Yesterday I saw at my local used bookstore a loose copy of Stinger for the NES for $6.  I'd be happy to pick it up and send it your way if you'd like.  As far as Twinbee games goes, it's one of my favorites.  It switches between horizontal and vertical levels, like Salamander.


I know this is blasphemy, but I enjoy Stinger (NES) more than Twin Bee (PCE). It's the goofiness of the NES title that makes it charming, I reckon (shooting down formations of coat hangers over the Egyptian desert...)

FC definitely, but not the SFC.

And I'll have to consider your offer, Roflmao.  I'll PM you if I want it. :D

Anyway, I've considered Abadox, as I've heard it's decent & have yet to buy an NES game that begins with the letter "A". :lol:

Gun-Nac...I dunno.  Seems pretty expensive for a paro-shmup, and I'm not usually into those. 

Another shooter that begins with the letter "A" is Air Fortress... it's one I really like.

Gun-nac is awesome, as is Gun.Smoke!

Gun-Nac and Crisis Force are both not super expensive but super good (for the FC). Get em as long they're still warm.

check out the music on this game, it's quite incredible for a NES cart, crazy guitar riffs!

Mag-Max!

Also I enjoyed B-Wings for FC quite a bit. It was fun choosing different weapon variations and the music's good.

Another FC recommendation is Tetra Star. Great music and graphics in that one, kind of a 'behind the ship' deal like space harrier.
