I played Ghost Pilots (again) and had a little bit of fun with it. I played Sky Adventure (again) and can't imagine how it's supposed to be the prequel to Ghost Pilots. It wasn't too terrible either. Ghost Pilots plays better, but it feels like somebody said "screw being creative, let's just rip off Flying Shark and call it a day."

I also tried Gaiares, didn't grab me. Didn't play much though.

Sky Kid, it's basic and it starts out gently, then roughs you up.

Parodius Da! on everything it can possibly have been ported to, as well as it's sequels.

Just found Raiden at a Godfather's Pizza in Canby, Oregon, USA. Bye-bye quarters.

Bloodreign · Post by **Bloodreign** » Sun May 13, 2007 3:56 am

Trigon, argh the pain, but the game's fair enough with it's checkpoints. Plays like Raiden, Fire Shark, or Twin Cobra, just with a jet (that plane kind of reminds me of the Raiden ship).
