Its not that hard to understand what I am getting at.

Here I will present my thesis in clear words:-

In comparison to other Sega Genesis shooters, Raiden is one of the best shooters available for the system based on the game play alone, because we know game play is most important to real gamers.

If it still does not make any sense, I don't know what to do with u guys.

It's not hard to make a "best" shooter on that system when most of them blow anyway.

Gaiares was my pick. That is one awesome shootie.

As for Raiden, the worst port is the Jaguar. Total Raiden Fraud. The SNES port would be after that, followed by the Genny. The TG port is, by far, the best.

Edit: The PS1 port would actually be the best.  :-"

Raiden is a shitty game to begin with.  All ports of Raiden are shitty , basically because it is Raiden.  The TG-16 version is a complete joke compared to the Playstation version, though.  It's completely stretched, too.  Looks very wrong.  It's like watching a 4:3 TV show stretched to fit a 16:9 screen.  Screw that.

Those are good games. However, I said "most" of them suck, and most of them do indeed suck. These are exceptions.

Drop the stupid MD fan.

I agree that most MD shooters are average or less quality.  Hell, most MD games are average or less quality.  But that can be said for EVERY system ever, including the PCE.  Most PCE shooters are average or less quality as well.  And by "average" I mean "nothing special".

Is "Inspector X" a different game than "Insector X?" I was only ever aware of "Insector X."

I choose 5 games from the long list of SG shooters. So yeah Raiden is still better than most.

Because your poll has both an "Insector X" option and an "Inspector X" option.

It's a good game for sure, but ironically enough it takes out the ever changing A.I. of Compile's other games,
meaning you can memorize your way through it.  Which is basically how Dragon Saber works....

At first I thought ddd was a troll.  But the truth is quite clear now, he's just le dumb.

Strange, nowhere near 90% of Sega fans seem to think it's even the best Genny shooter, much less the best shooter on any platform.

Tons of love for MUSHA there, but yeah, probably not 90% hehe.

MUSHA is a great game, but not quite the greatest shooter ever made. Hell, it's not even the greatest Compile shooter.

I personally enjoy Blazing Lazers and Spriggan more.

I love Spriggan.  The weapon combos are so amazing.  I also like how Super Aleste/Space Megaforce used some of the weapons found in Blazing Lazers/Gunhed.  My favorite compile shooters go Spriggan, Blazing Lazers/Gunhed, ZanacXZanac, MUSHA Aleste, Super Aleste/Space Megaforce

Real men play Compile's MSX shooters.  E.I. , Zanac, Zanac EX, Aleste, Aleste Gaiden, Aleste 2
