Yesterday i got my hands on a second hand Playstation 2... one of these days i might buy a console when it's current again! Along with the machine we picked up four games for a tenner from Gamestation and i was more than a little happy when my beloved found Strikers 1945 1/2 with a deal sticker on it! Since then i've added Steel Dragon EX (which comes with the original 2D Steel Dragon and that in turn surprised the hell out of me by being Gekoih: Shooting King under another name!) to my collection from another Gamestation and have a selection of 2D and 2.5D shoot 'em ups courtesy of eBay and Amazon on the way including Psyvariar, R-Type Final and Gradius V. i'm therefore rather happy today!
The irony of buying a PS2 and then stocking up on mostly 2D games hasn't escaped me, by the way... we did get some other stuff but that was for the kids!

The Gamestation 4 for £10 offer is incredible.
I also enjoy picking up old PS2 games, recent purchases included We Love Katamari.
