Visits to the arcade were pretty rare during my childhood. But whenever I got the chance to do so, I made it a point to watch other people play, especially those that were fighting games and shmups. It’s quite an enjoyable experience, and even as recent as 2 years ago, I spent more than half an hour in a Bangkok arcade watching a colleague beat King of Fighters.
While watching people play in arcades or even on Youtube might be fun, you can watch such footage on DVD. The Insanity DVD series features footage (of the superplay variety) from shmups and each DVD usually comes accompanied with the soundtrack CD for the games featured on the DVD disc along with extras such as booklets containing illustrations, settings data, audio CD timetable, comments and many more.
