Rob's Complete list of SNES shmups.

[Samildanach]

It can't be that Garish. I've played the AGES port of AC a ton, and while I knew some stages had been changed from III, I didn't know which ones.

Haides (moving cave) and Ellis (snow stage). TF2 stage looks pretty much like how it does in TF2 and it seems to be based on the MD version of the stage, not the X68000 version.

edit: I was mistaken about the stage looking just like it does in TF2. It is based off the MD version, but the graphics were actually touched up a slight bit.

The TF2 stage in TFAC is a mash up of the 3-2 and 4-2 stages, with a load of enemies from stage 1-2. I agree the temple stonework has some extra detail (it looks slightly more ruinous), but it was the enemies that looked less detailed than with the enemies in other stages (to my eye anyway).

R-type i have the same on GBA, so not intrested to play here.

R-Type III on GBA is not the same as on SNES. It's a terrible port.

Ah you are right, i just checked the ROM, it is different.

Steel Empire - 3/10
Fire Shark - 3/10
Truxton - 3/10
Twin Cobra - 3/10

I don't recall enough many mediocre Genesis shooters, so I'd say this is more top heavy than it would be complete (ex. I know Curse, Darwin 2040, Vapor Trail, etc. suck, but I can't recall how much they suck).

Seeing how I put TT on this list, add Pocky & Rocky (8/10) to the other list.

Great MD list that rob

I'm under the impression that the stages may have been changed at the last minute in TFAC. The high score screen still lists the TFIII names for the changed stages and a more polished version of the asteroid song is a hidden omake in TFIV.

You may be right. The second new level is really just a mash up of Thunder Force II assets. They didn't make any attempt to improve on the rather basic TFII enemy models, and they do stick out in their garish colours and simplicity compared to the rest of the game.

It can't be that Garish. I've played the AGES port of AC a ton, and while I knew some stages had been changed from III, I didn't know which ones.
