A nice, little classic, that could've been amazing, with just a little bit more stuff added. Everything sounds and looks good, the playability is nice, and the game works very well.
A bit more enemies, also able to shoot instead of just bombing, a bit more detail in the ground and sprites would've made this an unmissable classic.
As it is now, I think you need a little bit of nostalgy to enjoy this game - it's slightly too simplistic, when you can nowadays play Arcade versions of Xevious, Tatsujin, Dragon Saber, and the like, and all the Dreamcast shooters (Ikaruga, etc.), and Amiga's Hybris, Battle Squadron and and and.. coming back to this, sadly, feels a bit too lackluster to hold your interest for long. |
