August 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Scrolling shooters are a staple of videogames. Don’t believe me, just go look at the catalog of games from the first days of videogames. Asteroids was a shooter, so was Raid on Bungling Bay. Defender- yep. On the NES there were countless titles such as Gradius, Guardian Legend and more. Scrolling shooters in general are […]

New Game: Dokingan Reminds PC Gamers What Bullet Hell Shooters are like
January 7th, 2015 Carl Williams When it comes to arcade style, overhead or side scrolling, shooters the console market is the clear cut winner. The PC world simply does not get many of this style of game. In the past we have seen a few though, some of the Raiden games have been ported (though in extremely low resolution) and […]

New Game: X-Force Reminds Gamers that the Commodore 64 Can Rock Scrolling Shooters

A genre that used to rule the roost in gaming, no matter what platform you gamed on, there was probably more than a handful of side scrolling shooters (unless it was a 3DO, CD-i or Playdia that is). From the likes of Nemesis II on the Game Boy to Thunder Force III […]

New Game: R-Type 128K for the Amstrad CPC Does Port Better than Official Game
July 15th, 2014 Carl Williams The Amstrad CPC did receive an official port of R-Type many years ago. To say it was lacking is an understatement. For one, the official port did not have a soundtrack (a big no-no in a scrolling shooter) and it was bogged down with slow down and lack of color (just look at the comparison […]

New Game: NEO XYX for Dreamcast Coming in February
January 27th, 2014 Carl Williams To say that the Neo Geo and Sega Dreamcast are systems that just won’t die is probably an understatement that many gamers can easily appreciate. Sure, most of the games are scrolling arcade shooters but we do get the occasional original title, though NEO XYX is not one of them.
