I've never played it before, but I saw over on a programming forum that I visit that the makers of absolute blue have released the full version for free.

Technically, Absolute Blue is state of the art.
Of course, that's just an opinion.

The "free" download appears to lead to a "free" 404 page instead. That being said ..

I like how every single link on their "official website" is broken.

But the links are dead, so it's unplayable.

Oh, I get it.

I say, try before you bash. some games look very boring, but you never know till you try them out.

It's funny that I like Euromusic so much (yay European heavy metal!) but I can't stand Euroshmups.

Okay, it's not that funny. Sorry.

This. I mean, it's freeware now.

Downloading as I type and I'll give it a try soon. You never know. Steel Saviour got quite bashed but I ended up liking it a lot.

i playd this one about 4 years ago, when it was 1st released, and while i didnt like it that much (i HATED the reverse sections... or am i talkin about DoveZ?), the game is pretty much playable. give it a try and form a oppinion by yourselves... thats all i can say.

More or less playable, just don't pick up any weapons except your default one. They're absolutely useless.

Tried it and now I understand why Euroshmups are so derided. I mean there were one or two decent ideas but they were implemented really badly. Did people actually pay for this in the past?

Best bit about the game is the phrase 'Secondary weapon status: Inaktiv'.

is this the shmup where you start out with playing Space Invaders style and then move on to Galaxian style and so on, getting more modern as you progress?

No, that's Genetos.
