Umm, I would have to disagree on this one. I mean, I only played it for the first time earlier this year, but it was pretty bad. | I'll not hear such things! It's one of the most beautiful games on the SNES (it really pushes all the different modes and such), and it's far more playable than you might imagine on a first run. I didn't have it as a kid, so I'm not looking back through rose-tinted glasses, either. I'd encourage you to set aside an hour or so and give it another go (definitely on real hardware rather than emulation, too). |
Not only have I given it more than an hour of my time, but on a couple of occasions, and on the real hardware. The mode7 stages are just really, really terrible. The only games that I have ever played that have effectively pulled off a balanced skewed vertical overhead perspective (that I have played) are the RaySeries games. _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

Nanostray did a decent enough job at the whole skewed-vertical thing, too. |

umm no. It is not balanced well at all. That is why you get a life bar on top of ships. The game has sever ballance issues and it is just plain bland at many points. Very dissapointing, even more so than Iridion II. _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

Chiming in on the good SMS games meta-topic:
(some games already noted)
All the Wonderboy games (including the oft-overlooked first one)
Psycho Fox (Though the heavy inertia in the game is pretty jarring to people not used to these kind of platformers)
Kung Fu Kid (Spartan X with heavier platforming element and inventive bosses)
Power Strike (early bullet hell with interesting and varied weapon upgrades) |

Gosh.
I sound like a complete asshole in every post I made in this thread.
Except for this one. _________________
