Gradius(ahah)
LifeForce(haah)


i have a few on SNES and GEnesis, but i;m too lazy to go upstairs,

in SectionZ, you play as the one and and only Captain Commando.

Salamander

Life Force, is salamander except in US.

That explains it... was never clear on that.

Seriously, though, check out Metal Storm. Not the best, but it has a very interesting gravity mechanic.

they're called Shmups or Shoot-em-ups....

a good one is S.C.A.T.

Dragon Spirit is a vertical shooter that combines elements from Galaga and Xevious and Legendary Wings is a shooter combining overhead and side scrolling action.

Do you know if this has anything to do with Thunder Spirits, which is SNES and Horizontal.

(Has both "side-scrolling" and "overhead" stages)
(This one is unexplainable )

Only played each game briefly, but there's definitely some shooter-like stuff going on in those.


'Thunder Spirits' is the Super Nintendo version of 'Thunder Force III'. It is unrelated to 'Dragon Spirit'.

Awesome!, i always wanted Thunder force III, Kick Ass!
