In search for an old PC shmup....

Post by Gespenst »

So...I'm digging the remains of Shoot the Core archive and discover two (or maybe three) point of interests:
-The first is a free-roam shmup called "Takesh Pilot", but since the first time I visited STC site back in 2008 (or 2009, can't remember), there's no download link of it.
-The second ones is a hori that I can't remember the title, but I think it's a western ones (and it's free). The only thing I can remember is the screenshot in STC shows a large yellow enemy ship (either a boss or miniboss, I once played it ages ago, but it's long forgotten), or something like that. The graphic's similar to Hydorah (?), I think. At first, I thought it was Titan Omega Revelations, but that's not it.
update: ah, nevermind; just found it. Turn out it's named Battle Blade
-The third one is The Trapezohedron of Darkness (that one shmup with jazzy soundtracks and dash attacks), which I once played it back in the days before STC went missing/dead

Anyone can help me finding the shmups I'm talking about? :?:

I have The Trapezohedron of the Darkness. A bit boring, but playable.
Easy googling yields a working Vector download and a random lengthy blog post.

Ah yes, thanks. I'm still quite puzzled with that Takesh Pilot though. Could be wrong (since I hardly remember it), but from the STC screenshot it has an Astro Port-ish graphics style.
