Come on, Nostradamus was at least somewhat decent.

But yeah, playing Axelay for around 20 years now, I say it's one of the finest on the SNES.

I totally suck at Axelay. I've never even beat the first stage. You want to see a guy suck at playing a game? Yeah come watch me play Axelay. Even my dog gets embarrassed and leaves the room.

I finally made it to the lava stage, but I didn't get to see the lava golem. I basically burned through all the continues I had saved up in the first few minutes of that one stage. :lol:

I have managed to get through it, but it was a struggle. I find is visually spectacular if a little disorienting at first. But I still prefer UN Squadron...

When I was a kid I used to go to this after school daycare sort of place since both my parents were working. They had a Super Nintendo there with UN Squadron. Me and the other kids would fight over it. I'm a happy owner of my own copy today. :D

But is it as fun to play without the blood of other children on your hands? :wink:

That's why I'm launching "fight to the death with other children for a turn on the SNES" simulator on kickstarter.

I got the SF import on day one. Never regretted it.
Today it still is an impressive package indeed in both the audio and the video department.
That said, I just don't like these type of weapon systems where you can switch at will. I just like simple power up systems.
