What are everyones favorite shooters for the platform at the top of my list is Blazing Lazers/ Gunhead then Lords of Thunder, and Soldier Blade (which I prefer over Final Blade and Super Star Soldier). What does everyone else like?
-
It's tough to say what's the best exactly, so here are my favorites in no particular order:
Gates of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Blazing Lazers, Star Parodia, Soldier Blade, Final Soldier (I actually find this one a little underrated), Psychic Storm, Psychosis, and many more!
To narrow it down to three, I'd say Star Parodia, Gates of Thunder, Lords of Thunder.
-
In order for me :
Download
Final Soldier
-
Lords of Thunder, Gates of Thunder, Blazing Lazers, SideArms, R-Type, and I even enjoy a little Ordyne from time to time. Cotton and Magical Chase are decent too.
-
Lords of Thunder and Blazing Lasers for me, no doubt. I usually use those to test the mods I do and I end up playing about an hour a piece each time.
I have a soft spot for R-Type, but it's too damn hard.
-
I love 'em all, but I'll list some KICK ASS ones that have yet to be mentioned:
1. Gradius II
2. Dragon Saber
3. Spriggan Ghost Warrior
4. Salamander
5. Aldynes (SuperGrafx -- emulation)
6. Raiden (CD version)
and....
6. God Panic (this game is a really corny cute-em-up... I like it)
I'll stop there....
-
Sometimes I want to say I really like Spriggan, but after the first level, I can't seem to enjoy the game as much :( . It's still really fun to play once you haven't played it in awhile.
-
I'd have to say that I don't have alot of past experience with shooters on the turbo...but i'm getting it now! it's virtually a shooter fan's wet dream...I am finishing GOT now, and really was amazed at how thrilling I found it to be and how many times it left me saying "whoa".. I now have a plethora of shooters lined up...LOT, star parodia, parodius, side arms,..so I'll let you know..I just let spriggan, image fight 2, andcoryoon go on ebay, guess they are pretty good buys too...but jeez,after GOT, they have alot to live up to! they Soldier series is hard to find these days , but eventually I want them as well
-
LoT has a special place in my heart (that's why I made that PC demo :) ...there hasn't been that many games that actually get my thumb tired, but LoT is one of them. The gfx and sound are a true statement as to what the TurboDuo could have been, given another year or so of development time.
-
Yeah, LoT still amazes me to this day. And you're right, if the Turbo could have lasted just a bit longer it's would have been great to see how much more of this stuff developers could have pulled off. IMO, it's the most impressive game on the system and the one I most highly recommend as a showcase game.
-
LoT is a very wonderful game and really shows what a 16-bit CD game is suppose to be like - it's also one-of-a-kind. I think Gates might be just a little better in the gameplay department and soundtrack.
-
Yeah, gates is the shooter i go back to more often... but Gates has such a generic aesthetic... Lords has the much more interesting character design, level aesthetics, and bosses. that's why Lords rules!
But Gates is probably the better of the two, when you strip away the aesthetics and look at the core shoot-em-up essence.
-
Yes, Gates is more for shooter fans and Lords is more for everyone. Another plus side for Gates are the three other games included :D .
-
The shooter I play since 8 years now is Gunhed! That's the one I pop into my PC-Engine once a month to play.
I also enjoyed Gates of Thunder very very much the years back. LOT wasn't really my cup of coffee, as the hard guitar sounds don't turn me on. But it's a formidable shooter anyway.
Oh, and Super Raiden is also one that I pop in once a year ;-)

That reminds me... has anyone ever beaten Gunhed at the higher difficulty levels?
-
I've never beat Blazing Lazers/Gunhed on the default mode! I can nearly make it to the last level though. When you loose your weapon in that game, you're screwed.
-
Blazing Lazers -- I played that game to death when I first got the system (my brothers and I couldn't afford to buy new games for a long time, since we spent all our money on the cosole).
not that u asked, but here are my 2 cents:
1. at many points in the game, you need to shift your speed (select or start button?), and you need to do this according to the weapons you have. For example, at the end of the game (last stage boss rush), you may only have the pea-shooter... so sometimes you need to put your speed up to the MAX and quickly fly back and forth (horizontally) to take out the enemies. other times, you need to slow down to navigate the bullets....
2. BETTER TIP: The secret is to keep shooting the power-ups that "cycle" through I, II, III , IV.... keep shooting them and they eventually turn into a blinking rainbow sphere.
grab this sphere and (1) all enemies on the screen disappear and MORE IMPORTANTLY (2) the next time you die, you'll "re-spawn" and continue on your journey uninterrupted (instead of restarting at the checkpoint).
On default, I get like 15-20 of these "re-spawing" power-ups. Even if you get sloppy and die towards the end of the game (the boss rush), you won't have return to the checkpoint and keep playing the bosses over and over.
the last boss is pretty easy on default. find the speed that is appropriate, though.
-

