The latest in City Connection's Saturn Tribute line, Assault Suit Leynos 2, is on sale now in the West on Xbox and Steam — complete with a new English localization handled by Chilloc! Get the details in my story here:
Blast Wind is a shmup STG by Technosoft for the Sega Saturn released in 1997. Meant for arcades in 1993, it failed its location test and missed its advertised release date, was retooled as Inazuma Saber, which also failed its location test, and finally landed on Saturn. #Shmup#Shmups#ShootingGames#RetroGaming

Gun Trails v1.2 adds a new novice mode, improved load times & bug fixes. This is close to my original vision for the game, so I'm satisfied with this being the last major patch.

Taito Darius upright and sit-down cabinets from 1986. They are enormous triple screen machines with beautiful artwork, also used for The Ninja Warriors. #Shmup#Shmups#ShootingGames#RetroGaming
This is "Starburst" on #ZXSpectrum - a "Crash" magazine covertape game. A very decent shmup which manages to avoid colour-clash issues for the most part, and plays quite smoothly. Incremental power-ups build quickly and you don't lose them ALL if you die. Have to appreciate a shmup that isn't dead-set on wrecking your life... 🙂
If this was on the front of my magazine in 1991 I'd be pretty chuffed.
DoDonPachi is a shmup STG by Cave and Atlus released for arcades in 1997, created to surpass Battle Garegga by Raizing. It is a refinement of its prequel DonPachi, with more enemies and bullets, quicker powerups and a MAXIMUM surplus bomber system. #Shmup#Shmups#ShootingGames#RetroGaming
