Best Genesis/MD shooters???

Spriggan is great indeed, but kinda easy. Aleste 2 on "crazy mode" takes insane skill to even survive the stage 1 mid-point boss.

Actually SuperD, real men play TimeGal on LA right?

SuperDeadite · 09/14/2011, 08:00 PM

of course, as well as VC2. But those aren't shooters...

geise · 09/14/2011, 08:26 PM

How is VC2 compared to the pc98 version?

SuperDeadite · 09/14/2011, 08:54 PM

No idea, but I'd assume the LD version would have the better quality video,
which is the whole point really.

Quote from: nat on 09/13/2011, 11:12 PMMUSHA 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.

Quote from: Tatsujin on 09/14/2011, 12:52 AMSpriggan is clearly above most compile stuff and one of the greatest shewties ever. Period.

So much truth in them thar quotes. ...So much.

I'm pretty sure some people "shoot" after playing VC2

And by that I mean shoot pictures of course. What were you thinking?

ropes...

Arkhan Asylum · 09/20/2011, 08:45 AM

Contra was a good shooter.

machomadness · 10/29/2011, 02:00 PM

I've always been partial to the Thunder Force games. But, I'd consider Gunstar Heroes a shooter and that's no on the list....

nat · 10/29/2011, 03:01 PM

I'd consider Gunstar Heroes a run-n-gun, which I suppose is a "subgenre" of shooters.

Recently bought a copy of Musha Aleste and Gaiares... Two great shooters!!

Also, would you consider games like FZ Axis and Ganada to be shooters? They are a bit different I suppose, but two great games. Love pretty much anything by Wolf Team.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/01/2011, 01:32 PM

No Wings of Wor or Phelios = I don't vote.

geise · 11/01/2011, 01:51 PM

Why did Sol Deace/Feace not get added to the list?

DragonmasterDan · 11/01/2011, 01:55 PM

I just ordered a copy of Lightening Force. I hear it may be the best on the system. I have TF2 and 3.

Lightening Force is really cool, but I prefer Thunder Force III as I like its music better. I don't much care for the scrolling screen in Lightening Force either. This reminds me...I still need to get a box for my copy of LF.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/01/2011, 03:09 PM

Ok wait I am blind, Wings of Wor is on the list.
BUT WHERE IS PHELIOS.

I really liked Phelios.

SuperDeadite · 11/02/2011, 08:51 AM

Phelios is one of the weirdest ports I've ever seen. Why did Namco even bother to attempt to port that? Should have just made a sequal, or spinoff.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/02/2011, 09:28 AM

Silence! It's fun and I like it.

Who cares if its all derpy.

futureman2000 · 11/02/2011, 01:50 PM

I recently picked up Phelios at a local resale shop. I played it quite a bit, and I really enjoy it. And it is certainly derpy- it doesn't feel like other vertical shooters... but it is fun to play, pretty hard, and has a neat art style. I especially like the NES-grade skeleton warriors.
