against Lan Di. Lan's the bruiser who croaked Ryo's father Iwao in the first chapter on his mad bid to recover the Phoenix Mirror. Shenmue 2 opens up in Hong Kong and Ryo eventually winds his way through three other major locales and meets a group of new characters who will either help or hinder his adventure. 
   The first limited edition of Shenmue 2 includes a cinema disc which contains footage of Sega's Virtua Fighter 4 coin-op, built on Naomi 2 hardware. A decorative slipcase for the game houses the cinema disc, the Shenmue 2 game, and a Virtua Fighter 4 Passport disc.  
 
DC Zero Gunner 2

$53

 
   When it comes to Psikyo's latest JAMMA kits at NCS, the routine goes a little like this: Buy first, ask later, and damn the cost. There have been some misgivings and regrets through the years but Zero Gunner 2 was worthy back then. Lucky DC owners now get to nab their own ZG2 "machine" to the tune of a trifling US$53 and enjoy one of the better playing shooters out there. Everything ports over from the arcade original intact, from the mega bosses, the squadrons of glittering enemies, and the superb gameplay. The playfield allows movement in 360° and blasting in the same degree; a fair game system never overpowers you with screen-filled buckshot and godly skilled players can probably rage through the game on a single copter. Highly recommended for shooter fans.
