Virtual Spotlight: Life Force, NES's High-Quality Lo-Fi Shooter

USGamer:
nd back in 1983, Nintendo was a relative nobody, an arcade manufacturer with a single hit to its name — they had no clout. Third parties didn't bother to release Famicom games for a full year after the system's debut, and once they started it quickly degenerated into a free-for-all.

Yes! That game brings back childhood memories. I didn't have an NES at that time, but a kid who lived at the same apartment complex did and he was pretty stingy with his video games. On a good day he would let me play some of his NES games at his place and Life Force was one I enjoyed playing. My brother and I had an Atari 7800 then a TG16 shortly after

Gun.Smoke was what I always played. Became too much at times with all the enemies and things flying at you from every direction, fun game though.

Crisis force, Gradius 2, over horizon, the three best shooters on the NES for me personally.

Jackal and Guerilla War

Another huge exclusive for PS4 is coming, now it's MLB The Show 16.

I'm not a baseball fan, but people will have a great time with this game.

I haven't gotten a baseball game in a long time but The Show has been looking pretty amazing. Maybe if they come out with a VR version I'll check it out.
