gerwalk25 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Can anyone recommend some good shmups for SNES/SFC? I have Gradius 3, Axelay, Parodius 2, Pop 'n Twin-Bee and Hudson Soft Carnival Shooting Collection (Star Force, Star Soldier and Starship Hector).

David Hingtgen Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 SPACE MEGAFORCE. Must-play. Everything about it rocks--graphics, weapons, stages, and most of all---music. After that, Darius Twin and Super R-Type are both classics. I like Darius a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) Is it wrong that I want a song for Megaman 2 now? Strangely, this video reminds me of the song... Well, I think Capcom should hire the guy for Megaman 9 promotion. Rainbow Road... *twitch* 'Scuse me a minute. *pounds the stuffing out of a few SNES decks* Okay, I think I'm better now. Can anyone recommend some good shmups for SNES/SFC? I have Gradius 3, Axelay, Parodius 2, Pop 'n Twin-Bee and Hudson Soft Carnival Shooting Collection (Star Force, Star Soldier and Starship Hector). SNES isn't a very good shooter platform, really. Most of those wound up on the Genesis. It's got a few gems, though. If you like the Gradius games, Parodius is more or less the same thing, just on acid. Speaking of gems... SPACE MEGAFORCE. Must-play. Everything about it rocks--graphics, weapons, stages, and most of all---music. After that, Darius Twin and Super R-Type are both classics. I like Darius a lot more. Space Megaforce/Super Aleste does indeed rock on all levels. Compile + shooters = awesomeness. I must, however, respectfully disagree on one point. Super R-Type is ass, largely due to the omission of continue points. There's no reason why dying to the boss should send you right back to the start of the level. It makes for an atrociously bad port of the game, even if there aren't a lot of R-Type 2 ports to choose from. Just get a PlayStation and a copy of R-Types. That's all you need as far as the arcade versions go(unless you wanna do it right and get arcade boards, or leet warez rawmz and a copy of MAME). For the SNES, get R-Type 3 instead.

Black Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Can anyone recommend some good shmups for SNES/SFC? I have Gradius 3, Axelay, Parodius 2, Pop 'n Twin-Bee and Hudson Soft Carnival Shooting Collection (Star Force, Star Soldier and Starship Hector). The SFC/Snes have a very list of shooters, even more then the MD/Genesis, here`s my list : 1- Gradius 3. 2- Axelay. 3- Pop`n Twin Bee. 4- Darius Twin (very good OST). 5- Super R-Type (" " " ). 6- Super Aleste. 7- Macross SV. As for R-Type III its OK overall if you want a shooter console then don`t look futher ... PC-Engine. some its games are being remade for the PSP like this one.

JsARCLIGHT Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Anyone going to get Stalker:Clear Sky when it comes out next week? I'm debating it. The first one was buggy as a bait shop but the concept was interesting. If they found a way to cut down on the bugs but keep the concept it would make for a pretty cool game.

Duke Togo Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 So, I got around to snagging Bionic Commando Rearmed. Absolutely love it, high on the nostalgia factor. I have to say its a tad too easy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Same here. They made some odd changes to the game, such as making the neutral areas into Federation camps. That removed all the instances where you would run into Imperial characters. If they'd kept that in, they could have done some fun stuff with the dialogue there. They also turned the backgrounds into an overbuilt dystopian future, rather than the burned out wasteland the NES version gave the impression of. And they removed both Hal and the spy! I was sorry to see that. They could have played that out a lot better with the improved new dialogue they've got going in the game. Still, the improvements certainly outweighed my complaints. I don't think the game is all that easier than the NES game. Being able to save makes it seem a lot easier. I've been playing both versions pretty much constantly. ReArmed on my PC at home, and the original emulated on my DS when I'm out. Some things are actually a lot harder in ReArmed. Gottfried Groeder is much more difficult than his NES counterpart. All of the boss battles are, really. Haven't had a chance to finish that last level, though. The game chugs on my system (apparently it doesn't play well on single core machines, even if you've got the specs where it should play well) and I lost a videocard a few days ago, so no more SLi for me. I may upgrade my whole computer soon. I love the remixed soundtrack. So much so that I bought the soundtrack off of iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Anbody playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare? I was just curious since, it's become the rage here in my city. I tried it for a bit but turned away. The game has some good points and some bad points, but it depends on how you like your FPS's. GOOD + Great single-payer campaign / storyline. Like a good action movie. + Very good infantry oriented FPS. + Looks fabulous. + If you like CQB multiplayer maps, this game is great for it. BAD + Like most other SP campaigns on these types of games, absolutely linear storyline (can't be really helped, but it does annoy me). + Unless the devs have done something about it, if you like a great variety of multiplayer maps in terms of style, this game doesn't deliver. If you want a variety of more dense or open terrain, this game did not offer it. + Very good infantry oriented FPS at the cost of everything else. Maybe I've played too much BF2 / 2142 that had infantry, ground vehicles, air vehicles in the mix, but I did miss the wide scope in gameplay possibilities.

bsu legato Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 + Unless the devs have done something about it, The map editor for CoD4 has been out for ages now. There is a metric fart-ton of custom maps now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Spore. Its the game you get your girlfriend into so you have time to go play something more... serious. Or maybe your kids. If it was a Sims game, it would be considered light. Its certainly not at the level of a Sim(fill in the blank) game. I'm just flabbergasted that they spent that much time, and produced that much hype, yet have so little to show for it. It is, in a word, shallow. I am going to go back to shooting aliens and saving colonies from asteroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 been playing tales of vesperia. The real time combat is interesting and takes a little work to get good at. Only a couple of hours in but it's fun and I'm liking the characters, the main character is a sarcastic cynic but he's more or less emo free which is a refreshing change.

yellowlightman Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I started playing MS Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield recently (check out some videos here: http://insomnia.ac/japan/the_dome_screen/ ) and I'm starting to get hooked. It's expensive as hell... 500yen for two games, although the impressive presentation kind of justifies it. The game itself is a pretty simple game, but you accumulate points and unlock new mobile suits and new armor so it's enough to keep people coming back to it, I guess. Over a year old and still regularly played, it isn't uncommon to see people waiting to play it... so I guess it's been a pretty decent success.

Black Valkyrie Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Gradius Rebirth is based on the MSX Gradius 1, 2 & 2 : Episode-II (no 3 in MSX) and of course with improvements.

The game has some good points and some bad points, but it depends on how you like your FPS's. This was out since last fall? Darn, I'm really behind when it comes to video games. Anyways managed to play the single player mode just yesterday and..... THIS GAME WAS AWESOME!!!! I mean the first time I played my jaw just dropped to the floor at the graphics. I was like OMGWTFBBQPWN!!! The weapon details were fairly accurate, IMHO. However, what was the most awesome part of this game for me personally was the AC-130 Level. Yes, not much "eye candy," but seeing little black & white people people getting blown away with the 105mm cannon was AWESOME!!!! BTW....I loved the SAS missions though more than the USMC missions, but I don't know why. Also one of the earlier USMC missions (the one were they search for Al-Hasad at the T.V. station) really gave me the Black Hawk Down (The movie NOT the game) vibes. Managed to finish the game in NORMAL in under 6 hours. Edited September 9, 2008 by grss1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
