I actually am a little surprised at a few words said towards the guy, the most I can say is that he shouldn't be like "I'm too lazy to think of something I hate more than grind stormer so there." If thats the case come back when you're not "feeling lazy" and post something else you might hate more than Gen Grind Stormer.

That being said, the PCB blows the Gen port out of the water. I honestly thought there was only one serious possible answer I saw earlier in this topic which is this...thing. Can anyone explain wtf happened here?

I just got pissed off at him telling the mods to delete posts he didn't like. Buck up, this is the internet. It doesn't work that way.

And that video just burned my eyes. What the hell. Only one sprite?

As quoted from the youtube description:
youtube wrote:The game might only have been a gimmick in a gambling game, which was enabled by a secret button press to switch to for 'situations where it was deemed inappropriate to be running gambling games' (Ie, inspections) and as absurd as an official reputable company supporting such a policy sounds you'd expect it to at least be somewhat playable, right?

Still wishing?

This thing is awful, it's an abomination, it's hands down the single worst commercially released Shooter I've ever seen, and to think it was released in 2006 boggles the mind.

You can move in 2 directions, left and right.
You fire a single stream of bullets
YOU CAN'T MOVE AT THE SAME TIME AS FIRING
The background is about 8 screens high and just repeats, there is no start, or end, you just start wherever the background is currently scrolled to.
The only enemies are 2 jets and their bullets
Turrets etc. on the ground are for decoration only
There is no level progression
The collision detection is awful
The hardware has no sprites, so everything moves in 8 pixel blocks
YOU OFTEN RESPAWN IN THE SAME PLACE AS A BULLET, SO DIE INSTANTLY
Enemies just move randomly up and down in your general direction, firing at set intervals
You can die simply from a jet respawning behind you, without a chance to move!
There is no high score table or concept of high score at all for that matter
There are no powerups
The game uses 1 generic explosion sound effect, nothing more
There is a 5 second background music loop that repeats over and over.
You know what's worst? It's copyrighted 2000-fucking-6

I'm pretty sure I played games from Windows 3.11 that used that sound effect. No joke.

Worst shmup ever indeed. It'll be tough to top this one :lol:

When i was a wee boy, I played a wacky shmup called chicken invaders.(lol i was 4 years old).
I believe that is indeed the worst shmup I have ever played.
A constantly looping levelset,only one weapon,only one boss.
It gets retarded to play the game later as the enemies become impossible to beat since they gain a hitpoint for every loop.

But why listen to me,try this crappy game yourself!
