Aha! I stand corrected.

Good taste, my friend .


It's all good.    As far as NES shmups go, Stinger should be shouted from the rooftops!




...along with Gun.Smoke.

(Twin Cobra is good, but I haven't had it very long so it may be a passing fad - Kyukyuko Tiger for PCE is still way better.)

I don't get why crisis force doesn't seem to be well known even in the nes community.  Maybe because it was famicom only?  Maybe because it's...a shmup and not a side scroller?

That is unusual since it's well known outside of the NES community. :P

Yeah me too.  I love great shmups.  I've been posting on sega16 for ages and yet I've never seen anyone mention the extremely amazing verytex.
