Stargoose gets no love

Post by louisg »

I remember this game being somewhat notable back when it came out, but I haven't heard anybody mention it now for well over 15 years:

It's not the greatest game, and probably plays like less of a shmup than just an overhead plane game, but the 3d terrain and how it handles is pretty cool!

Was the cheapest game I ever bought for my Amiga. £2.99 from a games shop in Yorkshire while on holiday.

Worst 3 quid I ever spent on a game. Music was quite cool though.

Hmm I think my worst cheap purchase was $5 on PSX Viewpoint

It should be obvious how strongly I feel about this game.

The PSX version of Viewpoint isn't even worth 5 cents. I don't care for the changed soundtrack, and the frameskip kills it. The third boss battle is when the frameskip starts getting really bad and you end up with major bullet warping that makes it impossible to read his shot pattern. Ugh.
Kinect? KIN NOT.
