One of the best shooters on the system with the best shooters. If you read these blurbs, you know I can't get enough of the shooters.
Here's a nice little French documentary about the history of shooters (don't worry, they interview primarily Japanese developers) in which this very game is mentioned.

This is the game that sold me on the platform. Years ago I lent my copy to somebody who was just getting into Turbo Grafx and since lost touch; I never got it back. I think on Saturday I'm going to hit up local used game stores and see if I can scrounge up a copy to join in the fun this week.

God of Game

To hell with that! I can barely squeak by on Hard Human!
Christmas of '89 I received a Turbo Grafx 16 (with Keith Courage of course), and Blazing Lazers. After playing this once, I was hooked and became a Turbo-nut for life. This game has so much awesomeness it's unmeasurable.
-
This should have been the game the week of April 20.
-
This is tied with GoT as my favorite PCE shooter. Love the sound effects especially. They have a nice ring to them.

Yes,the SFX are quite nice. I absolutely love the BASS (when you have TG-16 connected to subwoofer+speakers) for the flying brains in stage 4(?). They explode nicely, too. But my favorite sound is the "bluuhhhbluhhhhbluhhhh" SFX when shooting them.
-
I hear very good things about this game. Not really one negative come to think of it. I will most definitely have to try it sometime.
-
BL is one of my favorite SHMUP of all time, its one of the reason I bought the TG-16 system. Man I gotta
play me so Blazing Lazers.
-
Will give this a go soon... I've played it endless times, only beaten it a handful of those. Once the flying brains start, that's the start of my demise.
Edit: great run for not playing in quite a while...
Made it to Stage 9 just after return of the tank boss, and got my ass handed to me.

I've never made past there.
-
yeah I think that may be the hardest wave of enemies in the game, I like to have Homing Missiles as a secondary weapon there, then either have 1 or 2 as my first weapon maxed out since they spread to the upper corners.
-
Might give this one a shot. Have played it a handful of times but think I've only made it to the second level. Normally decent at shooters. Haven't given this one enough time.
-
This one is a game I really want to love, but I don't. Nothing wrong with the game though. . Its got good music and amazing g graphics for its time. The power up system is flexible if a bit confusing at times, and there's hidden difficulty modes for added challenge. But I find the stages a bit too long for my tastes and lose interest long before the end. Even if its not my cup of tea, its one of the essential Tg shooter.
-
I've owned this one since my original TG-16, and I definitely beat it back then with a fully powered homing laser or whatever it's called ("III" I think). Recently, I was showing a friend some TG-16 games and it was hard as hell! I know if I sat down with it longer I could beat it again, but I was getting blown out of the sky repeatedly. Great music and graphics though, one of the very best Hu-cards/Turbochips.
Wanna do Bonk's Revenge as GOTW coming up? I was trying to convince my same buddy that it was one of the very best games on the system.

It's your avatar though. Aren't you supposed to love the game in your avatar?

Is this your official submission? As long as it follows the rules, you don't need anyone to agree with it. ;)

Yeah man, let's do it. Am I supposed to write up the little blurb or what do I need to do?

Ha, ha, you got me with that one. My avatar cycles through La, Blazing Laxers, Alien Crush, MM and Splatterhouse. As I said, I consider Blazing an essential step in the Tg-16 library, it's just not one of my favorites. It's just a coincidencr to have it as my avatar atm.

Nope, you're good. I was just making sure, since you didn't seem 100% decided on it.
By the way everyone, I have to go on a business trip this week, and next week I will move into a new apartment. For this reason, unless someone else wants to take over temporarily, I will need to start the next couple of threads each about a day ahead of schedule.

Didn't you fill out the official application and provide your digital signature to agree to the ToS? Once that has been reviewed and processed, you will be sent an activation link for your GotW account via e-mail. After validating, a PIN number will be assigned to you, which may be used to create an account at the GotW portal. Provided your username is unique and your password meets the security policy requirements (mixed case, alphanumeric with at least 2 numerals, 8 or more characters, and at least one special character. Should not contain your username or any plain english; acronyms are advised for their mnemonic quality)
at that point, you may login and submit your GotW request along with the requested game's intro text (200-700 words) and title screen capture.
As soon as the PayPal transaction completes (funds withdrawn automatically from the paypal account associated with the registered e-mail address), you will see your GotW selection on the forums within 7-10 days.
So nothing, then. :) Gotcha.

Oh I'm sure!

I just bought some speakers and a sub last night. Going to play and blast this one tonight. G/f will be at work so i don't have to worry about her complaining that its to loud
-
Blazing Lazers should have had a character segment like The Guardian Legend so it could be the TG-16 mascot.
-
got to area 7 last night, but couldn't get through it. ended up with a highscore of:1764300
-
looking forward to playing this game some day.. *sigh* hear its pretty darn awesome lol
-
I know the week is over but I finally got a chance to really spend some time with this game today. Got to level 5 and a score of 1,188,080 before I died. Used the remaining continues to get to the boss of level 6 twice but couldn't beat him. Have never made it this far. The TG has my shooter chops up lately.
-
I think this and Legendary Axe were my first TurboGrafx games. Their music makes me almost dizzy with nostalgia. I love BL more than it'll ever know.
I know next submissions been chosen but how do I go about requesting a GotW entry?
