Earth Defenders Force (SNES)

Post by Gooseberrysoda »

Has anyone else played this? My first impressions were good (Lotsa power ups, scrolling effects are cool, tons of stuff flying everywhere) but then I realized that the hit detection sucks, therefore making it unplayable.

I returned it today. Maybe it was good in arcades, but not on my SNES.

This was actually one of my favorite shmups for the SNES. I used to have it years ago. Pretty decent graphics, IMO. I could never beat it, though. The later stages were hard.

Earth Defense Force (SNES)

Post by Ack »

So I'm trying to figure out if my copy's messed up, or if it's normally this way, but I sat down with Earth Defense Force on my Super Nintendo this morning, and while the game felt solid, I noticed lots of flicker and slowdown. I also noticed that music seemed to cut out whenever I fought a boss. This doesn't seem to happen in YouTube videos though.

Also, before anybody asks, I'm terrible at the game. I can only make it to the boss of level 4 using homing weapons on normal. I suck at shmups.
