... Yes. I'm pretty good at LB2. Power Amano is my best character. I'm pretty decent at EX/Speed Setsuna, EX/Speed Lee and EX/Speed Washizuka too.

Here's one, from Super Robot Wars Alpha 3: ... Basically the best intro ever.

Hard to emulate? No. No, it's not. Also, 1944: The Loop Master is from 2000, so it's not that old.

Try Cybattler and Hyper Duel. Blazing Star on the Neo Geo also is a good horizontal scroller. For a more frantic experience, I can't recommend Batsugun enough. It's placed right between old school shooters and more modern bullet hell shooters. Batsugun might not be up your alley, but it really...

Umberto Eco.

Right. "The medium is the message", as McLuhan stated. I'm supposed to be reading "Principles of Gestalt Psychology" by Kurt Koffka. Why don't I do that right now? Because I'm listening to the lecture series "The Neuroscience of Everyday Life" by Sam Wang at the moment.