Half the time I play through it I go through the whole game without being hit. I usually power up weapon III and shields as much as possible, if I hit something else I try to go back to using weapon III. Just stick with that and you'll survive.
-
Awesome tips, Steve. I'm going to try those out whenever I can. I never really gave the speed adjustments any thought.
I use to always power up III laser (or should I say "lazer"?) with the fire power items; this makes a green laser that tracks down all enemies. I use to think that was the best until I read this walkthrough once that said a fully fire powered II is probably the best and now I agree. The tracking laser can be useful, but if there is an enemy comming right towards you and your laser is out somewhere else killing things, then you might be in a bad situation.
-

Which walkthrough do you mean?

Gradius and Salamander are some of my all-time favorites for any console (or even the arcade). I just got import Hucards from Japan this week, and am very happy with the PCE conversions. I also have really enjoyed Gradius 2: Gofer (another one I got last week). Parodius Da is on the way here from Japan, as well. I just got Final Blaster recently, and it is quite fun.
I've had Lords of Thunder for a few years. The soundtrack still blows my mind. It is probably one of the greatest shooters ever created.
I've just started building my PCE/Turbo collection, after a hiatus of a few years. I've not had the opportunity to play some of the great Hudson shooters, but they are on my list of "must-buys". I had bid for Gunhed on Ebay, but some bid sniper came along in the last few minutes and stole it. :)

All the Konami PCE shooters are solid. check out twin bee (although some folks don't like the power-up mechanics)...
-
Twin Bee is a pretty fun game, although I really don't like the power up system.
-
Yeah, it's challenging... but I got used to it playing Stinger on NES... so now I dig it. If I hadn't played Stinger to death... I don't know if I'd have as much patience for it now as I do.
-
Gonna have to go with in no order of ranking:
1. Blazing Lazers/Gunhed
2. Super Star Soldier
3. Lords of Thunder
4. Gates of Thunder
5. Aldynes (SuperGrafx)
6. R-Type I & II
I have Super Darius and Super Darius 2 but I didn't care for them to much compared to the above.
Salamander and Gradius II have been on my to-get list.
-
I still have yet to play Gradius II. I'm not really a fan of the Gradius series (although I love Parodius), but this game looks a lot more promising from screenshots and a video I've seen.
-
How could I forget!
7. Deep Blue
:D Has anyone beat it?
-

No, I always considered this a tough game... but a fellow at another message board said that with the right strategy this isn't too tough and it isn't that bad of a game.
I think he might have been teasing me, at least a bit, but ... who knows? I never gave the game a chance... years later, I did buy a sealed Japanese version. My goal: to beat DB and love it :)
-
I always die during the 4th scene, haven't played an awhile, but now I can't wait to get home and fire it up. I picked up a new Japanese version as well.

