ChoRenSha 68K
ChoRenSha 68K (herein known as "68K) is a retro-type 2D shooter, most similar to the classic shoot-em-up, Raiden.
In 68K you fly over the same backround throughout the entire game, but you will be to busy keeping up with the insane, blazing fast 2D action to even have time to take notice of the backround. 68K makes use of the one-hit-kills system found in many games of its type. This keeps you on your toes the whole time, as just one of the 100's of on-screen bullets can quickly put an end to your life and at the same time dousing any special fire-power you may have picked up, causing you to start your next liife with your default gun, which is hardly enough to keep you alive ones the game starts getting difficult **End too long run-on sentence**. And difficult the game will get, but don't worry, you have unlimited continues that will star you back from the beginning of the level when used. I like the continue system, since I feel that since it starts you over from the beginning of the level it does not let you be careless and waste your lives with reckless abandon. At the same time, you have unlimited chances to keep you from getting frusturated at having to start the game over.
There are only two buttons (not counting Up, Down, Left and Right) to make use of in 68K: Z and X, or Shoot and Bomb. Simple controls but I had the problem that although you can shoot without a break in your bullets, there is no rapid fire so you must keep on hitting the "Shoot" key, which can quickly tire your trigger finger.
The graphics in 68K are a blast from the 2D past. Everything looks really early 90's, arguably the height of 2D 'shmup gaming :-). The explosions are also very impressive. The sound in 68K is a bit above average.
Bottom Line: Old school shooting at it's near best, this is a real fun game that reminds you how good the 2D days were. People who don't enjoy 'shmups, especially ones without fancy graphics, should steer clear, but people with a tast for old style shooters: This is your game. Two thumbs up.
