Quote from: GUTSAnd Gunstar heroes is awful, it shouldn't even be compared to the old Contras. That stupid dice maze is the worst idea Treasure has ever had
That's why I said the first few levels. Or did you selectively skip that part of my sentence just so you could rip on the dice maze?

Quote from: KitsunexusI skipped that part of your sentence because I don't remember what stage the dice maze is, could have been level 3 for all I know, its been ages since I've played that pile of shit.

Joe Redifer · 03/20/2007, 04:34 AM

You fucking LOVE the dice maze and you know it.

Fixed.

At least they left the dice part out of the GBA version; or so I hear, I haven't played it yet. It's only $9.99 at Toys R Us right now though so I've been debating picking it up, maybe once they drop it to $4.99.

RuninRuder · 03/20/2007, 04:44 PM

I didn't like anything about Gunstar except for Seven Force and the "running man" boss.

Kitsunexus · 03/20/2007, 05:45 PM

I love EVERYTHING about Gunstar Heroes, including the Fruit-Roll Ups that came with it! ^.^

Sometimes I think all you haters just can't appreciate a good HARD oldschool game.

True, I prefer easy-going games like Rayxanber II, Gaiares, and Sinistron to the horrifying challenges of Gunstar Heroes, Space Megaforce, and Zelda 3.

WTF brought up Zelda III in this thread? That game is pussy and EVERYONE knows it. Zelda games aren't designed for challenge, they're designed to give gay elf fetishists something to whack to.

WTF was that hardcore TG-16 shooter that curses at you in Japanese? That just came to my mind after reading this thread.

Dude, I'm not sure what brought up ANY of the stuff that we're talking about now in this thread.

Seriously though, if you really think games like Gunstar and Megaforce are hard, then I'd have to say that you're still in the peach-fuzz phase of experiencing old-school challenge.

No I think they're hard because I grew UP WITH THEM BEING hard. Notice I didn't say hardest, even I will admit they are not that hard compared to later games of their genres. But seriously, to say it isn't hard, as opposed to say a Kirby game, thats just sheer lunatic bullshit.

Keranu · 03/20/2007, 07:34 PM

Though I haven't played it very much, I recall Gunstar Heroes being hard. On the other hand, I recall Space Megaforce being really easy.

Kitsunexus · 03/20/2007, 07:42 PM

Did I ever say SM was hard? I implied that it was the same speed as Pulstar, NOT the same difficulty.

Yes, I LIKE Space Megaforce, but it is NOT hard, not at all.

Keranu · 03/20/2007, 07:44 PM

I wasn't saying you did, I just posted that I thought the game was easy too. And yeah I agree with you, I don't remember SM being any slower than the standard shooter really.

Kitsunexus · 03/20/2007, 07:52 PM

Ah, my bad. Does anybody know to dat what the hardest 2d shooter is? I want to play it.

Keranu · 03/20/2007, 08:15 PM

Rayxamber II is usually said to be the hardest shooter on the PCE, but as far as any platform goes, I'm not too sure. Probably some bullet hell game with a long stupid name.

PCEngineHell · 03/20/2007, 08:57 PM

Quote from: Kitsunexus on 03/20/2007, 07:52 PMAh, my bad. Does anybody know to dat what the hardest 2d shooter is? I want to play it.

I hear Last Hope was designed so badly its giving alot of people headaches.

Kitsunexus · 03/20/2007, 09:52 PM

No no, not bad hard, I want the hardest GREAT game.

RuninRuder · 03/20/2007, 10:00 PM

The games I mentioned earlier--Rayxanber II, Gaiares, and Sinistron--are definitely among the toughest 16-bit sidescrollers, and they're all very good.

Kitsunexus · 03/20/2007, 10:11 PM

Oh when you said Rayxamber II, I thought you were talking about those mediocre PS1 shooters, like RayCrisis and RayStorm! XD

I'll have to try Rayxamber II. ^_^

PCEngineHell · 03/20/2007, 10:15 PM

Gaiares and Lightning Force are on the tops of my Genesis shooter list. I have alot of others,even harder ones like Curse,but they are not as enjoyable.

Joe Redifer · 03/20/2007, 11:20 PM

It's Rayxanber.