we're kindred spirits, just kidding. I thought this was going to be a darius clone when I first bought it. You can imagine my surprise.
-
Here's another one going through my collection;
8. Kyuukyoku Tiger
Cool powerups and definitely worth the pickup.
Yea, DB is no Darius clone :D Totally different.
-
ok, you know that tiger heli for NES has a special place in my heart (my first NES game... it was the only NES shoot-em-up in the store...). Continuing the theme, one of the first Japanese games I bought back in the day was Kyuukyoku Tiger HuCard.
Nowadays these games are panned by many shoot-em-up fans, but I still love these old skool titles.
-
I love Mr. Heli and Kyuukyoku Tiger! No one here has mentioned Psychosis yet, at least I am assuming that because I'm too lazy to go back and check (Hell I might've said it already :D ). Not many people talk about this shooter, but I think it's pretty fun and has some crazy stuff in it.
-
i like psychosis... :)
check out the cover art (tg16 version)... it's AWESOME.
-
I have the game, and yes the cover art does indeed rule! Some crazy enemies in that game too.
-
more shooters should have fetus-like enemies.
-
I really dig the boss designs in R-Type. Especially if I remember correctly the second or third level boss which looked like a vagina or something. The first level boss is awesome as well.
-
I got R-type complete on SCD the other day..that game rocks! the music is killer. for those of you who have played the hu-card and the cd, what are the differences? I know that my version has r-type 1&2 on it plus cinemas, but I guess the music was changed...but I love the music on my version..plus it's tough! eventually I will pick up the 2 hucards...r-type 2 never came out in the us right?
-
The US HuCard of R-Type has all the levels from R-Type on it, so it has both R-Type 1 and 2 HuCards in it.
-
I have the PC engine HuCard versions of R-Type and they're split on 2 cards.
I also have the Playstation version R-Types. It has original R-Type and R-Type II. R-Type on this CD is no where near the quality for the PC Engine. Colors are a little different, controls are slow, and there's slowdown?! I would have never known had I not picked up the PC Engine version.
I'm gonna have to check out Psychosis now.

yeah, the SCD version is great... but I dig the HuCard PSG tunes as well. I'm pretty certain that the game itself is identical, it simply adds cinemas and Red Book soundtrack.
I love the 80's-sounding tunes on the CD soundtrack (R R R R R R R -type)...
-
I really want to get the Complete CD now.
-
I just played Lords of Thunder for about two hours straight. I beat a good portion of it before I had to go out to dinner. What a great game... I can't get over just how good it was.
-
Yeah Lords is great; I recently beat it for the billionth time actually. If you stick to the Earth armor, it's actually a pretty easy game.
-
Stick to the Earth Armor, eh? I'll try that. Is there really that big of a difference between armors other than the type of weapon you have? I was never sure if I should use the fire armor on the fire level, etc.
-
I'm not exactly sure if a specific armor is better for a specific level, but I find that the Earth Armor is a lot more damaging than the other types and works well, especially against the last boss.
-
No love for Air Zonk? :shock: I love Zonk... tons of sweet power ups, colorful graphics lots of fun, tons of boss fights on that last level. :D
DrangonmasterDan, you aren't related to Dragonmaster Blackwolf (http://www.geocities.com/blackbeardian/Magecraft/bwolfmain2.html) are you? Kidding of course... :lol:

Dragonmaster Blackwolf rules. Seriously.
I just read a review of Air Zonk (CD version) that convinced me I should get the Japanese CD ... I was content with the HuCard, but now I want more... read review here (http://www.pcinjin.com/airzonkcd.htm) Up to now, I didn't doubt the folks who were dissing the SCD version... guess I gotta determine this for myself.
-
Has anyone beat Salamander on the Expert setting? I almost beat it on Beginner the other day but got wiped out.
-
thanks for that link steve! I hadn't found that site yet..very nice! I went right to ebay and Bought Now Dynastic hero and cd denjin new and sealed from dreamstage japan on ebay!...there is still a couplle good copies up for sale though.
-
Steve that review totally makes me want to try out the SCD version now! I always heard people dissing the SCD version and now this review really gives me a reason to try it.

Yea, I'll have to check out the CD version when I get either a Duo or a Turbo CD w/ System 3.0 card. Till then I'll have to wait I guess.
More on the off topic subject of Blackwolf, here is a pretty funny phone interview he did with Something Awful. (http://www.somethingawful.com/archives/news-archive-27-5-2002.htm) :)

hahahha. I can't believe it, I actually saw the conan o'brian footage! it was absolutely fabulously wonderfully entertaining and my stomach hurt I was laughing so much.
I didn't know that it was the very same Blackwolf! Now I love Blackwolf even more.
ON TOPIC: Yeah, CD Air Zonk is definitely piquing my interest. I can't believe how I went from "blahh, whatever" to "oh snap I'm itchin' for that game". A complete 180.
-
My list of faves, in rough order (depends on my mood, hehehe)
Lords Of Thunder (Boss Mode is killer! :) )
Gate of Thunder (gonna beat Devil Mode someday...)
Sinistron (wow this game is hard...)
Air Zonk (have yet to beat it in Bitter mode)
Dead Moon (haven't beat Hard mode yet...someday...)
Soldier Blade (I can't beat this one but it's still mad fun)
Sidearms Hyperdyne (this was a pretty good port from the arcade version)
Coryoon Child Of Dragon (Air Zonk engine? :) )
I actually wasn't a big fan of Blazing Lasers, but it was decent at least. I play it from time to time. :D I also didn't much care for Magical Chase or Dragon Spirit.

