Hint 1: again it's 573

Hint 2: if one would browse "573"'s alphabetical release list, this game would be seen pretty high on top of the list.

Sorry to keep ya'll waiting. Time zone issues. And that is Gemini Wing, such a great game.

Ok, look people, it is not that difficult ok?

Follow me:

GUESSING RIGHT is good. It's nice. It means that you know the game and you're cool. It's the aim of this game. Guessing. It's a guessing game.
It is also cool that you jump in the thread and snipe-guess. Timing sometimes is crucial.

But guessing right is NOT ENOUGH to play this game.
As per game rules, if you guess right and you don't post another picture, you're stalling the game and noone can play until you post the next image.
Please re-read the rules on top of this thread, especially rules 8 and 9.
If you snipe-guessed, you can take up to AN HOUR to post another image. You're not required to post it immediately, or in the same post where you wrote your answer.

It's not hard. It takes a couple of minutes to think of a shmup and post a screen to keep the ball rolling.

Questions?

Anyone?

Cool

Let's roll! Next game:

sure

It came out for (at least:)
Commodore 64
Colecovision
Intellivision
Atari VCS

AND it's not a "hori shmup" neither is a "vert shmup" although your ship fires "upward", or should i say, towards the horizon. Honestly, It's a very well known game, albeit a bit "old", but surely more widely known than Gekirindan or flak attack!

Sadly, the name of the pic was a trap.
Have your forum friends join in the quest. It's really an easy game to guess.

This should be Beamrider then.

Right?
