| * Shapermc: Origianlly designed to be a gaiden to the //[[game:darius_series|Darius]]// saga, //Metal Black// is the love child of [[company:Taito]]. It has an excellent and unique powerup system that builds up as you pick up more DNA. The awesome thing about this is that the bosses also use the same power ups as you do. What this means is awesome lazer shooting, you versus boss, endurance test. These little sections of the boss fight are pretty amazing. A similar mechanic shows up again in //[[game:Border Down]]//. | * Shapermc: Origianlly designed to be a gaiden to the //[[game:darius_series|Darius]]// saga, //Metal Black// is the love child of [[company:Taito]].

| * dessgeega: //Exedexes// (released in North America as the bizarrely-titled "attack of the savage bees") is one of my favorite shooters. simple, straightforward shooting and dodging. It has a few little tricks. "POW" icons, ala //[[game:Son Son]]//, that change all on-screen enemies into fruits. bosses which are huge gun platforms that have to be destroyed piece by piece. It goes on and on, stages blending seemlessly into each other, and often I'll just play for an hour or two, feeding in credits. | * dessgeega: //Exedexes// (released in North America as the bizarrely-titled "attack of the savage bees") is one of my favorite shooters. simple, straightforward shooting and dodging.
