I had my PS2 Slim region modded and grabbed me a copy of Arika's excellent port of Espgaluda. Trilogy complete! I played it in MAME in the past, but now I'm naturally more invested and diving in.

Sega made an arcade game called The Ocean Hunter in 1998. It was never ported for home consoles or PC, but Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has a fully playable port in it! Would be fun if they did a standalone realease or include it in a collection one day 🦈
