Bio-Ship Paladin

Here in America we received the vast majority of the Sega Genesis’ shooter library but there were some curious omissions that were very interesting from a gameplay perspective. Whether you consider it a shooter or not Twinkle Tale takes what...

Kickle Cubicle

In my mind the name Irem has always been associated with R-Type. It’s no secret why; R-Type is one of the most influential shooters of all time. But that one seminal game did tend to overshadow a lot of their...

Aero Blasters was one of the first Turbo Grafx-16 games I ever played. After the disappointment of Keith Courage it helped to give me a favorable impression of the system. It also helped that the game was awesome. Coming off...

Gunforce

I loved Contra III. It is one of my favorite action games of all time and blew my mind back in 1992. But you can only replay a game so many times before craving something new. Run and gun action...

Greendog: the Beached Surfer Dude!

I may not have been a fan of most of Sega Technical Institute’s output but I can acknowledge that it went a long way toward broadening the system’s library. While Japan cranked out the hits STI created interesting titles alongside...
