I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to scrolling shooters, but surely this is an insanely long game? It must have talen three hours to finish, at least, and that's with save states. By the end of the game the difficulty had been ramped right up and I can state with 100% certainty that I wouldn't have been able to see the credits without cheating. A might fine game though, just a touch bloated perhaps and well beyond my capabilities (the first half eases you in though tbf).
89%. If it had ended a couple of levels earlier I may have added two points to the score. Good VFM though, there's a good forty quid's worth of game there.

We had a pretty decent suite of Genesis/Megadrive games that all worked perfectly (56k and smaller internet landscape made the kind of rom collections that roll off the drive today a lot harder to compile.) One game was different however, that game was Back to the Future III. For some reason this was the hardest game ever designed and it was only one level, well we thought it was only one level. You were riding a horse that clopped around 100mph and the game was lost usually in around the first 10 seconds of play. Â It became a challenge game, a regular on the roster (the gatherings were based around Money Idol(Puzzle) Exchanger but I used to like to throw on Dick Tracy on the megadrive as it was one of the few game I could beat on Normal pretty handily, there was a second monitor for the other side of the room and it was incredibly surreal seeing way-too-cool girls I was into at some parties, watching me play Dick Tracy like it was some bizarre tv show. "Hey, look there's Madonna!") It wasn't until quite some time later that I realised this BttF was a faulty rom, the sound, which would have been a tip off played at normal speed. The game could be played on normal speed, but damn did it lose its edge. I still remember getting so close through a combination of luck and memorisation. You could even see where you were in relation to Clara on the bottom of the screen, "oh, smashed into birds so fast they couldn't be shot again". That game will always remind me of a happy time in my tumultuous teenage years.
Yeah was just thinking this when I was watching some gameplay on Youtube but couldn't remember the name of the game.ÂdavyK wrote:Lunar Jet Man on the NES would be its nearest relation in retro gaming terms.

Edit: Ah the DS files. Don't worry about those mate I didn't even give the card to my nephew, it's still in my underwear drawer with other semi-precious things.
