I had a great time playing Dynamite Cop! with a friend. I haven't played Blue Stinger, Carrier or D2 yet, but I do love me some shitty survival horror games.

Yeah, I don't think there're any bad games on DC at all, only that some of them probably not gonna catch your interest at all due to their genre.

 

[Ikagura]

Phantasy Star Online even if Blue Burst exists.
