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...
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.
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*
