IntoTheVerticalBlank - 01/07/2022
For me to want to re-play a vertical shooter it has to have a few things: 1. It has to be easy to get into. 2. It has to have good graphics. 3. It has to perform at a pretty good speed. That's it really. Hell Bent looks and sounds pretty good. There was some real effort put into this early game for the ST. It's basically a take on Gold Runner where you have to shoot as many of the targets and enemy as you can while flying up and down the screen. The visuals and sounds are more in the Plutos style than the Gold Runner style. It also has the Gold Runner difficulty and cheap deaths that are worse then the worst arcade quarter eater. Games should not be this difficult to get into.