And Curse is fairly easy until the 5th (last level, where the rules of the game change and it sets you way back when you die, unlike the previous 4 levels where it does not set you back at all.

PCEngineHell · 03/20/2007, 11:48 PM

Yea its that last level that can really own your ass. The one before it can be a real pain too when they throw everything they can at you at certain points,warheads,robots,ships,ect ect.

Joe Redifer · 03/21/2007, 01:12 AM

Plus the game only moves at 30fps (this was before they invented Blast Processing™) so it seems a bit choppy when things are moving fast.

PCEngineHell · 03/21/2007, 01:24 AM

Thats right,Genesis really sucked hardcore until they invented Blast Processing. From then on everything went smooth at Sonic speed.

Joe Redifer · 03/21/2007, 03:16 AM

It's true. Pixar renders all of their movies on a single Genesis using Blast Processing™ and it usually only takes 10 or 15 minutes to output the entire movie.

PCEngineHell · 03/21/2007, 03:41 AM

Oh yea,for serious. I mean,Toy Story the game proved that. I heard it took them even less time to make it with Blast Processing,like 7 mins. They like showed a Genesis dev kit a few pics of the finished movie and it made the game itself like god made the earth,but faster,in 7 mins. If only god had Blast Processing.

I also heard the Snes version took months longer because they had to port the superior Genesis version over onto a system obviously lacking the ability to do Blast Processing and had to program it all themselves. So they held the Genesis release up to let the other catch up. I don't like sports but I also heard football is like 90 times faster on Genesis due to Blast Processing,and if even a lick of that is true then Blast Processing is God Like. I even hear the football moves faster.

PCEngineHell · 03/21/2007, 03:56 AM

Too bad they couldn't have invented Blast Processing on the Amiga along with a controller with at least 3 buttons.

CrackTiger · 03/21/2007, 08:23 AM

I specifically recall it pronounced as "Wayzambuuh!" at the title screen.

Joe Redifer · 03/21/2007, 11:28 AM

No. I uploaded an MP3 somewhere and though it does sound like a group of excited retards, it's definitely an N.

Keranu · 03/21/2007, 04:57 PM

I thought it was Rasin Bar?

Kitsunexus · 03/21/2007, 11:17 PM

If Intel added Blast Processing to their processors, they MIGHT just be able to match the Genesis.

After all, the Genesis was fully capable of running Virtua Fighter 3.

BonkThis · 04/02/2007, 03:20 PM

After reading all these posts im not sure if this is on topic or off, but I just wanted to throw out there that I think Soldier Blade is one of the best shooters for the TG and actually of all time. I am not sure what justifies a compile shooter (as this is the first time I have heard this term used) but this seems like its closed based on what everyone else is saying. O:)

Kitsunexus · 04/02/2007, 07:39 PM

Compile shooter = shooter developed by Compile (ie: Zanac, Space Megaforce, etc...)

If this was about Compile SERIES though, I'd say Puyo Puyo, hands down.

RuninRuder · 04/02/2007, 09:44 PM

There are five or six Duo verts that I like even more, but Soldier Blade is definitely a great shooter.

As far as Compile in general goes, I'd take the ACD version of Madou Monogatari I over any of these other games.

Joe Redifer · 04/03/2007, 02:30 AM

Does R-Type for the Sega Master System count? That's a Compile game (released by Nintendo in the arcades and developed by Irem).

BonkThis · 04/03/2007, 08:14 AM

wow im retarded... my bad lol

TR0N · 04/03/2007, 11:33 PM

Guess i'll pose another compile question.

Has any body ever given Zanac X Zanac a try for the PS1 ?

I've been tempted to get it but it's asking price is putting me off.

Worth it or not ?

MotoRoaderMike · 04/06/2007, 08:44 PM

I can't believe "The Guardian Legend" isn't a voting option! That game is friggin' awesome! And the main character is hot. I ordered the Sega CD port of "Robo Aleste" earlier this week, which is apparently the only Sega CD game Tengen published. Compile also made an awesome Godzilla game on the NES.

Yeah, unless I make polls, things are forgotten.

But that game was classic. Sigma Star Story was just OK.

Apparently you "forgot" to read the first sentence in the first post of this thread.

Even after that first sentence, The Guardian Legend's non-inclusion was addressed later on the first page.
