Difficult to say what my favourite is as I'm useless at all of them.

I hate Twinkle Star Sprites though. Played that in the shoot 'em up league on retrogamer before I quit.

Sturmwind is totally decent. I played it a few times and for what it is, I think it holds its own.

Yeah, never added Sturmwind as i have not played it yet.

You and me both!!! Hear delivery could be imminent though - actually excited about a game which I haven't been in a long time.

Gunbird 2 is probably my favourite but one thing really gets my on nerves about it. I have a VGA box for the DC and of course its one of the few that doesn't support it.

The DC-X disc can force some games into VGA - and it does with Gunbird 2 - but it glitches a bit - great shame - especially since I got hold of a rotatable monitor recently to try out its TATE mode!!!!

Still a great game though - can't be bothered hooking up the old RGB SCART so (shock horror) I play it through the s-video signal the VGA box has. PLay it with the DC stick too.

I love shmups but I'm quite crap at them - I can 1CC Gunbird 2 but only on the lower difficulty levels - I'm gradually working my way up to easy!!!

Gameplay-wise I really like it. Love the chaining coins mechanic and the different characters really play differently and add loads to the replay value.

Here is my review https://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/index. ... =sturmwind

WORD!

The wait for this epic-looking shmup has been a long one but seemingly worth it.  8)

One I never really got stuck into was Border Down and it is right up my alley. I've never been keen on bulllet hell shooters but I did play lots of Giga Wing 2 on the machine.

I did prefer the Saturn overall for shooters.

I love most of the DC shooters though I'm not all that great at any of them. One that I will NEVER get the hang of is Psyvariar 2, that just goes against all logic for me that game. And Borderdown was just crazy hard and I could never get beyond the 2nd level. shame.

I'm just delving into the Saturn library now and must say I'm impressed with the shooters. The obvious one was RS but I never got a copy. Cant wait to get some more

Sturmwind will be out soon hopefully, CAN'T wait for that shit
