More GameSetLinks then, and I was pretty astounded to read the link below which has Hardcore Gaming 101 discussing the completely surreal (and rather obscure) Pu-Li-Ru-La from Taito - talk about hidden dada art action, hm?

Anyhow, very annoying that it's left off the U.S. version of Taito Legends 2 (which I just picked up, and is a great archive of classic Taito titles) - guessing it's something to do with the bizarre 'legs akimbo' art pictured in the HG101 article, which was altered for the U.S. arcade version. Oh well. Onward with plenty of other esoterica:

Again, some awesome screenshot-heavy researching from the HG101-ers - Kurt Kalata from the site has an article or two forthcoming on Gamasutra, by the way.

Meh, how about looking at the Gibson patent? Seems to be some kind of crazy VR headset silliness not inspired by Guitar Freaks.
