It is inevitable that Screwattack will make Top 10 lists, it is inevitable that they will suck, it is inevitable that somebody will post them here and bitch about them.

Who am I to mess with this grand scheme?

Agreed beside super r-type realy suffers from slow down.

I would take the original over it any day of the week.

Still as for them listing U.N Squadron lol at that being number one.

It's a good shmup but i wouldn't rate it that high.

However thumbs up for them listing GALAGA!

Wow.

I've never even heard of UN Squadron until now. Yeah, I'm serious. I even own an SNES. Is this some mega-cool game or something? It looked a whole lot lamer than Gate of Thunder, that's for sure.

For argument's sake, I love Super R-Type. More than R-Type III. But not more than the original. The slowdown in Super R-Type is definitely a detriment to it's greatness.

Their list is severely flawed. As someone pointed out earlier, they didn't include anything exclusive to the Turbo/PCE. And the Turbo was the PLATFORM for shooters during the 16-bit-graphic era. For games like 1943, Gradius, R-Type, and Xevious they even used the NES versions as example video shots. I doubt these guys have ever played a TurboGrafx or PCE in their life. How can you make a top 10 2-D shooter list without playing the Turbo? It's a f*cking oxymoron.

I agree with two of their choices, but that's all.

Same here, I can't even see why its number one  :-k

it's incomparable with a GoT, but a really nice and well drawed shmups which is even better than its arcade pendant. the nice thing is its strategy mix, which the arcade didn't had. you can choose from a battlefield which "area 88"-attacking menace you will strike down next. you can earn money and buy better aircrafts with bigger abbilities and stronger/bigger weaponary!

Raptor is a good game, but in the top ten?  C'mon.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Geez, this shit is horrible...

What's the one kids show on TV with the puppet lemur or whatever? This shit reminds me of whatever the hell that show is. The difference, I suppose, is that the lemur show is infantile on purpose.

And Joe is right. I expect to be told to "come on down" to the local Chevy dealership for free hot dogs and balloons if I test drive a Cobalt.

I do agree with some of their choices though; Ikaruga, R-Type, and Galaga. I ceased enjoying R-Type a decade ago (at least) but it is an important game historically speaking. Galaga is f*cking great is the most playable game that is that old except maybe Ms. Pac Man. Ikaruga is just f*cking amazing. I love it.

Xevious is pretty much unplayble for me. Its incredibly boring. Area 88 is nice, and truly an overlooked gem, but probably not even a top 50, certainly not #1.

I'd have stuff on there like GoT, ESP Ra.De., Radiant Silvergun, Blazing Star...newer stuff, mostly, and my entire list would probably be arcade releases except maybe GoT.

If I was going to put weird off the wall shit on there that nobody else would vote for: Game Tengoku, Akenvader, Dandan Feveron, and Macross: DYRL (Saturn).

As Top 10 lists on corporate websites go, 3 out of 10 isn't bad, but this thing is still embarrassing.

Yeah i was kinda dissapointed with their choices aswell, dunno why its always like 90% of thier stuff is nintendo and maybe they'll throw in a sega game or a pc one just to show their not biosed, good example being their top 10 ninjas video, tut tut.

If you go on the proper screwattack website they have like one TG-16 review and its for one of the Bonk games

but please notice that the not talking about the historically and legendary R-Type we all love so much, but about the crappy and foozled SNES port of R-Type II aka Super R-Type. still wonder, where in gods name the "super" is got to?

The sad thing is that I know you're talking about Bear In The Big Blue House.  The sadder thing is I know that lemur's name is Treelo.  :shock:
