Just beat Psychic Storm while 1cc'ing it. Game wasn't very hard at all since they refill your life bar and special after each round. I'm going to go back and try the other ships and 2 player mode. The music and graphics are really nice, the voice-overs are a little muffled. There were 2 regular enemies in the game that had me scratching my head how to beat them (an enemy in the water stage that sucks your ship in & a tentacle wall thing that sometimes blocks your path in the last stage). Overall I'd recommend this game especially if you're new to shmups or want a "relaxing" shmup experience!

Funny, I just had played this and wasn't impressed. Way too easy, one of the easiest ones i've played, not much strategy, not even the bosses, average graphics, and below average music. The ship feels a little too slow for me also.

Played some Star Parodier for the first time last night and enjoyed it, even though the 'Egyptian' stage whooped me good.
Played through the game without much trouble until I got to the boss of that stage. I gave up after a few continues to try again for another day. It's fire tail attack always got me, couldn't get away fast enough. Used Bomberman...

I didn't say it was the best, it's far from it with the system's shmup library but I've played a lot worse. I just got done playing Cosmic Fantasy 2 beforehand so I could've possibly given it more credit then it actually deserves haha... Especially when you hear the same 3 songs and see Nes style graphics the whole time playing CS2.  :mrgreen:

Been playing Burning Angels the last few days. It's OK kinda reminds me for some reason of Override but shorter and harder. You get a life bar but you'll take some stupid hits that downgrade your weapons and that can be irritating.The special weapon makes the few truly difficult parts not bad at all.

I played Steam Hearts also recently and that is much better than this.

I am currently being bent over the coffee table by Turrican.  Holy shit this game is hard.  It's also made harder by mapping the jump button to the D pad.  You already have a jump button why do you need an extra jump button.  You have NO recover time after getting hit and the inability to shoot up for diagonal makes it insane.

Played some Bomberman '93 with my kids and had fun, then I played a little Psychic Storm for the first time.  It was decent, but I ran out of time, so I'll have to get back to it another time.

STATUS: The music is the best part of this game (it's far too easy). I can never get enough of that "Telenet House Band" sound.

Damn you. Damn you!

I was just playing Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu(pce). Great game. I'm on the final stage, and taking a break to go to Chipotle for dinner. :P

EDIT: Just got back from Chipotle and beat this game! It took me much longer to beat the 5 Dragons and the Emperor on the final stage on my other two times I beat this classic. This time, only one try! And Chipotle was delicious as always...

Awesome, Lukester!  I have fond memories of playing Jackie Chan before I made the mistake of selling my collection.  It's one of the few titles I've yet to regain and now it's usually out of my price range when I see it.

Hehe. I have a loose Japan card of the game. Good luck buying a U.S. version.
