Re-watchng the Thunderforce movies made, and trying to fix my Arrow Flash movie, I've caught the shooter bug again. Every so often, I'll have a craving to go out and play any shooter I can get my hands on, despite the fact that without savestates, I'm completely crap at all of them. >>; I'm trying to remember all of the great Genesis shooters, but my memory has holes. It's been awhile since the Sega Channel. Preferrably side shooters, since, for whatever reason, I dislike top-down shooters. Going off of memory... Battle Wings: I'm WANTING to say you controlled a blimp, of all things. Eliminate Down: I...don't remember much about this... Sol-Deace: The E-Wing plane. I loved that thing, even if it was a pain to use properly. Thunderforce IV: The only Genesis one that hasn't been done yet. Whip Rush: I'm wanting to say the ship in this is a squat little pod thingy... and, of course Zero Wing. Takers? I'm trying to get my E-Wing Fighter skills back to snuff. Stupid debris.

It's been ages since I've played it, but I can remember Gynoug being very impressive when it first came out. Maybe worth checking out.

Battle Wings / Steel Master - http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=336 Bio-Hazard Battle / Crying - A rare horzie shmup. http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=712 Curse - Interesting, lesser-known horzie. http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=620 Elemental Master - Whether you're into vert shooters or not, this is a mustplay. It's by Technosoft, for chrissakes. And the soundtrack rocks. http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=210 Eliminate Down - long levels, needs lots of memorising. HARD BASTARD! :P http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=791 Gleylancer - similar to Thunderforce 3. Seems almost as good. But Gate Of Thunder for PC Engine beats the shit out of it. I'm looking into doing Gleylancer at some point... but TF4 is higher priority. http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=844 Gynoug / Wings Of Wor - Horzie shmup where you control a winged bloke. http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=302 Sol-Deace - http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=1098 Truxton - tough vertical shooter. Looks rather old these days, but it plays reasonably okay. For a vert. (I'm a horzi fan ;) http://www.genesiscollective.com/ShowPage.php?GameLink=1192

I can recommend Bio-Hazard Battle. It's two-player and use of the combined option/shield can be very funny. Don't know how interesting it would be for a timeattack though.
