Awesome! You sure do like your shooters .
I'll have to look into Kolibri since I haven't been getting too much use out of my 32x. I can't seem to find many screenshots of it. Is it any good? |
||||
|

It's only the worlds greatest hummingbird shooter.
The gameplay is free roaming, rather than scrolling in a single direction. The artwork is fantastic, and the gameplay is fun. It doesn't take a shooter master to play this game. There are no enemy patterns to master. The enemies fly around and attack in a random fashion. I really like Kolibri, and when I booted it up for the first time, I was playing it for a good 2 hours. It is a solid game. And yes I do love shooters. My collection in total is at or around 77 shooters across all platforms. I have another genesis shooter on the way. A pretty rare one. I will post pics when it arrives :] |

Nice collection you got going there Nikon | ||||
|
||||
Ahhh no Gaiares in your collection??? Dope game right there But blah,I hate how for the majority of the shooters I own I dont have the boxes for em,...shit much less any of em. | ||||
|
||||
No Gaiares yet. A complete version of this game is not cheap, nor easy to track down. Most of what is out there is just the cart.
The games I am currently missing are some of the rarer ones. Games like Herzog Zwei and Keio Flying Squadron are going to cost me a lot of money. Especially Keio, which is rarer than any of the genesis titles. I own just the cart for M.U.S.H.A. and that alone ran me $35.00. To find a complete version of the game will cost me about 60 dollars. |

Herzog Zwei is considered a shooter. The game is a hybrid featuring shooter and real time strategy elements.
Keio Flying Squadron is on the sega cd yes. When I started this thread I had it as genesis shooter collection, because usually 32X and Sega CD get lumped in when presenting collections such as this. I changed the topic title so it is clearer. |

The image above is now super outdated I actually acquired Gaiares quit sometime ago. I need to add updated picture of my collection. Here is what I currently have in list format. The items hi-lited in orange I only own the carts for and still need to acquire complete versions. MUSHA is going to be the most costly to this for. Of all video game genres, the shooter is my favorte, and I spent quite sometime tracking all of these games down. I love the genesis, and prefer classic carts above all disc based mediums. With the Genesis having such an enormous library of shooters, it is a collection I am very proud of. I have these all on display lined on a shelf for easy accessibility.
Shmups I currently own: GEN - Airbuster GEN - Arrow Flash GEN - Bio-Hazard Battle GEN - Elemental Master GEN - Fire Shark GEN - Gaiares GEN - Grind Stormer GEN - Lightening Force GEN - M.U.S.H.A. GEN - Phelios GEN - Raiden Trad (cover variant 1) GEN - Raiden Trad (cover variant 2) GEN - Sagaia GEN - Steel Empire GEN - Task Force Harrier EX GEN - Truxton GEN - Twin Cobra GEN - Thunder Force II GEN - Thunder Force III GEN - Trouble Shooter GEN - Vapor Trail GEN - Viewpoint GEN - Whip Rush GEN - Wings of Wor SCD - Android Assault SCD - Robo Aleste SCD - Silpheed SCD - Sol-Feace 32X - Kolibri The games I still need to buy are: GEN - Atomic Robo-Kid GEN - Battle Squadron GEN - Hellfire GEN - Insector X GEN - Sol-Deace GEN - The Gadget Twins SCD - Lords of Thunder SCD - KEIO Flying Squadron |

You try Airbuster? Pretty much the only shooter outside of Gaiares I played on the Sega.
*Edit* Woops, I just read your updated list. New question then. What did you think of Air Buster? I thought it was a mad fun game. |

One of my favorite features is how the powerups get dispersed all over the screen and you have to scramble to pick them up. Enemy position and oncoming bullets can get in the way, so in many instances you have to risk death to try and sneak in and get ship upgrades. I also like this game... "Because the action is fast and furious. And the game is hot!" I have never actually seen one of those gloves in the wild, on ebay, or anywhere else. I wonder if they even sent them out. grubensau wrote:

Back in 2006 when I made the above reply, I had not spent enough time with Herzog Zwei. All I had seen was some random videos on youtube, and screenshots. After recently acquiring the game this past fall, it would indeed be classified as a Real Time Strategy game. The flying around and shooting is reminiscent to the overhead gameplay in ThunderForce II... however at its core the game is indeed an RTS. Sorry for the confusion on this, and I conceed that I was indeed wrong. Last edited by lordnikon on Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:03 pm; edited 1 time in total |

That soundtrack was nice on this game. My mom got me this game from a thrift store a lonnnng time ago and I've had it since. Unfortunately, it's just as difficult as ever to get the cartridge working right though . I loved the 8-way shot pickup the most! |

i just picked up Kolibri and Cosmic Carnage for my 32x. i have not had a chance to play either one for more than a few minutes to test them. my first impression of Kolibri is that it looks nice. I'm not sure what to do in it yet, but its a game that i could play more. CC on the other hand is looking pretty bad.
i got a few other gaming items while i was out today. i will have to test it all out and research a few of the other 32x games the shop had. so it is going to be a little while before i can give Kolibri a real gaming session. |
