Best Famicom shooters

[uroko-sakanabito]

Guardic Gaiden is the best one... Zelda meets Aleste...
Most of my games are Shooters and there are not many so special like Guardic Gaiden (US/PAL = Guardian Legend) Musik is absolut great, many weapons, sweet story...

I never really liked the Gardian Legend. I mean I own it, but the non-flight missions are confusing and in my opinion, boring. This is one of those games that you would need the manual to understand. Without it, it's lost on me. I much prefer simplier shooters such as Gun-Nac. Now THAT's a good shooter!

Protip: Enter a password of "TGL" in the Guardian Legend to play just the shooter parts 

[satoshi_matrix]

Oh Gamepro. Your protips are so useful for everyday life!

I was too touched for this thread, so I can't resist do this, show my favs in the screen, the real one, YEAH!!!!


Galaxian is awesome, it's old, easy, whatever you say, for me it's TRUE fun.


Those dangs purple ships are some sort of kamikazes. I hate them.


Classic of classics


Some people let their ship get trapped. I'm not one of them.


Time for a little Twin Bee, with Game Genie included.


Awesome


A little bit of Star Force


Some Macross in the old toaster


My bed, my feets and Carnival Summer 92'


Nice intro for Gradius II


This screen reminds you something?


LifeForce, best shooter ever.


I'm not an octopus


Turn off everyhitng, let's go back to earth.

That famiclone just rocks. You can mess some games with this baby.

lol a pc engine shulltle fami-clone...
Where are the pictures from the macross game...? any impressions ?

[PrinceDragon]

What about Argus?

Argus is awesome man. Oh god, I love shooters.

Me too. There's many good shooters on the 80's. Vulgus is a simple game the Famicom users weren't able to enjoy as it never got a home version. It was the first Capcom game. Thye same goes to Stinger, the first Seibu game. Of course, let's not forget Xevious/Super Xevious, the Famcom versions of these game are very good.

Xevious didn't really click for me; I still played it until I found that it was never ending.

For some reason, I hate Macross. Since I was a child, I never have been able of found a meaning to that game. I think you have to watch Robotech to understand it . Going a little off-topic, one interesting thing to note is that my Famicom and my TV are both PAL-N (but able of show PAL-M and NTSC pictures too) and the games doesn't fill the entire screen. Instead, they look like a (16-color) movie, with black bars up and down. Artistic, I think.

[Switchstance]

mmm my TV sucks. Badly, it has too many fights. I need a 100" plasma to watch those shooters properly.

[satoshi_matrix]

100" Plasma? do they even make them that big? thats like, the size of a tokyo appartment!

[vealchop]

They actually make a 107" plasma
