What shmup are you playing now?

Hellfire is pretty sweet but it seems to be the red-headed stepchild of Toaplan; not many people have heard of it let alone played it, and that's a shame.

Yeah I read a long thread on best Genesis shooters on another forum that ran for 4 pages- and Hellfire not mentioned once! Im glad to be onr of the select few...Hellfire Illuminati! Lol

I'm playing Sapphire for the PCE-CD. It's quite shitty, I don't see how anyone would enjoy it. Highly overrated and overpriced, even if you get a copy for free!



^^Hooray CD technology! You have to listen to about three hours of unskippable cut scenes of these three giggling and chattering



^^The other 30 minutes? This is about as action-packed as it gets, folks.



^^ Actually, the last encounter is pretty intense as evidenced above.

Arguably the worst shooter I've played in some time. Avoid the hype.

But Mike promised me onaholes of each of the Sapphire ladies for changing my vote from CC to Sapphire.

Honestly, watch...rather listen, to 30 seconds of this:



If that doesn't get every ounce of you in a lather, then you deserve Dave's suggested snooze fest.

You're right, I take it back, it doesn't look nearly as bad as crimson clover. I didn't mean to knock Sapphire, I know its a game you must really enjoy since it ended up in your list of 3 shmups you wanted the community to enjoy

For what its worth, I actually liked what I've played of CC, though it was only the demo. But, I am a cheap ass mofo. I feel perfectly content stealing Sapphire (which I already had done), but I would feel guilty doing such with CC.

If it does win, I'll try to buy a copy of the game before its month is up. It was quite pleasing double-breaking.

I do have to give it to you for picking 3 shmups, all on different platforms, none of which are available via MAME. Sapphire being the only emulate-able game might have been an oversight though
