I actually meant to mention this. Seeing as how my blog is called Game Boy Player Land, you might imagine that I use the Gamecube Game Boy Player a lot.
At any rate, Solar Striker looks AMAZING when colorized. The moons are a bright yellow against the dark black space. It's so apparent that they thought about the colorization way back then -- sort of like how Metroid II has color information so that Samus LOOKS LIKE Samus when colorized. So awesome.
One other "shooter" I enjoyed was Star Trek on the original Gameboy. Though it was not purely a shooter with some planet exploration sections, I thoroughly enjoyed the parts where you controlled the Enterprise and shot at various Klingons, Romulans, and space amoeba type things (and asteroids). It had a fun balancing act of deciding how best to divert your power (shields, phasers, speed) and you had to decide which balance was the best for each level. Good stuff...
Never played this. I'm not a Star Trek fan, so I've never really tried any of the games. I actually was not even aware of this one as being a shooter to be honest...
