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.
Talk about a snerdy list!
especially super r-type, probably the weakest part of the whole serie.
Agreed! They couldn't even use R-Type III!
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.
