I actually played a bunch of that Star Wars vector arcade game at my local bowling alley. Yes, I am old…

Starfox never did it for me like Space Harrier. I’m not sure why. The primitive 3D maybe. Space Harrier creature design is just plain bizarre and intriguing.
I love Space Harrier. There are a handful of other third-person, on-rails shooters (Sin and Punishment), but nothing recent that I’m aware of.
Also, Bangai O on Nintendo DS is insanely fun. I can’t think of any other games where slowdown is a necessary mechanic.
Sexy Parodius is a bit sketchy, yes. But, it’s easily the most-fun shmup I’ve ever played. The music is fantastic, too. I’ve managed to 1cc the game, but I’ve never beaten the bonus stage which is just so ridiculously difficult, I question whether it’s even possible without a very specific strategy or something.
Unfortunately, the best version is the arcade one, and MAME doesn’t do the best job with it. Still playable, though.
Fantastic food. Entirely too rapey.
Pop quiz: four of the top five most anticipated games are Doom, Gears of War, Perfect Dark, and Assassin’s Creed: what year is it?
My older sister was supposed to get my name, but she was a she. It would have been fairly unique at her age. I came along five years later and got it at the height of its popularity, as a result there were three of us in my grade six class.
I got a chance to watch it on a cross-Pacific flight. Which is just about the only time I watch movies anymore. I made the right choice! It was far more enjoyable than Meg 2 which I also managed to squeeze in unfortunately.
Haha! I’m still waiting for a decent sale on Spider-Man 1.
Getting Cicret Bracelet vibes from this one.
Ehh. What’s the average age around here? I’m guessing it wasn’t the youth that migrated from Reddit.
I like that the alien has 4 fingers. Fitting!
The 90s are to now as the 60s were to the 90s.
The numbers between zero and one are where all of the fun is!
I’m (well, I like to think I’m) a very stable person, and it freaked me right out.
None! I live in Korea, and the local wildlife was long ago mostly displaced or eaten by the seething mass of humanity. Once upon a time, there were some cool bears and tigers even. There are some nice, big herons still around I suppose. Oh, some tiny deer, too.
More people should code Csound. Doesn’t matter if you’re musically inclined or not. Just do it. Make weird noises. Have fun!
Yeah, I didn’t say I trust them to do it right, just that it could be done tastefully.
Good thing I haven’t bought a game from a big name studio since, uhh, does Elden Ring count?
Ahh yes, definitely. I should have said that isn’t strictly a traditional shmup. Bangai O definitely has many elements of shmups, but the level design and many of the mechanics are quite unique to it.
