I thought it was really awesome and interesting.

Holy cow, I didn't even notice that all the games mentioned were horizontal.Cugel wrote:The site is composed of three long pages: Horizontal shmups, Vertical shmups, and Best of the Rest. The links are all the way at the bottom. It's bad navigation putting the links all the way at the bottom of a really long page.
They include MUSHA and Fireshark in the Vertical shmups section. I would say it's a rather complete listing including iffy and pseudo shmups in the Best of the Rest page.
How are you playing this game? Through emulation?alpha5099 wrote: Incidentally, I tried out Fire Mustang and I really like it, so the site has definitely served its purpose.

The site, Sega-16, has a similar featured article outlining the run'n'gunners on the Genesis. Written by the same guy. This should satisfy your need for Ranger X:tehkao wrote:Why no Ranger-X? That game is about as much a borderline shmup as Atomic Robo-Kid and Subterrania are.

Thanks!alpha5099 wrote:Alright, I've read through it all now, and yes, very comprehensive.
I didn't realize I had included Twinkle Tale. Fixed!He's inconsitent about his so-called Forgotten Five. When he first mentions them, he says they are GleyLancer, Eliminate Down, BattleMania 2, Panorama Cotton, and Undead Line. In his synopsis of Twinkle Tale, he also refers to it as a member of the Forgotten Five.
Not true.And at least two (PC and BM2) are said to be the most expensive
Thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate the kind words.Probably the most expensive of the "Forgotten Five" after Panorama Cotton, this is one of those games that is actually worth its price.
Are you using Gens? And do you have the confirmed working ROM?overdrive wrote:my emu can't handle Magic Girl that well (blank gray backgrounds).
It's true. I was huge SNES kid when the war was going on, but in the last three or four years it's become clear to me that the Genesis was THE system of that era. SNES had the colors and the RPG's but Genesis was the hardcore kids system of choice then and now. If it came down to it, you could melt my SNES collection to a puddle if it meant keeping even a few of my Genesis games.tehkao wrote:What I like about that site is that after reading it, you realize how much of a joke the "Genesis vs SNES" wars really was. It's so obvious that the Genesis absolutely raped the SNES in almost every possible genre, except MAYBE RPGs.
Extras as in interviews, artwork, flyers, etc. That the individual games have a few tiny in-game bonuses isn't the same as what Atari and Midway have offered in their collections for the same price.BrianC wrote:The SEGA Classics Collection review at the site has a major error in it.

Extras are extras and the review made it sound like the SEGA collection has no extras at all. I also get the impression that you didn't unlock all of the extras in Fantasy Zone. IMO, it's the gameplay that's important, not the extras anyway. I hardly use the extras in the Midway and Atari collections.Melf wrote:Extras as in interviews, artwork, flyers, etc. That the individual games have a few tiny in-game bonuses isn't the same as what Atari and Midway have offered in their collections for the same price.BrianC wrote:The SEGA Classics Collection review at the site has a major error in it.