yay, a sidearms "fan" ... I dig the game as well. try the sequel to dragon spirit (Japanese HuCard, Dragon Saber) for righteousness (even if you don't dig dragon spirt). Sinistron... I continued a bazillion times and couldn't beat the last level. Surprisingly, it's kind of like Gradius in that you actually CAN get a lot further with a peashooter than you would initially expect, but it takes tons of practice and tons of frustration.
I'd have to replay both games, but it would be neat to explore the similarities / differences between Coryoon and Air Zonk. Aesthetically they're both cute as heck, but naxat (i think) made coryoon and .... maybe Red made Air Zonk...
-
Ya, Air Zonk is by Red Kaminarimon/Hudson Soft. But the two games use a surprisingly similar engine, even similar sound effects and music styles.
To beat the last level of Sinistron...wow, it's a doozy. First of all, you can use the Sinistron sacrificial half-level skip I documented on magicenginefx's forum if the first half is too tough for you (and if you think the non-Japanese version is hard...try the Japanese version, it's twice as tough). At the checkpoint in level 6, there's all three weapons available. Pick up either the flame cannon or the CHAOS missles, then pick up the crystal laser so it's full strength. You'll have to get the timing down perfectly for those big annoying ships that shoot shots and missles and move around quickly. Having the ramming jaws open halfway helps, as all the way open doesn't damage much plus is very vulnerable, and completely closed doesn't allow you to get them both (you need to be able to hit both at once or you'll get pegged with missles from behind). Once you have no more enemies, the rest is elementary. :D

thanks for the scoop. you know, until your post at magicengine, i didn't know that the U.S. version of Sinistron had been altered (beyond the title screen). I was surprised that the "skip to the next checkpoint" glitch was (probably) only in the U.S. version. Now, I've known that many games are "dumbed down" for the U.S. market... but it never occurred to me that Violent Soldier was one of them (because from level 3 onward that game is tough).
I wonder if I'll have the courage to try Violent Soldier, considering that Sinistron kicks my a$$.
About the similarities between coryoon and air zonk: one of us should make a post where we pose the question, either here or at ME... for example, I know that Kaminari at ME will probably be able to tell us if the same composer did both of soundtracks.
-
Yeah, Violent Soldier was dumbed down quite a bit as Sinistron. You can see the differences from the very first level (the sub-bosses in level 1 are the first good example of changes...in Sinistron, they simply circle, but in Violent Soldier, they have a more complex pattern of attack). Level 4 and level 6 are the most obvious changes though...level 4 is very challenging (especially the part where the purple rocks come from all directions! that never happens in Sinistron) and level 6 is just plain impossible through the first half (too bad it can't be skipped...!!). I've beaten both games and I must say that Violent Soldier is much more worth finishing, much more satisfying...if not only for the heightened difficulty but also for the ending itself.
Oh, for anyone in doubt about Lords Of Thunder...yes, the Earth Armor is definately the one to use throughout most of the game! You'd think you should use the Fire Armor in the ice areas and etc. but the Earth Armor is always the strongest. I personally use the Fire Armor for Dezant and then the Earth Armor for just about everything else (although to make it interesting, I do use the Fire Armor for Helado and sometimes, to give myself a challenge, the Water Armor for the volcano and the Air Armor for the water level).
And what about Gate Of Thunder? Man, talk about little strategy once you learn the levels. :D Once you get the third weapon (what is this called? it sounds like the voice says "Heat" or something), it's a cakewalk, especially when you upgrade to "Earthquake". The only time I evet use any other weapon is in the diagonal descent into the water in Crown (switch to the Sonic Boom and fire backwards to get the guys coming from behind you) and in the laser area of Crown Core (switch to Lightning and fire backwards, for the same reason as above).
OK I've blabbered enough, hehehe. :D
-
I totally agree with you when it comes to Lords and Gates of Thunder.
-
OK, I think Sinistron is tough (from the asteroid level onwards)... but Lords is easy and Gate of Thunder is only slightly more challenging...
Does anyone else agree? I love these games, but I wish the default challenge was tougher. Raiden, on the other hand, has a nice challenge... and I've yet to beat it after all these years.

