Yay Star Goose.

Great shump for greatest shmup?

Tip for longtime shooter fans:
In this game, eyeballs are your chums - instead of shooting them to make the boss explode, you collect them to replenish fuel, shields and ammo.
IGMO - Poorly emulated, never beaten.

I, obviously, love Star Goose.

I especially like how the 3D background actually effects game play. You can use it as cover to avoid enemy shots or slip above or below them.

Those parts with the eyeballs remind me of the Bonus Rounds in Earthworm Jim.

Why did I write 'for' instead of 'or'? That is the mystery of Star Goose.

Those missile launchers are fucking cheap. Anybody know how to deal with them in a way that doesn't involve prescience?
