Changeable Guardian Estique - New 8-bit Shmup from ex-Compile Devs - Fully Commentated Clear
A bunch of former Compile devs got together and decided the Earth needed saving in this Shmup, and that they did it best in the 80s, so it's only on the Famicom/NES and here it is: Changeable Guardian Estique.
And it's good.
A great throwback to 8-bit days of old, which is available to play on your NES, Famicom or various clone hardware. There is no rom available to buy, just the cartridge, which means no Mister. Instead I play it on an Analogue NT.

Rad Mobile - Sega Arcade Game Where an Englishman Narrates A Tour of America in 9 minutes

Rad Mobile - First Sega game on the System 32 hardware, their final 2D hardware, an epic race in the mould of Gumball Rally and the Cannonball Run.

RowBot Rally - Great Playdate concept that made me want to rip the Crank off
Просмотров 36128 дней назад
Rowbot Rally, a new top down rowing game came out on the Playdate in late December, it was hyped up as the "and one last thing" in the Fall Playdate Update and... I did not like it at all. The game is based on a premise that you are trying to correct a fault and do this through gimmicky controls. Whilst I'm all for gimmicky controls, it should not be the main star and wrestling against it for t...
A Bibelot - Y Type - A dirt cheap PS exclusive short Shmup filtered up the wazoo.

Every week I like to look through the New queue on Deku Deals, partly just to see what the Arcade Archives release for the week was (the current answer is Castle of Dragon, a late 80s action platformer) but also to see if there's anything I've missed. Anyone can make a Shmup, someone usually makes a Shmup, and if it's cheap enough I'll give it a go. This was definitely cheap enough. Turns out t...

1st Fanterra Alternative Oblivion, another wonderful Pico-8 Bullet Hell
Просмотров 102Месяц назад
This one popped out of nowhere as a "demo". I say "demo" because a lot of work has gone into this. It's 3 stages, there are 4 difficulty modes available, 3 weapons, you get 10 minutes of gameplay, and it's near enough feature complete. All that's missing is probably some more stages but compared to other Pico-8 single stage shmups, this is pretty feature complete. This is a run of the Normal mo...

This is Gekirindan, a mid-90s Shmup seeing out the end of the Toaplan-esque games as the Bullet Hell juggernaut burst its way through, and it shows because it was made by former Toaplan staff after the company went bust.

      I've got a secret reveal, it's not one that I'm particularly proud of, but because a lot of work in Shmups is repeating so much especially when I want to clear arcade games, I don't listen to the music any more. I put on a pair of headphones and listen to podcasts. However, I've gone back and listened to it. The sound effects are like they're taken out of 8-bit Aleste/pre-Aleste Compile titles, a little plink sound when something hits which is a nice throwback. The music though is quite varied, I don't think all of it hits, but I do appreciate Bayern because it sounds like someone's made an 8-bit version of a pop song, and there's some other music which sounds absolutely like an 8-bit Action title like it could be a Ninja Gaiden clone. There is stuff here for people to enjoy, but I have a lot of podcast subscriptions to get through. Thanks for watching.

      I've spent many a moment this weekend mulling this, looking up the current thinking on the matter. In a galaxy itself there does of course exist a much smaller amount of magnetism, however, the cloud behind the boss at the end of the first stage realistically generate enough magnetism through its dynamo action to effectively power the space toilet time portal rotation. My commentary was wrong. The things Shmups makes you look up from time to time.

      Thanks for watching. It's a common thing in Darius games, there's a big rank increase when moving from one weapon class to another, even on max difficulty here from Dip Switch settings there is room to go up and what rank also adds is Boss HP. Bosses are shorter if you keep to missiles, with max missiles also being quite strong in their own right, and as much as I love G.T., I don't think I'd survive spending an extra minute or two with her even if moving up would make the stages themselves easier.

There's a bunch of Toaplan games here like Slap Fight, Batsugun Special and Vimana, and also Twinbee (but I'll wait for the FPGA core for that). I've got some Level 4, 5 and 6's lined up just needing to get time to do the commentary, which also starts getting into Darius, and after Vimana I'm going to skip ahead briefly to level 23 just to show easy games can help figure out harder ones. Looking forward to putting that one out. Thanks for sticking around so far though, it'll be a long journey but there'll hopefully be more fun as I go further up.

I’ve spent more time trying to juice Stage 1 + 2 EXPERT than the time to “clear”. Still got to hunt around for Japanese players’ footage. No idea how they’re getting the monster scores they’re putting up. It’s a different mindset, but this is like an event or festival. The hundreds (maybe a thousand?)
