As the thread title suggests, how do I get my hands on this game/machine? Is it expensive and how hard is it to get?
If you want to play it legit, you'd have to either go to an arcade that has the game or look for the HDD+Decryption USB, a TAITO TYPE-X and possibly a converter for the controls too if your input method doesn't support JVS. Just to note though getting your hands on the hardware isn't easy and is VERY expensive (easily getting into the thousands of pounds/dollars/euros for the hard drive alone.)