I am sorry we (I) got your hopes up: Spriggan (PCE) was often referred to as "Ghost Warrior Spriggan" or "Spirit Soldier Spriggan" here in the North American publications.
There are only two games in the PCE Spriggan series. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgsad.png)
-
Only ever played US HuCard stuff (damn, now I really need to try LoT!). Aero Blasters (2 player mode is too much fun) is probably my favorite but Air Zonk, Blazing Lazers and Fantasy Zone are excellent too.
It took me years to finnish Fantasy Zone becasue of the ridiculously hard last Boss. Only ever beat it once by total fluke but still consider that one of my greatest jump-for-joy gaming moments. Other than the last boss and the crappy ending, I still love everything about this game.
-
There are so many shooties for this console I haven't tried yet, but my library is steadily growing. The ones that I keep going back to right now are:
Seirei Senshi Spriggan

Cyber Core
Sidearms Special
Cotton
Aero Blasters
After Burner II
Detana! Twinbee
Galaga '90
Space Harrier
Super Star Soldier
R-Type
Monster Lair
These are ones I keep wishing were a little better:

Gonna have to put in my vote for Macross 2036!
Great music and cinemas, solid controls, nice variety of weapons (you get to buy one secondary weapon before each stage), good graphics.
If you're at all a fan of Macross/Robotech (and even if not) you need to check out this game. Excellent soundtrack.

I know, you might think Id prefer the SCD Image Fight 2 over the HuCard original, but not so. The original has more charm to me, with droves of durable enemies and memorable boss battles. It's also got more to offer in terms of difficulty settings.
-
Hmm, I don't own Image Fight 1 or 2 may have to pick um up.
My 4 way tie for favorite shooter:
Soldier Blade
Lords of Thunder
Gate of Thunder
Nexzr
Close behind
Rayxanber 2
Cotton

Verticals:
Twinbee
Steam Hearts

Psycho Chaser
Blazing Lazers
and shit
Horizontals:
Download 1 and 2
Spriggan 2
Psychosis
Coryoon
Sinistron
Deadmoon
Saint Dragon
and some shit
Paranoia / Psychosis is a game noone ever talks about, but I think the game is brilliant as f*ck.
-
My favorites... I can only really judge the ones I've played rather a lot of. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten around to giving some of them the attention they deserve, just because I've got other similar games that gave me a better first impression. Oh, these are all Japanese too, so when I say good value or whatever I'm not sure what TG versions go for.
Cyber Core - pretty standard shooter with one main quirk, but excellent value.
Super Star Soldier - again good value, and a bundle of fun.
Soldier Blade - Possibly my favorite shooter at the moment
PC Genjin - I need to play more of this actually.
Other shooters I own that I haven't played the shit out of:
Aldynes
Gates of Thunder
Dragon Spirit
Parodius
Detana!! Twinbee
Star Parodier
Final Soldier
Aero Blaster (HARD!!!!)
Deep Blue
Gunhed
Salamander
Gradius
R-Type
Galaga 88
And I guess Afterburner II and Space Harrier. And Battle Ace. Do those really count?
-
Gunhed
Gasp! Sinner!

Gunhed
Gasp! Sinner!
Yeah I know... However, the recent topic with the upgrades FAQ means that I get it a bit more and will be trying it again soon! I need to start playing shit properly instead of a couple of days at a time.

I am sorry we (I) got your hopes up: Spriggan (PCE) was often referred to as "Ghost Warrior Spriggan" or "Spirit Soldier Spriggan" here in the North American publications.
There are only two games in the PCE Spriggan series. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgsad.png)
Just to eliminate any mixups, which one is the alleged Ghost Warrior Spriggan?
Do you mean this (SEIREI SENSHI SPRIGGAN)?

Or this (SPRIGGAN MARK 2)?

The first one. "Ghost Warrior" and "Spirit Soldier" are very similar translations. :)

man this is such a hard one to answer I think. It's really pretty hard to choose cause there are so many, but off the top of my head what comes to mind for some of my favorite shooters are Cyber Core, Soldier Blade, Gate of Thunder, Psychic Storm, Spriggan, Lords of Thunder, and Air Zonk.
