+grips03 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Looking for some Sega SG-1000 or SMS vertical shooters, any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 For Master System, I'd recommend Power Strike. There are some other ones for novelty (i.e., they may not actually be very good) like Bomber Raid, Astro Warrior, and the vertical segments of Thunder Blade. I am not certain about SG-1000 vertical shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I enjoy Thunder Blade, for a short time, then it gets kind of boring (it's not really a strong genre on the MS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 "Astro Warrior" was one of the very first SMS games that I ever played so it's nostalgic for me. I only met one family back in the late 80's who owned a SMS and that was one of the games I played, along with "Choplifter", and a really fast driving and shooting thing that could have been "Action Fighter". I recently played it again on emulator and it's still enjoyable but I suck at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not that you suck, it's probably those big-ass hitboxes that allow you to die before anything actually hits you (at least in the actual flying/shmup sections).

carlsson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 For the SG-1000, I have enjoyed Star Jacker through pseudo-emulation on a MSX. I don't know if there are better vertical shooters for the SG-1000, but I found it good enough to start looking for a physical cartridge.

108 Stars Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 For the SG-1000 there is also Star Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Bomber Raid has some nice graphics. I think it's worth playing. Astro Warrior is actually a damn good little game IMO, and considering it should be DIRT cheap on the Hang On multicart (also a good game of course!) makes it a no brainer to me.
