Allltynex First

[mjclark]

After spending many long hours configuring FM-Towns emulator UNZ, I've finally managed to start playing original Alltynex (aka Project Raid Wind 2) and I'm surprised to find that Alltynex Second really is a close remake of it. The levels and enemies have the same names and designs and the weapons systems are almost identical in each game (except original Alltynex has collectible powerups).
Should've guessed from the name really lol

this game has a wikipedia page, awesome

And there's a suicide bullet option in original Alltynex called "Reflect Attack" which explains why Suicide Bullet Mode in Alltynex Second is indicated by "Ref" in the replay data.
I guess this is one of those history things- Alltynex Second makes much more sense now I've played the original Alltynex, just like Strikers 1945 somehow made more sense after playing Sonic Wings.
To know where you're going, you've got to know where you've been, even in shmups

On a retro-japanese kick at the moment so reviving this thread to see if anyone's actually played Alltynex- Raid Wind 2 here.
Graphics: Excellent
Gameplay: Excellent
Place In Shmup History: Excellent
What do you think?

Bumping for great justice; any tutorial on how running this game on UNZ? Keep getting black screen here.

hasn't this (all three of them in fact) just had a revamp and is coming to steam shortly?
