Sky Smasher

[mainpatr1]

I was on the MAWS website and the "random game" they had on there was a shmup called Sky Smasher by Nihon System. I downloaded the ROM for it and checked it out. It's basically a fasted-paced version of Twin Cobra, except instead of a bomb button, your ship shoots out eight missiles at once. Has anyone else even played this game?

Yeah I put a bit of time into it a while ago. It starts of decent but once you realise they just keep reusing bosses over and over and the fact the levels progressively get more boring you begin to notice just how shit it is.

So basically it's like a Compile shmup?

Nah, no one except Rob would call one of those "shit".

Never heard of this one myself though...

It may look a bit like it but it lacks the depth of Twin Cobra. Big time.

The Compile games at least have style and charm to them.

Sky Smasher just sucks hard balls.
