retroborg Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I completed Lords of Thunder (U) yesterday, 1st on the SEGA CD (Gens) & then on the PCE DUO (Magic Engine). That was one Kicks Ass game!Excellent music & gameplay.Graphics were nice, some cool bosses there. The SEGA version, I beat it without losing a life (No save states)And for The DUO, I used 1 credit (Again no save states) The DUO version was better. It had more colours & the soundtrack was better.Plus it’s so much better that on the DUO, the intro starts up directly when you boot up the game. It adds a lot to the atmosphere. This is one of the few shmups with a shop, along with Carrier Wing, that I liked.Generally the SEGA CD version was very easy compared to the DUO. The shop is slightly more expensive, but you can collect a lot more Gems in the levels than on the DUO.The narration on the Geny was nice. I liked this better than its prequel: Gate of Thunder. (I still have to beat that) They don’t make cool shmups like this any more… Anybody else played these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Yes, excellent games. I love Shoot 'em Ups too; R-Types, Gradius, etc. Excellent stuff, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supa_al Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Try Ikaruga for the Dreamcast, or Mars Matrix or Border Down, or Bangai-O, or Giga Wing, or Psyvariar 2, or Zero Gunner 2, or.....man so many to list.. They are addicting and hard. Especially Ikaruga. Could never beat it, and thats with co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've completed Ikaruga.They're nice but not as fun as Lords. Radiant Silvergun is also cool. A never ending boss fight...

Agozer Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Psikyo makes excellent shmups. Gunbirds and Strikers baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroborg Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Psikyo makes excellent shmups. Gunbirds and Strikers baby!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed.Strikers II & Striker Plus on NEOGEO are the best of the series. Border Down on DC reminds me a lot of Aero Blasters on PCE & Genesis.Same level lay out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
