I'm in the mood for some BIO GAX.

Despite playing scads of shooters, I still feel a pain in my chest-- yes, my heart aches for Bio Gax. http://shmups.classicgaming.gamespy.com ... index.html

So, where can I play this 8 of a game? I want to hear the music that rocks to the extreme! I want to pilot the Bio Hamster Ship and master it's multi directional shot. I want to combat the Tumors!of cancer..

I poked around with Google but no luck. If anyone knows where to find this gem, please let me know! Or, feel free to share your personal Bio Gax stories.

This JV Games? ... I'm not entirely sure what to think about all this. I mean, JV Games looks like a rather well-established game company (despite their games consisting of WD-40 spraying simulators) and they crank out a game like Bio Gax in 2003?

Well, I'll send 'em an email regardless. I expect either no response or a "what the hell are you talking about" email back.

I'll let you know the results because I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seat about the mysteries surrounding Bio Gax

If they did make it, they probabally refer to it as "The Incident" .. >_>

I doubt they have anything to do with BioGax. Hint: Look at the initials of the "reviewer". Clearly someone used shmups.com to promote his homebrew project and it somehow slipped past Malc's content control.

Indeed, Herr Schatten, you are correct. I emailed that JV Games and I got a "thanks for the comments, but that's not our game.

" reply. I was guessing Bio Gax was maybe the result of one of the developers' kids or something along those lines-- y'know like the kid asks dad/mom/whatever to help develop a little game.

Alas, it was probably someone's first Game Maker project that was never finished.

Looks like Game Maker garbage. If it doesn't say Nintendo or Sega all over it, it is some poor quality ripoff game by a 15 year old.

Yeah. It´s highly unlikely Konami gives any company permission to use sprite rips from Aria Of Sorrow in their games.
