A look back at 16-bit scrolling shooters. Of all the classic game genres, very few remain as cutting-edge as the automatically scrolling shoot 'em up.
Yes, it is much harder to start a retro collection in 2022 than it was in 2017, but it’s still possible! You’ll see there are still quite a few SNES games that are fun and affordable.
I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .
Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.
Turning 64 this year.....my days playing video games are Now over.... time to move on to Jesus Christ .....I wish all of you Happy New Year . Game on Dudes!!!
It was fun while it lasted.
A.J. says "If you've visited this humble site before then you probably know how much I love shoot 'em ups. Here, I'll take a look back at a few classics and a couple of more obscure titles so maybe you'll discover a shmup or two to add to your collection." https://videochums.com/arti...
Review for Axelay on Super Nintendo, Wii U, and Wii. These space invaders sure mean business. There's nothing more satisfying for a retro gamer than discovering an underrated gem. You may not have heard of Axelay, but its perfect combination of tight shoot 'em up gameplay, exemplary presentation, fresh level design, and thrilling boss battles will have you hooked from start to finish. Now that it's available for multiple consoles, being able to experience this old school alien invasion is easier than ever.
Classic! I still remember the first time I played this. It was the game I bought with my import US snes back in 1992 along with street fighter. I saved an aweful lot of pocket and school lunch money for that bad boy and it was worth every penny. The music and the mode 7 effects were fantastic! When I buy a wiiU, I'll be getting this for the virtual console as soon as I hook up the console!
excellent!! axelay is so far my favorite shoot 'em game . i still have my snes cartrige and my snes and i play this game from time to time. music, modes (1 stage is top view, next one sidescroller and so on)
i wonder why konami never do a sequel or any updates. but to tell the true, this game doesnt need any *updates*
